Elite Series rookie Mark Burgess knows all about snow – after all, he’s from Massachusetts and sees plenty of the white stuff during the winter months – so he comes prepared with the proper tools to combat wintry weather.
“I’m probably the only guy on the Elite Series who carries a snow shovel with him,” he said.
When he left Massachusetts yesterday, the snowstorm that is crippling the northeast had not yet begun. He made it 600 miles to Staunton, Virginia, where he set up camp in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. Check out these pictures of what he woke up to this morning – 15 degree temperatures and over a half foot of snow on the ground, on his boat and on his camper. So much for leaving the weather behind. He has about 1,600 more miles until he arrives in Del Rio for the Elite Series opener. We’ll get more weather reports from Mark as the week progresses, but it’s sufficient to say that if he brings snow to Del Rio there are going to be some awfully surprised (and upset) Texans.
