A driver shows up with not a lot of experience and then first night out he's starting in front of some of the best drivers in Indiana. In many cases the guys drive right around him with no issues but I've seen many crashes happen during heat races because the field got all bunched up at the start.
The good news is they are qualifying tonight so the #1 pill isn't that big of an issue. I wish your friend good luck in his first nonwing race!
I hope everyone enjoys the race tonight!! Thanks for whatever updates you can provide... I will be following closely.
Bill, Can't this guy opt to start on the tail if he is not comfortable w/ his start position?
This guy is not new to sprint cars as he has been a regular a in the MSA 360 winged series in WI. He has limited non winged experience. Good luck to the 15m.
