The Redneck Wonder That Is the Southern 500 Comes Back......
Yep, it's race weekend here in the Pee Dee again. Southern 500 weekend !!! Of course, it didn't get off to a great start today. That was one heck of a storm, but it did wash all the crap off the track surface. All the drivers were complaining that the track was loose and sandy. Well, Darlington County is at the foot of the Sandhills - the track's bound to get dusty.
I used to be involved with race weekend a lot more when I worked for Enterprise in the 90's. The local jetport was my big hang out, and i got to see all the drivers and give them their rental cars..... and then spend all day Monday picking the cars back up! But being at Darlington Raceway before or during the race is one of those things that everyone in the Pee Dee should experience at least once. I've been to two races. The first was great, the second sucked. Remember in the early part of the decade, when it rained EVERY RACE? I caught one of them...
Hopefully, this year's race will have good weather, but we're no out of the woods yet. Tomorrow's forecast? Hazy, Hot and Humid, with a high of about 94 ... Yes, Summer has come to South Carolina. Do you have your own Darlington story? Feel free to share your story with us... My pick for winner? A guy who attacks a track like Darlington. No big surprise here - I'm going with Kyle Busch.....
