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.
