WHAT AN EXCITING RACE!!!

Hershel was put a lap down due to a car modification prior to the race (had to change carb) but after a few laps he got the first Lucky Dog. The bad news is the pace car did not allow him to get his entire lap back before the next green flag. But already after 12 laps Hershel is back up to 17th place and all this while they are seting record lap times at PIR!!!


EDIT; Now under yellow and Hershel is up to 13th!

EDIT; After Hershel became down a lap he get's his 2nd lucky dog.

Awesome Day For Hershel McGriff !

Like I told a friend, I bet when Hershel got to Portland International Raceway he looked around at the track and said, "Honey, I'm home." This has simply got to be overwhelming for Hershel as well as his family and close friends not to mention his fans. With out a doubt it gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Going Full Circle". Can you believe it; Hershel won the very first NASCAR race here before most (if not all) of the other drivers in this weekends event were even born.

As best I could I watched Hershel run his NASCAR West practice laps today at Portland International Raceway by watching it on http://www.pirlive.com/ and an awesome practice session it was. Hershel finished 16th overall and looked super doing it. Tomorrow Hershel will qualify for the BI-MART Salute to the Troops “125″ Race at 11:00am then his race will begin at 2:00pm. This event is one of three that Hershel will be running in the NASCAR Camping World Series.


GO HERSHEL DAMMIT GO!!!!!!
