While the rain washed out Daryl’s planned Wednesday night practice, happily the sun shone down for the weekend events. The team had the car working well by Friday’s last practice, and the 66 had a strong qualifying, earning a top ten spot in Saturday’s feature. Saturday night’s 250-lapper was a more than 3-hour race, slowed by 21 cautions. Daryl did a great job avoiding the vast majority of the incidents, but unfortunately got caught up in three, one causing considerable right-side damage. Restarting at the back of the line-up each time, the team took the opportunity to keep tuning the car for better handling in response to the quickly dropping temperatures. Daryl climbed back through the pack for a great 9th place finish.
Join us for our next race, this Saturday night (August 14th) at Riverside International Speedway, Antigonish. Hope to see you there!
