Throwback IROC: Chakat Whitelion becomes first driver to trail the field in a IROC Series race at Daytona

Chakat Whitelion picked up the 1st last place finish of hir ONL IROC Series career in the Race 1 at the Daytona International Speedway when shi completed all 20 laps under power.

The finish came in hir 1st career start.

Chakat Whitelion was one of twelve drivers to sign up for the first ever International Race Of Champions as a four race schedule would put the very best of the ONL(Oreius NASCAR League) against each other to see who was the best of the best.

On race day, Whitelion rolled off starting 2nd while starting last was the #11 of Dinkdrinker. Details about the race are mostly unknown due to the race being held before it came to YouTube where it's currently being held. What is known about the race is that the lead changed 17 times during the 20 lap race, and by the time the Checkered Flag waved, Whitelion had fallen back to last.

The remaining Bottom Five finished on the same lap as the race leaders: 11th was the #7 of Nitahbk, 10th was the #3 of Oreius Centaur, 9th was the #9 of Truttle and 8th was the #10 of Bulldog67.

Chakat Whitelion would go winless for the first two seasons of hir career, picking up win #1 in the season finale of Season 3 at Indy. Season 4 would be Whitelion's greatest IROC Season, winning the final two races, at Cleveland and the season finale for the second year in a row as well as scoring the SCRL IROC Series Champion for Season 3. Currently shi has the second most wins, one behind dragonboy, who has 4.
