Yeah man, looks like he's in striking distance to get on the box Smile

He'll definitely be stronger late in the race than the Acuras and Mazdas.

This I know but depending on how things go tonight I'll probably be crashing at a buddy's place after drinking and won't make it home to set it before having to work tomorrow.

I met that driver 2-3 years ago at Mid-Ohio... he's just some Russian kid with a website and rich parents. His driving is nothing to write home about...

Victory By Design did the graphics...see the logo on the front right bumper. Very cool for Harrisonburg!
