Mike Marlar winning quote
“You know your tires are going to get cold and the track bleeds, things happen cautiously. That’s usually a good thing, especially if you’re in the lead, it gives you a clean track,” Marlar said. drive these cars on such a fine line for every little thing you do there, adjusting the brakes. It’s cool that the John Bradshaw Memorial has gotten as big as it needs to be, I came here to run when they first dubbed it, it was $5,000 to be won.
