  1. Great lineup.

    We need some luck with the weather.

    Of all those stats I thought the most interesting one is that Coby is the only driver currently in the top ten who has won a championship. I wonder if this has ever occurred before.

  3. Camerissa,
    It is an interesting stat. The last eight titles have been won by currently active drivers, with five by Coby, but the other three by now part-time drivers. Ryan Preece in 2013, Ron Silk in 2011 and Bobby Santos III in 2010.
