James Dayson Blog: Lucas Oil Raceway
Oval racing – a very different beast indeed, yet a whole new challenge. This was my first foray on the “straight….straight, left & repeat.” I had tested on a 5/8 mile oval in November at Memphis International Raceway. We did two days there and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was very happy with how I drove and how quickly got adjusted to the new driving style. Read More

James Dayson St. Petersburg Blog Part II – St. Pete
Thanks to everyone who read Part I. I hope you enjoyed it and are looking forward to reading this next chapter.
St. Pete is one of my favourite tracks. For a street circuit it is so smooth, something which is uncommon. The weather is usually amazing and often has some rain thrown in to mix things up a little bit more. One of my most enjoyable aspects of the event is the crowd, a very knowledgeable yet passionate crowd that really embraces the event and the drivers. I always have a blast when I come here. The anticipation that has built to St. Petersburg is always awesome, especially since it is the season opener for my series and often IndyCar as well. Read More
