Darlington Raceway got its unique egg shape as part of a deal where the builder would not disturb the minnow pond you see in the top left of the image. After this week, said pond is WAY WAY WAY more full.

The track was dried Wednesday evening before the race. Not sure how they were able to do so – there were no fans allowed! LOL Oh dear sweet lord I am sorry about this.

OK, so the gentleman you’re looking at is probably not going to win Most Popular Driver … primarily because of what happened with him and the guy who WILL win Most Popular Driver.
