Bobby Gerhart, an eight-time winner at Daytona Int’l Speedway, put up the fastest speed at Thursday’s ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards practice. Gerhart needed just ten laps to turn the fastest lap of the day.

Gerhart, in a Chevrolet, turned his best lap in 188.945 mph, just a tick better than Matt Kurzejewski, who was second fastest at 188.849 mph, also in a Chevrolet.

 
Arca.racing.com will provide live timing and scoring and audio of Friday’s practice and Menards Pole Qualifying presented by Ansell at 3:30 PM.
 
The Lucas Oil 200 presented by AutoZone will go green about 4:20 PM Saturday. The race will be aired live on Fox Sports 1, with an MRN-produced call of the race streamed on arcaracing.com.

ARCA still allows the Monte Carlo body to be run as long as it has an Impala sticker on it? The Gerhart cars have been quick for a few years now. :)

It'd be even faster if it still had the SkunkWorks sponsorship decal on the nose...

He just got caught up in a wreck, hope he's OK. That was a hard hit. And that's why girls shouldn't be racing.

Thanks to everyone for their emails and text messages.

Bobby is OK, had the wind knocked out of him and his shoulder and ribs are sore.

We are going to try the Xfinity race next Saturday; need to qualify our way in. We just did not have the right motor/gear set up yesterday. 

We will be back next year for the ARCA race...
