Congratulations both to Dave and to Steve and Carla Phillips for what was obviously an excellent back-up #71P. Great job by all!

I would say that Chuck is pointing out that Dave passed a lot of cars last night.

All I meant was he didn't just drive from the tail of the A to 3rd. He drove from the tail of the B just to make the tail of the A. Then drove the wheels off to get third.
If they'd of started the car that broke in heat in the B. He'd not only have started toward the front of the B but started 7th in the A if he transferred.

From the time Dave Darland rolled out onto the track in that backup car and took the green in the B Main, he was just a force of nature. He was an early aggressor in the semi, snatching positions quickly. In the feature, be bided his time early and then just went on a rampage in the second half of that race. He had to battle Stanbrough for a few laps for I think 4th place and then just grabbed that position away with an aggressive, perfectly executed slider and then set sail for Clauson. It was the move of the race, IMO. The second best move of the race was diving low to take 3rd away from BC in turns 3 and 4, coming down to the checkered flag.
There's been a lot of things that have made 2013 a real tough season. Especially losing some of the people we have, from Josh Burton, to Morty, to Jason Lefler. And Mother Nature dominated the first half of the year. Some day, when we look back on 2013, I think one of the real highlights of this season will be the run that this great driver and the "little team that could" made for the USAC title. Win or lose.

Had a very enjoyable evening! The crowd seemed to be much larger than last years and there was great racing in all the divisions. We enjoyed the racing from our patio seats, which, to me, is one of the greatest improvements that Tony Stewart has made to the facility. Even though Dave Darland didn't win any of the features, I would certainly consider him a winner. He could have given up a bunch of points if not for the tremendous drive he made in a backup car with no practice laps. He kept us on the edge of our seats as he sliced through the traffic. One of the greatest drives I've seen at the The Big E.
