Daddy Dave Heads to Virginia Motorsports Park With Small Tire Audi

Well, folks, Daddy Dave is officially headed to Virginia Motorsports Park this weekend for a Speed Promotions event — and he’s bringing out his badass Audi, now setup for small tires.

Now if you’ve been following Daddy Dave’s racing journey, you know this isn’t your average switch-up. The car he’s racing, that wicked Audi, was originally built for big tire competition and even snagged an NPK win two years ago. But lately, Dave’s been going all-in on small tire racing — and from the looks of it, he’s not slowing down anytime soon.

This isn't just a one-off appearance either. Dave’s been steadily dialing in the Audi on small tires, and according to him, the car is working better than ever. He recently went back to a ProCharger setup, ditching the turbo combo he tried last year that just didn’t get the job done on a no prep surface. With the big 140-1 ProCharger and a freshly prepped XRE Hemi under the hood, Dave’s confident that the car is dialed in and ready to throw down.

And honestly, that confidence is well earned.

The Audi is clearly responding well to the small tire setup. Dave’s already got several wins under his belt with this combo, and he’s not about to switch back to big tires — at least not right now. He wants to stay focused on gathering data, logging seat time, and staying race-ready for the two huge $100,000-to-win small tire races coming later this year. One will be on a no prep surface with 28-inch tires, and the other on radials with full prep. Two totally different beasts, and Dave wants to be ready for both.

So what’s the strategy? Keep racing. Keep testing. And fine-tune that Audi until it’s unstoppable.

The small tire class at Speed Promotions events always draws a serious crowd of tough competitors, and this weekend will be no different. But Daddy Dave’s got the experience, the car, and the momentum to be a major threat. With that fresh motor and transmission setup, he’s showing up locked and loaded.
