Dominion Raceway Season Opener

The 2023 season opener at Dominion Raceway kicked off this weekend! The Barnes Racing crew was looking forward to testing and getting resettled with the track, but mother nature had other plans. Friday practice was rained out so the team was going into race day with zero practice. On top of that, they decided to switch motors and didn’t finish changing them until 3 A.M. on them morning of the race. Practice went well and Air Doug wound up qualifying in 5th.

Race one saw a six car invert, which put us on the front row! When the race started, Doug remained in second for nearly half the race. He was passed on lap 30 and stayed in the third position for the remainder of the race

Race two was almost completely uneventful. Doug started sixth and brought it home fifth in the second 60 lap feature.
