GMS Racing ARCA Iowa Recap – Daniel Dye

Daniel Dye, No. 21 Race to Stop Suicide Chevrolet

START: 2nd
FINISH: 2nd

Race Notes:

  • Daniel Dye made his third career ARCA Menards Series national start on Saturday at the unique 7/8-mile Iowa Speedway oval, driving the No. 21 Metra Electronics, Race to Stop Suicide Chevrolet SS for GMS Racing.
  • The 17-year-old Daytona Beach, Florida rookie timed in second overall in General Tire Pole Qualifying. Following the first of six race cautions, Dye would come to pit road, where the crew would check under the hood of the No. 21. Daniel restarted from the tail of the 23-car field when the green returned.
  • The Solar-Fit, KIX Country sponsored Chevrolet would immediately surge back to the front of the field, taking the first scheduled caution at lap-50 in third.
  • Dye would battle amongst the leaders throughout the Shore Lunch 150 and was chasing down eventual race winner Ty Gibbs in the late stages of the 132-mile event.
  • The GMS Racing Chevy SS took the checkered flag in second, 1.297-seconds behind Gibbs. Dye now maintains an average finish of 3.3, including a seventh at Elko, victory at Berlin, and runner-up at Iowa.

Quote:

“Man, tonight was another really great run for our GMS guys with the Race to Stop Suicide Chevy. I about wrecked the car a couple times trying to reel in Ty (Gibbs). The faith Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Beam had to bring me to this 21 GMS Racing Chevrolet and letting me live my dream, I’m so blessed and thankful. To be racing in front of all these fans, the sold-out backstretch packed with campers, and just this race track, in general, is so cool.”
