Drake "The Kid" Troutman

[CrankedUp90]

The Drake got used up pretty bad last night. Hopefully he doesn't get penalized for exiting his car and walking out onto the track.

Yes he did. First by Winger, then Gardner..

He is easily one of the best young talents in dirt late model racing right now and I believe he is only going to get better over time. That first major win is quickly becoming long overdue for Drake and the team.

I’m not saying he didn’t get knocked around a bit, but my first thought when I saw the racing there…the track isn’t well lit and that black car with no graphics….I’ve done a bit of dirt track racing in my day…that car is hard to see. I’m not saying that’s why he got knocked around I’m saying it’s not safe if he gets knocked sideways or something he’s going to get a door job and I do not want to see that happen. It’s not easy to see a black car in the heat of battle in a crowd like that. All black and no bling on there to catch your attention.

^^ That’s a very good point! I hadn’t even thought of that and I raced myself 40 years ago age 18-24.
