Brayden Davis #1 at Bristol!
I have to admit that I did not see this coming. Marc Ingwersen tuner Parker Miller asked me under the Bristol Dragway tower what I thought Brayden Davis would run on the Vance & Hines rental bike. “Top five?” he conjectured. “Oh, I don’t think so,” I said. “I’m thinking…
