Coatesville, PA – July 16, 2016 –
The Chapman Auto Firecracker 40 for the Grandview Speedway NASCAR BRC
Late Models was delayed by rain by a week so Dan Green and the G & H
Motorsports team was able to make a minor change that we were going to
do for last week. The team headed to the track a little early for the
Low Down and Dirty Meet and Greet at Grandview before the racing got
started. The team gave away 4 RC NASCAR 1/24 scale cars to very happy
winners and Dan signed a lot of hero cards for the fans that stopped by.
Heat Race
The
racing order for the night was switched around a little so the Late
Models could run their race after intermission. Dan started in 4th in the second 8 Lap Heat Race, the first green was a no go as the #81 Chris Wojnar spun at the start/finish line. This put Dan 3rd
as Wojnar started on the pole. The next green Dan jumped to second
passing Drew Weisser #19. The race went green the rest of the way as Dan
followed Ron Kline #3 under the checker finishing second.
Team gets ready
As
the team had a little more time this week to get ready for the 40 lap
feature, we were able to take our time and get everything done that we
needed to do. Scott and Cathy Green, Jim Alexander, Phil Jelke, Michael
Wynne, Debbie Dutter, Jennifer O’Shea and Brett Higginbotham were in the
pits for the night. The team also welcomed our sponsor Linda and Dave
Deeney from Linda’s Hair Techniques as well as Dan’s cousins Kelly Green
Depew and her children visiting from Idaho and Lew Williams visiting
from Florida. They all really enjoyed cheering on Dan during the racing
action and the special events of the Firecracker 40 night.
Feature Event
For
the special event the track had driver introductions for the 21 drivers
that started the race! Dan buckled in the Hot Rod Processing #46 in 7th
starting spot. The cars had a few pace laps to wave American flags and
hand them to the officials to give to the kids in attendance. The green
was displayed and the #46 Scott Select NASCAR BRC Dirt Late Model just
never really got going as Dan tried different lines and was stuck in
some spots that allowed a couple cars to get by. On the ninth lap Dan
got high going around a lapped car and tagged the wall with the right
rear of the car. On lap 10 Dan slowed and the caution came out as Dan
drove to the pits with what he thought was a flat tire. The vibration
was caused by mud that had gone into the wheel area and once removed he
rejoined the field in 19th spot. The next 30 laps Dan tried to move forward and was able to get by a few cars and finish 11th
with a car that was just not perfect. Not the finish that the team would
have liked but we completed all 40 laps with an ill handling car after
the contact with the wall on lap 9.
Congratulations
