I think I'll wear my Daron Clayton shirt today. Way to man up Daron.:thumb

Re: Clayton at Calistoga....
 

:applaud::thumbThanks to Daron for finally telling it like it was and not someone
just spreading more :censor:. We have all messed up and probably will again, but
at least he is man enough to admit what he did and hope he has learned a lesson, the rumor mill
can churn pretty fast and usually inaccurately. Keep up the good work you do Daron. Your true fans love you for who you are, a real person.

Posted via Mobile Device Isnt this part of the mystique of sprint car racing ? Contrary to most peoples opinions there is nothing wrong with raising a little hell every now and then ! There have been alot of hell raisers in this sport down through the years and they have made it fun and exciting for everyone ! No one is perfect and everyone at one time or another has done something that didnt involve their best judgment. At least some drivers arent afraid to have a little fun

Re: Clayton at Calistoga....
 

Thanks Darron for your response. I will continue to follow your career from sunny southern California. Hope the rest of the year works well for you and look forward to seeing you at the Oval Nationals. A new fan. :)

I am glad everything turned out ok in the end. These people around here (in the bay area) need to lighten up anyway. When I saw all the cops driving in I was thinking that this really bad for sprint car racing at Calistoga. But it sounds like you did a good job talking with them.

By the way, I talked to some people who live in Calistoga and they said you can usually get away with 2 laps before the cops come. So if anyone tries it again, that’s the word on the street; 2 laps only.

Well once everything was loaded, the track was empty, lights out, and we were the only by standers around i decided to cut a couple laps. On the third lap, i spun, decided that was enough and went to pull out the gate. I was met by a bunch of people that heard the action but didnt get to see it. So i went back out. didnt get away with a spin the second time, :redflag: and I scraped the wall.

I have talked with the grounds manager and the promoter and appoligized for the incident and lack of judgement. Everything is good, i made a point to make sure that this wouldnt affect USAC coming back there and the manager said that it wouldnt be a factor, and that everything is ok for the next time.

There were no alchohol/drugs involved, just bad judgement on my part. The car had only a scraped LR quarter panel. I was not arrested, nor do i have any charges pressed. Not sure what the whole deal on the trash cans is, but i was not involved in that.

Once again my appologies to the track, USAC, fans and fellow drivers. It was a mistake on my part alone, and i have learned from it. The last thing i flew to California to do is hurt the appeal of non-wing racing.

Thank you,
-Daron Clayton
