Race Report: I had a great time! I spent 2 days in the pits with David and Mark. Met Brian Herta, his father, Arie Jr and Sr, the team owners, everyone!! I had Arie Sr. tell me how impressed he was with David and Mark and the entire MSEP company. He said he and Jr will be doing "major PR" for the company over the next year plus.
As far as Herta, he had unbelievable bad luck. He pitted twice under green (had to because he was out of fuel) and a yellow came out within 1 minute both times. That cost him a top 3 finish.
Arie didn't have a great car, but stayed out of trouble and finished fourth. He wore a all black helmet in honour of his grandfather who just passed away. The only logos on it were Scalecars.com and DriversDigs.com. His race will be re-broadcast this week on ESPN2. Watch it or tape it, as it had a bunch of wild wrecks that Arie had to swerve around.
The entire weekend was great and solidified my opinion of MSEP. Anybody who doesn't ride this company for a while or own it at all is really missing out.
