Scott Lynch fully admits he's come a long way from the potato fields in Idaho.
"To be honest, it's a pleasure just to be here," said the driver of the No. 29 Westward Racing Enterprise from Burley, Idaho. "Growing up on the west coast in a small town in Idaho and coming and actually saying you've been here at Daytona is a great experience in itself."
That being said, Lynch isn't so overwhelmed by "The World Center of Racing" that he can't or won't focus on his task at hand.
"Its' one thing to make the show at a place like Daytona," he said prior to the start of the third and final rain-shortened day of NASCAR Craftsman Truck Testing at DIS on Sunday. "It's another to have a good showing and we're here to make sure that happens."
On Sunday, Lynch posted the 13th best time with a best-speed of 182.812 mph. Saturday, Lynch posted the second fastest time in the morning session at 178.327 mph. Justin Marks in his No. 9 crocs/Construction Corps Toyota was fastest on Sunday (185.732 mph) followed by Ron Hornaday (185.414) and Chad McCumbee (185.326).
"We're good on single time but struggling a bit on the draft," he added. "We've been working with Stacy Compton (No. 4 Bobby Hamilton VA Dodge) over the weekend and it's really helped us. We're just looking forward to getting the season underway."
