The guy holding that clean white mop is Bill Bader Jr. Bill is the the #1 guy at SMP and very hands on. Bill was tending to the starting line during TD qualifying and earlier in the day he was also driving the Jet dryer. BTW, The starting line mops I see at most tracks never look that clean.
Pit parking is always a popular discussion topic at any of these races. The paved side of the pits where stock and superstock park filled quickly on Thursday. Several racers that were parked by the Norwalk staff commented that they were given lots of extra room by the parking official and that room could have been used to fit more cars into the available spots.
