Day one of the Cecil County Lucas Oil divisional, the last of the event that racers could add to their D1 points for 2025, was, after the track warmed up, a perfect day. Temps in the 60’s added to the legendary Cecil County bite, made for some personal bests for more than a few racers. The traction was so good, front wheel cars were leaving the starting line with their wheels in the air.  But all seriousness aside, conditions were optimal
