Racers from all divisions took part in a very successful practice session last Sunday at the Big Diamond Speedway. It was a chance for teams and drivers to get some much-needed track time on the new clay surface that was put down over the winter. From all reports the track held up well and drivers were very pleased with the new Clay.
Returning to race Friday’s at Big Diamond on a regular basis this season, Insinger Performance Modified driver Brett Kressley had this to say about the new surface. “I liked it a lot. It was strange not having a cushion to lean on, but I think it has a lot of potential to be awesome. I was really impressed with it.”
