I know the cockpit area is kinda dark, but is he not wearing gloves?

Watching incar camera clips shows its not as easy as it looks to drive a sprint car. Things happen fast. looked like he hit a couple of cars. Its good to go watch from differnt places and get a look form differnt and angels.

Nice vid of Standridge in what looks like his own #22 sprinter. Never been to Jacksonville, Ill. looks like it is a pretty small track. And yes it looks like he has no gloves on!

I'm setting myself up for some blasting here but in my eyes when i see in car clips i think it doesn't do the driver justice and to me it looks easier to drive than it is. I know things happen fast all around you but some of those clips seem like things are in slow motion.

petey....it's a banked 1/4, & a pretty fun place to see a race in my opinion. We took in an MSCS show early in the year up there, & it's definitely worth going back for!

He's not wearing gloves, however, lots of guys dont wear gloves...

You better take care of me, Lord. If you don't you're gonna have me on your hands.

A narrow little short 1/4 that is kind of hard to pass on . They used to water it with a honey wagon . Good idea to wear a bandanna . The Sandwich brothers are tough to beat there .
