Way to go Chris!!

He was very impressive in his first ARCA race by running second at The Springfield Mile last August, so I guess maybe we shouldn't be too surprised he's taking to the taxi cabs as well as he is. Springfield is not the easiest place to run your first Cup style stock car race. Over the years I've seen many a dirt late model driver wad one up at Springfield & Du Quoin in their first try. Scott Bloomquist spun in front of most of the field in the first turn of the first lap in his one and only race in a Cup style car at Springfield, luckily no one hit him.

I'm kinda' surprised someone didn't recruit Kyle Larson to drive an ARCA car at Daytona since he's racing just down the road at New Smyrna.

It's neat that some of these kids are trying their hand racing these cars, it gives me some incentive to actually watch these stock car races they're in. Without them I'd pay no attention at all.

We are also pulling for Alex Bowman and Drew Charlson. Their times are right there also. Any racing is good this time of year.

I have met Drew Charleson and his dad, both stand up people. Good luck to all of the open wheel drivers down south!
