Davin Wins the Greater Valley Insurance 150 at
Motormile
August
4, 2007 - Radford, VA - The day started our hot with temperatures soaring
at Motormile as Davin Scites took to the track for the two short practices early
in the day. "The car felt good for being as hot as it was. The track was hot and
slick. We went out second to Qualify for the Greater Valley Insurance 150. On my
first lap the car felt good we ran a 16.05 and the second lap would have been
better but I over drove the car driving into turn three. That made our second
lap worse than our first lap. "We ended up qualifying 7th for the 150 lap race."
"I knew we had a good car and with the race being a 150 lap race, there was time
to get to the front." When the race started, Scites started passing cars and
heading to the front. There were very few cautions scattered throughout the
race. But when Scites got to second place, the team caught a break and a caution
came out putting them on the bumper of the 26 car.
"When the race resumed, it took a couple of laps but I could see the 26 car
breaking loose and that is what we needed to pass him. On lap 79 we took the
lead and kept it going on to win the Grater Valley Insurance 150."

Speedway Harley-Davidson 150 (6-8-07)
Practice-
This was the first race we had our new Sponsor
ALLSTATE INSURANCE on our Chevy Monte Carlos SS. First thing I noticed at
Stafford was its unique line through one and two. There was a diamond which took
you about eight feet from the apex. When on the track our times were never bad
we just struggled to gain consistency in the chassis. With several laps and a
lot of feedback from our crew we made what we felt were good adjustments for
Race and Qualify.

From His Friends

After having an over heating problem with the engine the weekend before, we
took the car for testing on Friday only to
find that we still had an overheating problem. tested the car on Friday and
was still over heating, "With the help of my friend Forster Fry, we worked
until 2 in the morning repairing the engine for
Saturdays race at Motormile. When we arrived at Motormlle and went out for
our first practice, we found out that the engine problem was worse then we
thought. Our day was pretty much done.
As we were about to load the car up to head back home Dale Jr's teams - JR
Motorsports - offered us their backup engine. So as they were qualifying we
began work on the 06. My crew - Alan
Rohrig, Brian Lewis, Jack Scites and Forster Fry along with Jamie Caudill's
crew and Jr Motorsports Crew, were able to pull our engine out and install
the other engine.
We had to go to the back of the field since we did not get to qualify. Their
was 34 cars at Motormile Saturday night so we knew the night was going to be
filled with cautions. We worked our way
to the front keeping the 06 clean. With no practice we fought a very tight
race car but I was glad to get another top ten. Thanks to JR Motorsports and
everyone that helped Saturday night get us
back on the track.

Kentucky 150 - Hernandez Finishes 6th in his
first ARCA Race
(5-12-2007) - RACE REPORT
Practice
Right out of the box we start focusing on race trim. We found a consistent
balance before we decided to try and make a few qualifying runs. We found our
race trim to be competitive and with that done it was off for my first ever
qualifying run at speed.
It’s amazing what a little
tape does; you want to talk about feeling like superman behind the wheel, this
will do it. I noticed the difference getting up to speed, nose pinned, car down
in the track, and glued. First attempt puts us seventh on the board. As we
prepared for a second run to make some adjustments an accident on the track
happens and with that the conclusion of practice.

VA - Davin Scites is off to a blazing start this season after
claiming the checkered flag in the first of two Late Model Stock Car races

"We started on the pole for the first race. The night was cold so the tires
did not have a lot of heat in them. At the start of the race the car slipped up the
track hanging me on the outside. It felt like a hundred cars went by on the
inside before I could move back down. At that point we were in fifth. About
lap 20 the car started coming to life and we started working our way back to
the front."

NEWGreased
Lighting 150 4/29/07 - RACE REPORT
Practice
We
unloaded with an untested car. Not really worried…but with the limited practice
time given and the extensive trips through the tech line we found ourselves
struggling. Our Waste Management Monte Carlo SS was tight all practice and even
when making big changes we could not get away from our problem. As we had done
in our Phoenix race…we made more calculated changes to improve our chassis and
went off to qualify. Unfortunately for our situation, we drew early to qualify
which made matters that much worse. In qualifying for the Greased Lighting 150,
twenty six cars were taken in on time with four provisional starting positions.
I did the best I could anticipating the chassis changes and trying to lay down a
lap that would lock us in to the show.
