I finally understand why Greg Biffle never forgot where he came from.
Tri-City Raceway is one of those places I had heard about for years, seen photos of, and mentally added to my non-existent bucket list of racetracks.
Wednesday morning, the race phone rings.
Quinn Davis Racing was heading west for the ARCA Menards Racing Series West NAPA Auto Care 150 – Greg Biffle Memorial at Tri-City Raceway.
By 5 PM, flights were booked, and the adventure to Washington was officially underway.
I thought after the Nashville Superspeedway, I had crossed the finish line on my crazy goal of covering eight race weekends in ten weeks.
Apparently, racing had other plans.
The first time walking into Tri-City, my reaction was pretty simple…
WTF am I looking at?
Everyone calls Pocono Raceway the Tricky Triangle, but Tri-City is its own animal. Photos and videos do not truly show how unique this place is. The different lines, slight elevation changes, and areas of the track that challenge drivers make it unlike anywhere I have been.
Quinn was back behind the wheel of the Performance P-1 Motorsports #77 with City Garage Motorsports Crew Chief Ryan Bell along to help.
Friday practice threw the team another challenge with a rear seal issue, but the team went to work and had the car ready for Saturday.
Before Quinn went on track, I was able to introduce Quinn and Ryan to local favorite Mike Zamora, who shared years of Tri-City knowledge about the track, setup, and racing lines.
Sometimes racing has a funny way of putting people back in your path exactly when you need it.
With the car repaired, Quinn got much-needed practice laps, continued gaining speed, and qualified P14.
Unfortunately, her night ended early when the engine retired on lap 25.
The field itself was stacked, including Jade Avedisian, Mia Lovell, and Hailie Deegan, making for a strong showing of talented female drivers.
Congratulations to Cole Denton and the Jan's Racing Team #71 team on the ARCA victory, with Trevor Huddleston and Mia Lovell rounding out the podium.
But the race of the night?
The Hobby Stocks.
Tyler Huffines brought home the win in a Greg Biffle throwback car after an incredible race that showed exactly why grassroots racing continues to be the heartbeat of this sport.
When it was all said and done:
9 race weekends.
11 weeks.
46 green flags.
43 Victory Lane celebrations captured.
Tri-City Raceway was more than another track checked off a list I technically don’t even have.
It was a reminder of why I fell in love with racing long before I ever picked up a camera.
Sometimes the unexpected trips end up being the ones you needed the most!
