Looking back on Daytona

Well, we got home from Daytona early Sunday morning. It wasn’t exactly the finish we were hoping for, but man those guys worked their butts off to get the car back in order to get some more points. So, I get a night at home and then we head west on Monday. The trip from Charlotte Motor Speedway to California Speedway is 2,445 miles. My co-driver Greg and I will take the southern route (route 85 to 20 to 10) to get out there. This time of year, you just never know what the weather is going to bring and it just makes sense to do that. We really don’t stop a whole lot, just each take our turns in the pilot’s seat.

Eddie and the guys will switch out the Con-way Freight cars at California and Greg and I will just stay out on the west coast while they all go back to the shop in North Carolina. That will give us some time to clean up, get groceries and just get the hauler ready for when the guys come back the following Thursday. We’ve even talked about going fishing for a few days which sounds like a good time to me.

Well, I hope you all have a good week and safe travels. If you ever see the black No. 16 Con-way Freight hauler coming though, feel free to give me a shout.
