When you start a post with "It is time you all" then you are inviting "you all" to the party!

No, he told you what your opinion should be.

What I meant by it was that anyone who'd met Daron and Shelly know they're salt of the earth nice people. Where the beast comes from in Darons driving? IDK but he's fun to watch. So why put him down like that? It's not nice.

I for one cheer for all the drivers and teams, no matter if they're my favorites or not.
There's a ton of reasons drivers or teams either win or don't. In Daron's case Lack of Talent isn't one of those reasons.

OK, I should have more sense than to ask this, but sometimes your curiosity just wins out over common sense. Who is the "Northpole Nightmare" ?

Daron is a special driver. I miss seeing him regularly drive a sprint car. Kudos to Kent
Schmidt for giving him some seat time in a back up car, it is appreciated.
What he and his wife have endured should never happen to a young couple. Here’s hoping they are turning the corner and better days are ahead.

The first time I had ever heard of Daron was on youtube when I watched him at Eldora 2013 leading 4 crown up on the concrete then unfortunately flipping. The other great video on YT is Eastern Storm at Grandview from 2013 when he won the Jesse Hockett classic holding off BC and Levi Jones in his family owned 92. I was an instant fan.

Fast Forward to Sprint Week last year my first time at Haubstadt I finally got to see the MDC in person at his wheelhouse. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears in the infield when Daron came onto the racetrack after going to the work area in the feature. The crowd went insane when he pulled onto the track. I'll never forget it. Later that night Daron and Chase Stockon had a huge after party in the pits till like 3am (Chase was still in his firesuit when I left) and I nearly missed my flight that morning. Hope to see Daron run Sprint Week again this year.
