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.
