Comment From racema 

Sorry to miss you guys! Hope to see you at Caraway!!!
2:21
Park said he is “having a blast” and that he’s “never been on a flatter racetrack.” In fact, he said the quarter-mile here at CMS “feels like it is off-camber.”
2:19
Steve Park told us they had a flat left-rear tire in the first practice session.  They tried to put on a set of tires from his teammate LW Miller’s car, but that car uses a different off-set wheel.  So, Park’s crew bought a set of two-lap practice tires and wheels from Chris Dilbeck, who retired from competition due to a blown engine.
2:16
There is a 50% chance of precipitation tonight at CMS, but speedway officials say IF there is any rain, they will go as late into the evening as they can to get the race in.
2:15
Comment From BOBBY 

THANK YOU FOR COVERING.THE MODIFIEDS.HOW IS THE WEATHER FOR THIS EVENING
2:12
According to the consensus in the pit area, the four best cars in “race-trim” are GB3, Daniel Hemric, Tim Brown and Burt Myers.
2:10
Talked to point leader George Brunnhoelzl III and he told us, “We’re not as bad I thought we were.” All laughing aside, GB3 is noted as one of the best cars on the racetrack. “His car just has a much better run off the corner than we do,” said LW Miller. “They do every week; them and the 11 car (teammate Andy Seuss).”

The #10 Modified is battling a tight condition.

Jason Myers told us he thought he was done with practice, but he’s going to head back out one more time. “We’re gonna play with the right front shock. I don’t know if it’s going to make a difference, but we’ll try it. The car is honestly really good.”

Thomas Stinson is a low-buck racer who gets the most out of his equipment. He’s done with practice. He says he doesn’t have the money to keep putting tires on his Mod like the other competitors nor does he want to put too many laps on his engine. “We were 7th quick in practice; we’re good,” he says.

Frank Fleming had this to say about his spin, “I had to find out where the limit is. It stuck real good the corner before so I drove it in even deeper the next one. You get real brave when there are no walls (in the corners).”

We just spoke to Chris Dilbeck. He said the engine blew, but it was, “A lot of fun for a lap and a half.” The rod didn’t come out of the oil pan, but there is a big debt in it. He is done for the day.

Top Five in Practice 1: Brunnhoelzl, Hemric, Brown, Jason Myers, and Andy Seuss.
12:02
The quarter-mile track here at Charlotte was modeled after the quarter-mile track at Bowman Gray Stadium. However, this track is much wider then the track up in Winston-Salem, NC. We really see the drivers trying different lanes and lines going into the corners.
12:00
Dilbeck is at the bottom of the charts and has not yet come onto the track.

Comment From brent dilbeck 

did chris dilbeck get back out there? what happened to his car?
11:59
Jason Myers is having a good season and sits third in points coming into this race. Right now he’s moved up to the third spot here in practice.
11:58
George Brunnhoelzl III has gone to the P1 spot after only seven laps of action. Brunnhoelzl had a strong run going at Bowman Gray Stadium, another quarter-mile track, a few weeks back. It was a bump and run that ended his bid for a win that night. Today he’s the fastest so far.

Burt Myers lead all 150 laps here in 2010 and won the championship. Behind them all sorts of action took place as key players in the championship had trouble and found themselves looking at Myers in victory lane with two trophies.
11:36
Last year’s race was filled with drama as it decided the overall championship. Today would have been the season finale, but weather has pushed one date (a race at Caraway) to next Saturday.
11:35
Practice will be getting underway in a few minutes. 11:45am is the scheduled time as the Mods will hit the quarter-mile for the first time today.

We’ve had some periods of light mist this morning here at Charlotte.  Temperatures are in the upper-60’s right now and should get into the 70’s.  While the sprinkles dampened the track earlier, the sun is starting to poke out here, which should get the track dried up nicely in time for first NWSMT practice at 11:45am.
