Curt Britt is a former racer and Truck owner in the GMP Truck division who got into a truck he built for fellow Georgia racer Rodney Benefield today and went to victory lane.  There, Britt became emotional.

 

“It’s my birthday today,” said Britt in victory lane.  “I told Rodney and Charles (Benefield) that I really wanted to at least race one more time.  I built this truck to go to the Snowball Derby last year.  I put my heart and soul into this thing.  Before this weekend I had only driven it about seven or eight laps.  It means a lot to win a race that I put this much into and see what it’s capable of.”

Britt’s Truck features a special autism awareness paint scheme.

“My son has autism.  It can be difficult at times.  This is to be able to come out and do this allows you to get a clear mind and a clear focus.  I need to be a better dad, to be honest with you.  Rodney’s son suffers from some things as well as autism, so we put this scheme on there.”

Bubba Pollard on getting knocked off by the last car in qualifying from what would have been his fourth SSS pole of the season…

“He got that cloud and that was enough,” said Pollard. “It’s alright though. We were real good in race trim.”
6:30
“We were out on a mock run and I had to try to miss the 54 car (Matt Craig) in practice and still ran a 0 (17.000-second lap), so I thought we could be pretty good,” said Grissom of his quick time. “We got that cloud and it really helped.”

There will be a maximum of two attempts at a green-white-checkered restart.

It’s a 12 tire race, the four that the cars qualify and start the race on, plus two more sets. Those are the only tires allowed in a pit stall tonight.

DRIVERS MEETING NOTES

While it’s warm and dry here at GMP for the time being, drivers have had an eye in the sky throughout the day. Track General Manager John Close told drivers that the chance of precipitation is rapidly declining, so all systems are go for tonight’s race.

Yesterday, thunderstorms delayed the start of practice, but once the rain halted, track officials were able to get the track dried in one hour and 10 minutes.

“Whatever weather we may get, we will work through it,” Close said in the drivers meeting. “If we get weather, we will adjust the schedule accordingly.”

Close then was quick to point out again that the chance of rain is declining for today’s event, which is good news for everyone.
