What an exciting time I had at Bristol!

Saturday I started the first heat race 4th, finished 4th. Started the second heat race 8th, finished 3rd. That put me in the field for the A Main. Out of the 38 drivers they started 24 in the A Main Feature. I started 16th and finished the 20 lap event in 11th.

We made a gear change for Sunday. Three rounds of practice and I was the 7th fastest car. We made another gear change and the stop watch had me in the top 3. I went out to qualify and the car would not turn. I qualified 20th. We knew something was wrong and after looking it over, found a broken steering bracket. We fixed the problem but I was way back in the field to start the event. The race was 40 laps or 20 minutes. I ended Sunday's race in 9th place.

Brought home a top 10 from Bristol. The cars in one piece. It was a good weekend.

 

Missed Saturday, the 15th. Brake trouble on Sunday, the 16th. Finished 8th 

  No

No practice at Atlanta, my first race in almost four months. I started the 20 lap event in 8th, the car was set up way too loose, about the third lap, I spun going into turn three. Restarted in 14th and managed to wheel the car back to a 7th place finish. A little disapointing but a respectable finish for the first time at this track. First race of 2008, Top 10 finish!
