ICYMI ⬆️ @TheFast49's ventured outside his usual baseline package ahead of his quest for a fourth straight #DLMDream — which begins with Friday's prelim.
He's still trying to acclimate to the new RR tire rule at Eldora & across the national tours in 2026.
His Dreams from '23-25 were on the old-style RR, which was officially phased out at the national level last week of April. Another wrinkle at Eldora to keep tabs on.
"If this place don't give you nerves, you're doing the wrong thing." 😅
@TheFast49 may be a four-time #DLMDream winner, but pulling into @EldoraSpeedway still gives him a feeling unlike any other.
He chatted with @BPaulRacing prior to his prelim night 👇
“Hopefully he can give us a run for our money somewhere else” 😂😂😂 @TheFast49 said “We’ll fix it, come from the back, and outrun y’all tonight in the same car you wrecked us in..” They don’t call him Superman for nothing!
4 all the sensitive folks I apologize for using the R word tonight in my interview at the time with the adrenaline still pumping I couldn’t think of a better adjective. #JD’sIroningService
