9:39am – Welcome in to Day Four coverage of INEX Winter Nationals from Auburndale, Florida.

The drivers meeting was pretty tame this morning, though there was a random roll call of about a half dozen drivers per division, and with Michael Torres not being at the meeting, he is slated to start at the rear of the field.

Practice begins at 10am.
