Unfortunately, I'll miss it. Am up North and won't be back in time. Would have liked to have seen it.

A Podium finish overall in a field of 45 cars,

All that hard work has paid off. Congratulations! I know it had to be boiling in that car all day yesterday. It was in the mid 90's in my neck of the woods.
How about a short summary of the race from someone who was there?

Watched the NASCAR race at Charlotte yesterday and found that the line I was taking through 3 and 4 is the same line many of them used. We were going through there at about 130 and NASCAR drivers were taking it in low 160's. That's surprising close considering the horsepower differential: 130 vs 800
