I was really looking forward to getting things going on Sunday for my first race, and I think our team had everyone ready to go when the command was given to fire the engines. After fellow Riley Chassis runner Pablo Donoso crashed in morning practice, the starting field was cut down to 11 of these new USAC Silver Crown cars. This pushed me up to the 8th starting spot right behind longtime USAC driver Dave Darland.
USAC did look at a few cars pretty hard over the weekend and didn't like some of what they were seeing. USAC also had to hand out different wheel nuts on Saturday because the angles on the old ones were wrong.

Today, we picked up some good speed from time we unloaded the car. We were still somewhat concerned about the new wheel and tire combinations for the USAC Silver Crown cars, and a few drivers crashed their primary cars searching for more speed. Right now we just have the one complete car, so we felt we should stay consistent but safe. I was running with Dave Steele and Bryan Tyler in practice, andcould close in on them if I wanted to.
I was pretty dissapointed with Qualifying, as we dropped nearly 3 tenths from our fastest time in practice prior to that. Not sure if the tire ...
