Dave Darland
If I'm reading this correctly, Dave Darland charged from 24nd to third in USAC Sprints at Eldora to keep the points race close. He would of given up a ton of points to Clauson if not for that remarkable drive. Did it in his backup car. Dave is simply amazing. :8::8::8:

Re: Dave Darland
Darlands drive was amazing to watch. What a great night at Eldora.When we arrived there was no parking available in main lot, first time I've ever seen that, had to pay to park accross street, I knew then they had a good crowd. Saw cars from 14 states while walking through the lot. When we walked in I was shocked, the crowd was HUGE. Racing was fantastic from all three divisions. The 4 Crown is alive and well.

Echo that - great racing, great crowd, great weather. What a wild sprint car feature! Second year in a row the Hoffman car goes for a ride in turn two in the feature.
Nonwing racing is so good. Great battle in the midget main too I'm tired, broke, sunburned, and my stomach hurts from too much racetrack food ........ worth every second of the pain! Can't wait until next year! |
Just got home to Reading PA after the 500 mile ride home. Out raced and back in 25 hours. This WINDOM fan Loved it

No, He didn't come from 24 to third. He came from 17TH in the B main to Third in the Main having to start the Main at the rear due to a car with no time.
At one point in the A main Dave came up on 7th/8th racing for position and passed both of them in one move. |

Re: Dave Darland
he went to a backup car, therefore had no qualifying time. He started at the back of the b-main and transferred, then started last in the a feature and passed Clausen on the last lap for 3rd

Charles: I'm confused, also. Not sure where you have me wrong. There were 18 cars in the Semi, according to USAC Twitter, and he started last due to going to his backup. He finished 2nd. USAC Twitter says he started 24th in the main, last, except for a 25th car that was added. He clearly finished 3rd. ___________ Wes Stafford |
