    From 10th on a track that there wasn't much passing on I believe for the most part. Even Marlar was kinda surprised.

      If he spanks them, you know for sure the woo-tang clan will say he did not meet benchmark ......should be interesting.

      Would be cool to see him win it by a straightaway.
      Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

          I know.....wish they weren't so scared of outside competition.

          And I'm not talking about the woo drivers being scared.

            I follow you completely. I hope he whips them, but dang, I wish he'd have bragged on his driving and not his car. No need for a bullseye in this crooked sport.

              googled this guy....found some pics of the side of the car, without skin, that shows how the rear is set up..IM no technical person but it sure looks different then the other guys setups. (Fayetteville 2019) Might just be the hardware....?

                      He has shirts and hats at his hauler. AK Racing. They say....Why would you pay to play when you can change the game. I like his enthusiasm and his mysterious chassis. Somebody trying to shake things up a bit and step up the game. I applaud this guy and his crew for going for it 👍

                          I’m pretty sure he qualified eighth in group a. He started 4th in second heat

                              Sometimes with new prototype race cars, there are inherent issues or part problems. Last night there was a major unforeseen problem with a part. The crew is working feverishly to beat on, torque, manipulate and anything else they can think to do so to fix the nut behind the wheel and will make sure said nut wears his jock strap so he doesn't step on his. . . Well you get the idea.

                                The nut behind the wheel, although he took no credit at all for winning at Cherokee a month ago, can get the job done. To beat Overton at any track, much less at Cherokee, is quite a task, and the nut behind the wheel can't be too loose if he can get that job done. Even if he gets it done just once.
