IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Davin Scites was one
of the first drivers to go out for qualifying. On his first qualifying lap
the car was very loose. On the second lap the 43
Wayne Lumber & Mulch-McCoy
Freightliner
car spun out from turn three
all the way to the front stretch thru the grass. Davin kept it off the wall
but only got one lap of qualifying in. “As the sun went down the speeds
picked up dramatically. It was the luck of the draw. When we went out the
sun was out, but as qualifying progressed the others starting picking up
speed. On the second lap I had it turned sideway and kept giving it the gas
to keep it off the wall. It sure was exciting. I wish we could have gotten
our second lap though." Commented Scites. Davin Scites qualified
29th quickest. “We flat spotted our tires in qualifying. At the beginning
of the race ARCA let us change our tires, but we had to start at the tail of
the longest line.” “It was exciting being
on a big track, having to start from the tail you see the whole field of
cars in front of you. It was a blast starting from the back and passing
cars. I was having so much fun racing I forgot I had my water bottle in
there.” “The Crew kept
preaching to me on the radio, we know
we have a fast car just keep it in one piece and well get this done.
I knew we had a good car, I was real
cautious at the start of the race. I knew patience was going to get us
where we needed to be. Chevy White, my crew chief, made some good calls in
the pits. We started off real tight and adjusted on it with tire
pressure. At the end the car was better on the long runs.” . As soon as the race
started Davin Scites started moving forward. “Once we had moved up
we had planed on coming in, but we had gained so much track position that we
stayed out with the leaders to be on the same pit sequence as they were.” “I started with a
rookie strip on my back with the restarts. You had to be careful not to
spin the tires. On the first couple of restarts I had lost some positions,
but once I figured out how deep I could take it in it was great.” “Chevy made a good call
to stay out. But it turned into quite the nail bitter. Chevy told me I
needed to start conserving fuel. I started watching my fuel pressure, I was
tight so I wasn't using very much gas because cause I couldn’t get back on
the gas too fast.” “We were getting ready
to run out of gas and sure enough we got a caution. We really got a lucky
break with the caution flag.” Davin came in for tires
and gas. Davin Scites rocketed through the field and found himself in third
place. With 3 laps to go Joey Miller got into Davin, but Davin saved it and
came back to finish 6th in his first ever ARCA Remax Race.
