Cherokee Motorsports driver/owner Clayton Hardy has every reason to smile. In all three sessions, between practice and qualifying, he's been no lower than third. And an even better add on to that, he'll have his teammate and friend Behrris Windross starting nearby in 6th. When asked about the weekend, Clayton was all smiles. "We needed this, as a team, we desperately needed this. I needed this to really think I could do this. I feel great and I feel like I've got an incredible shot to bring home a maiden win." Hardy will line up on the grid in third for the race today behind the Honda duo of Stephanie Porter-Kelley and Camyron Jackson.
