not looking good for Hailie Deegan to begin her first full-time Xfinity Series season today .... just checked the forecast for the Daytona Speedway, 80+% chance of solid rain from now through midnight
At least I will have some motorsport to watch, our Aus racing season kicks off today with a 12hr GT3 race at Bathurst, Supercars at the same track next weekend with the 500.
Plenty of international drivers including former motorcycle world champ Valentino Rossi back for another go and about 10 supercars drivers competing
It is the track and a Mclaren GT3 he raced there is the car that is SVG's choice if he could only race one track and car for the rest of his life.
SVG's ARCA debut was a bit of a disappointment, with pack qualifying he was slow off pit lane and never got in the draft. Ended up with only the 35th time and missed qualifying by one place on speed and then missed by one place on owner points.
Got a late call up with a withdrawal and then out early in a big one, was already running mid pack in a few laps. Did everything right checked up, kept it straight looked like he would make it through and got drilled from behind. First ARCA race I have watched and level of the drivers is a bit underwhelming. Looked to be plenty of avoidable incidents hopefully the Xfinity drivers are a step up in experience.
He posted the 12th time in Xfinity practice, about what I was expecting, dont think he will have an issue with raw speed just getting used to pack racing on ovals that might take some time.
