Darlington, South Carolina. The Track to Tough to Tame. The Lady in Black. Lots of nicknames for this track that is famous for delivering "the Darlington Stripe" on nearly every car. This is a very fast track that slings the cars into the wall out of turn 1 into turn 2. Many a car will get "pancaked" on the right side. Already we've had 20 stripes laid down in cup alone, with 3 going to back up cars. Drivers love this track and the competition is always exciting.
On a side note, we were booked to stay at America's Best Value Inn this weekend. As we drove up there were two cars in the parking lots, both with flat tires. The pool had no water, but was full of bags of trash. The 3 vending machines in the lobby all had "Out of Order" on them, along with debris and lighting fixtures strewn about the lobby. Kind of a scary place. Well, they ended up moving us all to different hotels once they found out that there were 6 separate police incidents in the last 6 months.
We moved to the Residence Inn...nice.
Rain is here off and on all weekend, so we'll see what gets in and what doesn't...qualifying today looks like it may be a wash out.
In case I don't get to update tomorrow, my predictions are:
3). Mark Martin
2). Jeff Gordon
1). Denny Hamlin
Have a great day!
