The month of August was tough for the No. 43 WinField team with late race accidents and mechanical issues robbing the team of good results in four of the five races. To finish the month off, a cut brake line on Lap 13 took Dakoda Armstrong out of contention early at Road America. With the arrival of September, Armstrong hopes to shake all the bad luck off with a strong performance at one of the sport’s most historic racetracks, Darlington Raceway.
Armstrong has just one start at Darlington Raceway in the XFINITY Series race in 2014 where he scored a Top-20 finish. As an organization, RPM made three XFINITY Series starts at the egg-shaped oval, with a Top-20 finish in each of its starts. Currently, Armstrong sits 13th in the XFINITY Series Championship Point Standings.
  After a tough month, @DakodaArmstrong looks to rebound at @TooToughToTame and start September with a good finish. #nascar

 “I’ve only been to Darlington once and learned a lot in my first start. This track has a big learning curve. ‘The Lady in Black’ certainly has a deep history and has earned its reputation. It has the greatest sensation of speed of all the tracks we go to. The fast line is right next to the wall and the groove is narrow, so passing is very difficult. It’s the toughest track we race. I’m still learning. Last year, I was able to finish without the ‘Darlington Stripe’. If I can learn as much this time as we did in my first start, we’ll have a good day.”
