We got out for hot laps and made it down the front stretch to the exit. When I stepped on the gas the front of the car started shaking. We found a bent brake rotor that we missed when fixing last weeks damage. Thankfully Kyle had a spare rotor and we were able to continue.
In the heat we started inside 2nd row and once the green dropped we started making a run on the outside for the win. I had a good run going down the back stretch and went into 3 and as I turned I lost my power steering. Not a good thing. The return hose had a hole in it and we lost the fluid out of the system. We had enough though to finish 2nd.
In the main we started outside 2nd row. But, as usual in this class I was stuck behind a slower car and was freight trained back to about 10th before I could get down. Through attrition and passing we made up to the top 5 when we were able to get under the 11 and raced him for a few laps when the brake just got hot and I decided to let him by. Then the 33 made his way from the back and I let him slip on by so I didn't cause a wreck.
On the last lap we passed Gary (33) trying to modify his car using the back stretch wall. That moved us back into 6th with one to go and finished in the same spot. We moved to 5th when the 57 failed tech and was DQ'ed.
We moved from 9th in points to 7th.
