Was I the only one to notice it last nite? DC had both front wheels off the ground in turns 1&2 it was simply a beautiful thing to witness a car that hooked up. The MDC needs deserves to have luck go the other way for him. I truly hope he gets her back together for saturdays show at the Burg it should be a classic.

It certainly was great to see him back in the 92 and as usual he did not disappoint.

He said he'll be at L'Burg next Sat. guys. Kick some ass DC!

That 92 car is something special. He was running a line that nobody else was using and his car was really turning well in the corner and letting him get off the corner better than anyone alse all night. He had the field covered but the motor let him down.

I will gladly pay $20 just to see him race. He is the most exciting driver to watch. I look forward to seeing him at L'burg next Sat. Go DC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I so looked forward to seeing Clayton @ Calistoga over the Labor Day weekend. He had a good ride, Crossno #83, but they had engine problems the whole weekend. Again I am looking forward to seeing this young man @ the PAS for the Oval Nationals. Hope he makes it out. :Steer

I had been talking D.C. at Haubstadt up for almost 2 years to my racing buddies. Since its a 4 hour drive they had never come with me until this weekend. Boy did he not disappoint!! Watching Daron at Haubstadt is one of the most electric things in sprint car racing. I don't know if its the tightness of the track or what, but it suits him better than any of the other 7 or 8 tracks I have seen him on. Its hard to not watch just him although there is usually great racing all over the track. Just hope the COWBOY has a new bullet for this week-end.

DC is always fun to watch anywhere but he is at his absolute best at Haubstadt. Daron and Tri-State just seem to be a good fit. His first 10 laps in the A-main in the first $10,000 to win haubstadt race this year were the the best I have ever seen. I have never seen anyone drive that hard!

We have been fans for several years but it seems like he picks up new fans every race.

Every race we go to our son always asks if Daron Clayton will be there. Sam is Daron biggest fan.

I enjoy watching him,but I also like is attitude towards the fans. I saw him after Tri-state. And even after what happen he still stuck around and talk to his fans.

There are four lines on the race track when Daron shows up... Of course, there's the three normal lines: Low, Middle, and High/Cushion... then there's the Cowboy line, especially at Tri-State :applaud:
