Day one ✔️
Setup is complete, the fire-up went smooth, and you can feel the energy building in the pits. There’s nothing like that first hit of Nitro to remind you why we do this.
Proud of this team and all the work that went into today. Now we turn our focus to tomorrow.
Time to get this Funny Car on the track.
