1:24pm … A couple of engine woes sidelining some drivers here earlier today including Joey Bryant, who we believe is trying to get another engine in the car and attempt to qualify later this evening. Second Practice is going on now and we will hopefully have some times for you shortly. Corey Latham has been out participating in the ARCA Hauler Parade so hopefully he’ll be back with something from his experience with that later this evening or tonight.
1:49pm … 25.565 Matt DiBenedetto, Clay Rogers, Clay Rogers, Matt McCall and Jamey Caudill ….hopefully we’ll get more times for you before qualifying, but we’re having trouble logging on to the UARA Timing.
3:22pm … Qualifying is coming up at 4:00pm and its been a tough day so far in the engine department as several cars have had trouble including Joey Bryant, who has borrowed an engine from Kyle Moon so that he’ll be able to compete in the race. Pre-race favorite, Caleb Holman is already headed home after having his engine expire as well as Concord driver, Chad Mullis. We have also heard of a few more troubles, but will have to check on those and will report on them later.
