California!

The #01 Johnny Davis Motorsports Nationwide Series Chevy finished 27th in California Saturday night with Danny Efland aboard. After qualifying 39th with only 16 laps of practice, learning the track was left to the actual race. But learning was quick! By lap 50 Danny had progressed to 29th place and was feeling more and more comfortable in the draft at speeds approaching 200 miles per hour.

"We lost 4 laps in the first half of the race," said Danny "but only one more in the entire 2nd half. I passed the #28 car on the last lap to beat everyone on my lap. It would have been cool to run further as I was really beginning to feel comfortable. It will be great to come back to some of these tracks for a second time and actually even know what they look like!"

Danny and the team will arrive home Sunday night, the hauler arrives Tuesday and leaves with the Richmond cars on Wednesday night.

See you at the races!

PS Thanks to Sonja and Mick for the extra set of new tires - they made a difference on that last run where we gained 2 positions.
