SCRAM 1960: Race 1
The Southern 500 from the Southern Super Speedway
Race Results and Current Standings:
I arbitrarily picked the #42 Chevy and driver Boyce Daly as the CS Motorsports team for this series, and the pre-race activities resulted in Daly and the #42 getting suspended for 2 races because officials discovered “out-of-tolerance” engine adjustments on the car.
I’m guessing that this will ruin his chances at the championship. Ah well.
Next up: the EverSport Outdoor 301 @ Gulf Coast Speedway.
Stay tuned!
