David during the Pocono Raceway weekend
Well, I’m writing to you guys from Dover because our UPS team is up here for the Goodyear tire test. Today is our second day of the test and with the race at Pocono happening on Monday, we ended up driving straight here after the race to get up here for the test.
Our team has been running non-stop for about a week and we’ll finish up here today and head back to North Carolina for a little time at home before heading out for this weekend’s race at Watkins Glen tomorrow.
Pocono was a long weekend. But every time we go to Pocono, we know that there is a good chance of rain, so it wasn’t all that surprising that qualifying was cancelled again and the race got moved to Monday.
The one nice day of the weekend was Saturday. We had two practice sessions that ended in the early afternoon. After practice, I changed clothes and grabbed some lunch and then headed out to the golf course. Each year at the second Pocono race, the NASCAR Officials host a charity golf tournament. I played with my friend Nick, who also drives my motor home, and two guys I met last year when I went to a long-ball event. They live in New Jersey and made the drive over to come play with us. We had a really good time and did pretty well.
This weekend we get back to road racing. We had a really solid car at Infineon earlier this season, so I’m excited to go to The Glen. I’ve been working on my driving at road courses a lot over the past year, so I’m hoping that we’ll come away from there with a solid finish.
Well, it’s time to get back to testing. Thanks for checking out the site and we’ll talk with you guys next week.
