VOLUME ISSUE AUGUST , P81
the Peoria TT and the Black
Hills HM—were a pair of events,
at least when the Black Hills
HM was still the Buffalo Chip
TT, that were once viewed as
cornerstones to any projected
Daniels' title run.
That put Estenson Racing's
emerging superstar in a position
where he needed to come up
huge at Castle Rock to go into
the upcoming double finale at
the Springfield Mile, where Mees
has ruled with an iron fist as of
late, with more than a puncher's
chance.
