We timed in 8th at a 15.15 and started our heat outside second row. During the heat I tried to push the 29 car to help him get by the 21. After a few laps with little movement I fell back into 4th behind the 28. A few laps later I had a good run out of 4 and moved along the inside of the 28 heading into 1. After some contact and the proceeding caution I was sent to the rear. Now I felt that I had position. I had always been told that if I had the door I had position. But, of course this is I25 and hell who knows what they are thinking. I was told the explanation over the PA was that I didn't have a preferred line to make the pass.... Preferred line? What the &^$^ is that. I believe as long as you stayed above the yellow, you can make whatever line you wanted. Anyways, there are no hard feelings towards the 28. It was just racing. We managed to make it back to finish 4th.

In the main we started 13th and slowly worked our way up a few spots when I drove into 3 way to hot and spun the 29. So from the rear with 10 laps left I went on a mission. I drove the living s&#t out of the car and made it back up to 6th and was trying to get by the 33 on the outside on the final lap but ran out of time.

So, this week I will put the bumper back together and piece the nose back on and see you on the 28th.
