This was no doubt the most exciting and all-time best weekend of my life, and hopefully I’ll get to go again next year.

Carmichael — a 29-year-old native of Clearwater who lives with wife Ursula and their twins near Tallahassee — has been busy making the transition from racing on two wheels to four. This afternoon, he’ll be behind the wheel of the Kevin Harvick-owned Monster Energy Chevrolet, starting 23rd in the 43-car grid for the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200, the ARCA race that officially kicks off the oval track portion of Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway… More info
