Quick Fill #42: This Week in GNCCNovember 18, 2016Welcome to Quick Fill.
First off, I’d like to apologize to our regular Quick Fill readers for a late edition this week. Our entire staff has not only been busy getting things ready for next weekend’s banquets, but also for the 2017 season as whole. On top of that, Tommy Harris, Ryan Echols, Justin Perkins and myself have been spending this whole week removing sections of the fences at High Point Raceway in preparation for some facility updates over the winter. It’s not exactly easy work, but the weather has been so nice this week that we’ve actually been enjoying the time getting to do a little deconstruction and finding some fun ways to tick the time away as well.
