HAMPTON, VA :: Drivers hit the track for the first time on Tuesday morning to shake their cars down and get a feel for the flat .396-mile oval at Langley Speedway. All but two drivers have been out on the track for short runs.
During the morning session, drivers Kenny Stewart and Sam Wright both spun in their runs. Most of the drivers worked on learning the track and getting around the racetrack around the bottom. For most of the drivers, it was their first time at Langley Speedway. Participants Sergio Pena, Annabeth Barnes and Jack Madrid have each logged hundreds of laps at the track prior to Tuesday. Pena, who used to compete at Shenandoah Speedway, won a NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race in 2011. Barnes and Madrid competed in the Hampton Heat 200. Meagan Creech, who is also participating in the combine, has also logged laps at the track.
Following lunch, drivers will return to the track for an afternoon session which will consist of longer runs.
