Danny Races in Darlington Nationwide Race

IRMO, SC :: Danny competed in the NASCAR Nationwide race at Darlington Friday bringing home a respectable 27 th place finish. In his first Nationwide race since parting ways with Johnny Davis Motorsports, Danny drove the #74 car for long time competitor, Mike Harmon. The objective was to finish the race and lock the car into the guaranteed starting spot program….mission accomplished.

Most of practice was missed after a meeting with the infamous “Lady in Black” wall on the 2nd lap out when the brakes failed, gaining a very early “Darlington Strip”. The crew worked diligently to repair the car and get it back out for a few laps but most real tuning would have to wait for the pit stops during the race. A lack of valuable practice time led to a 38th place qualifying time but Danny and Mike knew that was ok and they knew what to do.

Pit stops were the order of the day to adjust on the car. Even so the car was very competitive and could definitely maintain pace until a green flag pit stop after halfway which did not go well put the car 3 laps down where it remained. A 27th place finish was enough to accomplish the pre-race team goals. Danny had aspired to a higher finish but accepted the effort on his favorite track. Emerging from the car he said, “that was the most fun I ever had in a race car, you must race the track and not your fellow competitors here but once you get in the rhythm it is over before you are ready. A special thanks to Mike Harmon and his crew and to Eurasia Entertainment and The Residence at Marina Bay in my home town.”

Danny Efland returns to Nationwide Series in #74 Las Vegas based Eurasia Resorts International, Ltd. for Mike Harmon Racing.

IRMO, SC :: Danny Efland will return to the NASCAR Nationwide Series after a brief hiatus to pilot the #74 Mike Harmon Racing Chevrolet in the VFW Help a Hero 200 at Darlington Raceway on May 10^th, 2013.

Eurasia in Las Vegas is also looking to develop a licensing agreement with NASCAR to acquire the exclusive rights to develop and implement a group of amusement theme parks which would be named “NASCAR World” The prototype location for “NASCAR World” will be built in Eurasia resort in Las Vegas. However, the long term strategy is to build NASCAR World’s in countries in which live NASCAR Racing is not accessible in person to educate international racing fans and their children about the exciting sport of NASCAR. “NASCAR World” will lay the foundation for the growth of the NASCAR in countries in which Formula One is the only racing sport watched

Efland, who makes his home in Irmo, South Carolina, which is located an hour away from Darlington is excited to make his 2013 Nationwide Series debut at his “home track”. “While Mike Harmon Racing has been involved in the Nationwide Series ever year since 2001, they have recently made a new commitment to success and I am eager bring home a great finish for Mike, our new sponsor Eurasia Resorts International, Ltd. and my friends and family who will be in attendance”.

The shops also will be different as they will feature a majority of European and Asian companies who have yet to establish retail presence in the United States.

Eurasia in Las Vegas will create much needed new jobs for the local economy and bring millions of new visitors to the resort each year, while still managing to extend the average stay of a current Las Vegas visitor by an extra 24. Both of these will provide never before seen benefits to the Las Vegas economy.

“My heart and prayers go out to our injured fans in Daytona,” Stated Danny Efland after Saturday’s Nationwide race. He continued, “the drivers and crews know that this can be a dangerous sport but NASCAR works constantly to improve our safety. The tracks work to protect our fans but when things go wrong as they did Saturday, it brings a realization to all of us that we must learn from what happens, especially in protecting our fans who are there to have a good time and do not deserve to be at risk. I wish a speedy recovery to each of them.”

“My Flex Seal Camaro from Johnny Davis Motorsports was an excellent car that kept me in the lead pack all day,” said Danny, “we had worked on drafting and the air so we were prepared to run with the other cars in the tight 25 car packs. With a conservative race plan I did not intend to really race until the last quarter of the event. Crew chief, Dave Smith and his men did a perfect job with pit strategy and the spotter kept me out of trouble.

When it was time to go we went. Everything worked out until with about 5 laps to go several cars tangled on the top of the track. I got down on the apron and all seemed fine until a spinning Kasey Kahne bounced off the outer wall and came down, collecting me. I finished 4 laps down in 25th place. Even so, I am very encouraged for this season. I led my first lap in a NASCAR race and have the great people at Flex Seal supporting many of the races this year.

I am looking forward to Bristol. See you at the races.”
