WINDOM FASTEST IN WINTER DIRT GAMES PRACTICE

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media

Ocala, Florida………Reigning USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Champion Chris Windom led all 30 drivers in Wednesday night's “Winter Dirt Games 9” practice at Bubba Raceway Park after recording the fastest overall lap of the night at the 3/8-mile D-shaped oval.

Windom, of Canton, Illinois, put his Baldwin Brothers Racing machine right at the top of the leaderboard with an unofficial lap of 13.601, which was under the existing one-lap track record of 13.683, set by Justin Grant during qualifying one year ago.  Windom was followed by Dave Darland (13.671), Kevin Thomas, Jr. (13.700), Justin Grant (13.784) and Jarett Andretti (13.817) in the open practice.

Also of note, in the numerical oddity department, four drivers: Nick Bilbee (10th), Timmy Buckwalter (11th), Isaac Chapple (12th) and Mario Clouser (13th) all recorded identical times of 14.013 seconds!

“Winter Dirt Games” continues the next three nights on Thursday, Friday and Saturday Feb. 15-16-17.  Cars hit the track at 6:30pm ET on both Thursday and Friday while Saturday begins at 5:30.  Live coverage of each night of racing is available via pay-per-view on http://www.SpeedShiftTV.com/.  On-demand coverage of all three nights of racing will be available for viewing the day following the event on http://www.Loudpedal.TV/.
