WHAT THEY'RE SAYING BRENT DRAGON, Driver of the No. 55 Beverage Mart/Furniture World of VT/Charlesbois Freightliner, On putting power steering issues behind them for this week: “Those things just happen. (The team) got home (after the race at Thunder Road) and Monday shipped everything out to the manufacturer. They ordered a bunch of new parts. I'm sure that it will be fine – I know they really want it to be. “It's just one of those things that you can't fix it ahead of time. It happens after you get racing for 20 laps or so. When you practice, you don't get enough time to ever run 20 laps at once – so it's something where you don't have enough laps on the car to know you have a problem until you really get racing.” On turning around his luck to start the year: “It's important to me, especially for that whole Avery group. They work really hard. It's a great group of guys, and hopefully we can have a good run for them fairly soon. I think the car's been pretty good each of the first two races, but we just don't have anything to show for it.” On racing at Oxford Plains Speedway: “We race there twice out of the 14 races, so it's a seventh of your series. I'm looking forward to it. People who have been over there already (to test) said the track's in good shape. Hopefully, the last few years, it's been a good place for us.” On whether it's a setup track or a driver's track: “It's probably been more chassis-wise and learning the line a little better for me. I think the track is actually quite a bit different every time we go there, at least that's what I've sort of found. This time of year it's usually a different setup than in July. “I've been lucky enough to hit on something on both ends – when the track is cool and green and also when it's hot and slippery in the summer. Hopefully we'll keep it going this weekend.” UP NEXT The ACT Late Model Tour heads Devil's Bowl Speedway in West Haven, Vt., on Sunday, May 22, for the Spring Green 111. This marks the first time the event will be contested at the half-mile speedway... Brent Dragon is the only three-time champion of the Spring Green.
