Day 2 of the first ever ASA race to be held in South Africa is already winding down...they are 8 hours ahead of us, which we should bear in mind when we're longing for an adult beverage around 9am any day...

At any rate, the overall fastest time in practice on this second day belonged to Geoff Bodine, who has been working with ASA over in the country for the past several months. Second fastest overall in practice today was Wausau's Chris Wimmer. Then Marc Davis, Tiffany Daniels and John Mickel rounded out the top five in practice times.

The fastest in practice yesterday, Gary Lewis was 6th fastest today. Russ Blakeley was 8th and Steve Carlson 9th in practice. Qualifying would prove to not have much shifting in positions.

Geoff Bodine set the fast time, followed by Marc Davis, with Chris Wimmer 3rd. Russ Blakeley was 5th and Steve Carlson was 7th. The car qualifying prior to Carlson spun out as he was taking his qualifying run and forced a red flag. Carlson said there was more to his car and it should run well in race trim.

There will be no invert for the race tomorrow.
