With the season opening Daytona ARCA race quicikly approaching, Grant took the BeasleyAllen speedway car back to the Roush Yates chassis dyno Thursday. Grant was dissapointed to find that the “coast down” reading on the dyno revealed that no improvement had taken place since the installation of a new transmission and new rear gear assembly. “There is still something creating drag between the engine and rear axle and it is frustrating to discover that our “fixes” have not been successful.”
 
Grant is due to be in Daytona February 2nd, and much more work is required to have the car ready to load at the North Carolina shop. While he is completing race preparation he will continue searching for answers to the driveline drag problem. On-track practice will be limited at Daytona and Grant knows that a very competitive field will appear in Florida for the nationally televised race which is attracting a lot of attention, due to Danica Patrick’s stock car debut in the 200 mile ARCA race which is scheduled to be run Saturday February 6th at 3 pm CST.
