Today’s
weather was humid and unpredictable.
The skies looked threatening all day and rain would fall for short
intervals. Later in the afternoon, Mother Nature finally decided
that racing would roar at Old Dominion Speedway. Fan appreciation
night had race fans on their feet while being treated to a night
of excitement from all divisions. Simply said; it was a Short
track racing experience and a fan/thrill seekers paradise.
The veteran Mike Carte in the #44 car would shine as he lead 19 laps of tonight’s 30 lap shootout. He would then be passed by the #00 and Dave in the #34 Daniels Auto Care Ford Fusion. The #00 and #34 put on quite a show as they circled the asphalt in a bid for the win. On lap 26 the two cars would race hard down the front straight-a-way and contact was made between turns one and two. The race remained green and Dave would lead the remaining laps and take the checkers for tonight’s event.
The #00 and Dave’s #34 were very closely matched in qualifying with only 100th of a second separating the two of them. The #00 qualified at 17.46 and was tonight’s pole sitter. Dave qualified at 17.47 which made him tonight’s second quickest in his division.
