Boston — San Marcos driver Cary Stapp got to live out his dream Wednesday, as he auditioned for Joe Gibbs Racing at South Boston Speedway.
Stapp earned the honor by winning the ASA national points title and he did well. According to his on-line blog, it only took him a few laps to find his groove, but Stapp turned in lap times between 16.00 and 16.20 seconds on the 4/10-mile track.
According to Gibbs’ personnel, Marc Davis, who races for Gibbs Racing on in the NASCAR Camping World series, posted times between 16.20 and 16.40.
Stapp’s times were on 20-lap intervals and on the same tires, driving in 24-degree weather.
Stapp ran two different cars, and said he felt like the second one felt better but ran slower. Stapp claimed driving the bigger and heavier cars on track he had never seen before was an experience in itself.
The day before, Stapp met with officials from Joe Gibbs Racing, including Gibbs himself and got to take a detailed tour of the entire operation.
