Post-Race Wrap Up: Veteran Car Racer Bob Faiella Sr.

Here is a post-race follow up from lead Team 1-800-DRY-ME-OUT driver Rob Faiella on the results from the Saturday, November 17, 2012 race.  The race was to be a historic race where Rob Faiella Jr. would race against his father and veteran car racer, Bob Faiella Sr.

Unfortunately the Sr. vs Jr. battle didn’t happen. The #13 broke a valve in practice so we only had car #15 to send into battle. With this being a 50-lap $500 race, there were a lot of cars that showed up. 27 to be exact. 24 cars took time trials and Bob Faiella Sr. timed in in 6th position.

To make it more interesting the race promoter decided to invert the top 14 cars and this relegated Bob back to a 10th place starting spot.

Bob took the green on the outside of row #5 knowing that he would be hung out there until he could get to the inside. A couple cars decided to go 3-wide in the first turn and the #15 would find it self sitting backwards in the first turn of the first lap.
