Sept. 9, 2024, Salt Lake City — Earning a National Championship takes perseverance, some luck and waking up before dawn to make sure the racecar is ready. The racers have run practice sessions, a qualifier and qualifying race culminating Sunday in the Championships.

Drivers who lay down a scorcher of a lap in the morning usually set themselves up to be in the best grid position possible. (more…)
