“Daytona: World’s Largest Clay Track!”
Hey, if it lost the plates, I am all for it.
For the Brad K. haters
Brad K. said in a interview that this was his 1st time on dirt. With that in mind.
How did you do on your 1st time on dirt?
He is not like the cookies from the NASCAR cookie cutter.
His racing family is old school and his dad raced on a shoestring budget so Brad did not come up the ranks because of family money, which everyone claims on here is what has ruin NASCAR or just plain racing.
The Captain thinks is good enough to race for him.

What he said!
I have to agree with Phil Jaques on the track conditions. When I watched the time trials I thought the track might become extremely dry slick. Instead it provided multiple grooves and excellent racing. While not a BK fan I thought he did as well as could be expected. Not only does he lack dirt seat time it had to be extremely hard for him to communicate with his crew about handling etc. Compared to regular NASCAR they can’t be compared as one is racing while the other is simply driving. Schraders heat race was worth the price of admission. Kudos to Tony for the facility and NASCAR for letting it happen. Now if they will put clay on Bristol like they did for the outlaws they could fill that place up again. To make it more cost effective run all three series in one weekend.

I didn’t care for the way they handled the “last-chance” race and the last five starters, though…they only took the top two from the consi, and the other five starters from “owners’ points” - of which I don’t think any of those trucks have had any other starts this year (maybe JJC did, but I can’t/haven’t watched the Trucks on TV this year).
As far as the multiple groove racing for the feature: Tony went out on the track in “The Beast” and worked the track in, between the Late Model feature and the Truck feature. They watered it, went out and packed it, and Tony ran this thing around on the bottom and middle grooves. This thing is HUGE:
What he said. LOL!
