The Daytona 400k @Daytona [100L]

Thursday, July 17th, the Proline Cup Series heads to Daytona International Speedway once again for the 12th season! Many new faces have joined the Proline Cup Series and the competition is expected to be as tough as ever.

Last week in the Solstice All-Star Race we saw an exciting race between Season 11 champion Ryan Williams and Kyle Riley as well as Matt Emerson and Brian Mercurio. Kyle Riley, who has joined the FOM team, brought home the victory in spectacular fashion over Williams.

At Daytona this week, we expect nothing but great superspeedway racing. Expect the team of Big Evil Racing to have the strongest cars as drivers Chad Mikosz, Brandon Lambert, Jeffery Stanton, and Nick Baker will be planning on continuing their superspeedway dominance. Also don't count out Justin Mellilo and Kevin McAdams as they put on a dominant performance at Talladega last season. Also watch out for the newly reformed Flat-Out Motorsports team with drivers Matt Emerson, Kyle Riley, Josh Chin, Cody Erdmann, and Caleb Paul.

We hope to see everyone come out and put on a great show!


-NOTE TO ROOKIE DRIVERS (YELLOW NAMES)-

YOU MUST run the Dash Series race the night before in a clean way to be approved to run the Firecracker 400k and there is no exceptions.

Race Schedule

Practice- 8:00est
Open Qualifying- 8:55 est
Race: 9:10

Just let people know, This has alot of Polygons.

Drivers not approved to race:

- Devin Thomas
- Doug DeNise
- Kyle Slaughter
- Jesse Klein
- Rashaun Wilson
- Steve Rada

Reasons include causing of accidents in either (or both) retro and dash races, plows, and/or not wanting to take a risk on it tonight. We are set-out and have made it clear in rule changes that we are going to be alot more strict with the enforcement of rules especially dealing with the cup series. Just because your name is not up here that doesn't mean you are guaranteed a start. If you show your worth in practice and cause accidents there you'll be out as well.

Sorry to all not approved, this was a global admin decision. Try again next week.

IMPORTANT TRACK INFO:

For tonight's race, we will still be using the same track as last night. To make sure you don't have any issues with polygons and dying graphics, copy the 3 3dos from the frame saving folder included with the track. We've done some testing offline and the frame saving 3dos seem to have completely fixed any issues we saw last night.

I'm going to need a provisonal tonight if I can't find a sub.

Perhaps it's not my place to be talking since I have a rookie license, but here's some words of advice and perhaps something that should be addressed during the drivers' meeting, because I saw this a lot this week: The third car in line should NOT be bump-drafting.

Hope we can get a good race in tonight, gentlemen.

No broadcast tonight apparently since it sounds like cars can be submitted prior to start of q?

also, replay will be on the proline file browser eventually, used the 2012 version.

Good win Chin. Was wanting to get to the outside line on the 2nd or 3rd to last run but the bottom line was checking up like crazy. Hope I am able to run Phoenix next week but I don't know pending on what happens with my left leg.

Wow, no high line at all tonight. Kind of boring until the end. Kept getting pinched the last 25 laps by the #3. He better be glad I didn't hook his ass, next time not going to be that nice. Just blah some ole shit I guess... Off to better racing I hope now.

GW Chin.

I enjoyed the race tonight; thanks for letting me race. Sorry to everyone about causing the crash during stops, guys. Hope no one hate me too much.

Flat Out Motorsports 2 for 2 awwwww yeah.

GW Chin

Alright Cody it's me or you this time to win next week lol

Well, I don't think I've ever had such an exciting battle for 23rd on that last green flag run. We had some awesome green flag runs during that race, and I just got caught off guard by a poorly timed yellow, and I then I spent the last half or so of the race battling Ryan for the lucky dog spot. Even then neither of us got it.

Awesome race, and a lot of good driving tonight. Good win, Chin. I apologize to the 97, I'm sorry I got into you, there was just a bad checkup.

WOOOOOOOOOO FINALLY GOT A PROLINE DAYTONA WIN

GW Chin.

If you were leading the high line, you had to side draft. That was the only way to help pull the line forward considering how little help we had all night. If people had done something other than ride the bottom, I wouldn't have to drive has hard as I did. That's racing pal. Sorry you feel that way.

See you in Phoenix.

Is this race going to be broadcasted on tape delay or something, by the way?
