670HP #Soon

Staff member Matt Holden posted in the forums what may be coming up leading up to the Daytona 500

You said there are no changes, that’s not true. The gen 6 is a known entity and directly mirrors how the Nextgen works, and that car is currently being changed to the 2022 spec, so if it works on the Gen 6 then it will work on the Nextgen car as well. Also, within the group we put together through the 2021 discussion, there are multiple leagues running Gen 6 superspeedway races in the coming weeks where we can see the changes at work and update what is needed.

Saying nothing has changed is completely false, we’ve been working on this for months, but as I said in that discussion topic we were going to take it off the forum because we had all we needed to move forward and can work in a controlled environment to push things forward

League / Hosted Races

  • FastTrack League
  1. Mike – wrecked out- Well the track is Rockingham and I wrecked out but basically missed the corner going into the third one didn’t hit the right breaking mark and ran into the car in the outside lane putting us both in the wall. 
  • Winter League New Hampshire 
    1. Ellis – p24. Miss practice and qualifying showed up on the grid, literally pretty much ran what I had I got screwed on a wave around it was two laps down. 

Hall –  p 12.   Wasn’t fast.  Stole a few spots cause some guys chose to pit and race for the lucky dog prize money, I took wave around and got back on lead lap.

  • OBRL ARCA Series 
    1. Brian-.Lucas Oil P6 Not a bad result for a new track
  • OBRL Aftermath Truck Series 
  • Git R Done Racing 

Tyler P-4. Did not qualify but ran pretty well early on. Worked the out strategy out to putting every 50 laps as we had 4 sets total including what we started with. Had a great time racing Stephen and Chris. Brian was a huge help at the end spotting. Just happy to run well and finish Bristol with 0x.
