Big Daddy DeWayne Mills is Back!

Look who's back! "Big Daddy" DeWayne Mills and the Golden Gorilla made a comeback at the Spring Shootout at Holly Springs Motorsports Park in Mississippi last weekend! Considering the damage taken from his wild ride at Lights Out 6, they were able to get the Camaro back to its original shape very quickly, and the new front end looks perfect!

Mills and crew dished out the low E.T. and MPH of each round of qualifying and eliminations. Check out the table below to see how Mills and crew chief, Jamie Miller had the Golden Gorilla dialed in.

 Round 1/8 Mile ET @ MPH
Q1 4.22@194mph
Q2 4.18@194mph
Q3 4.13@197mph
E1 4.12@195mph
E2 4.12@197mph
E3 4.10@198mph


Though he lost on a holeshot in the final round, his dominant performance at Holly Springs proved that Mills Racing is back and you can bet that they will be hard at it this year!
