Nice hot muggy day. I timed in at 14.998 or in that area. Several people heard 14.849 but, when the times were posted I was 8th at the 14.99. That put us inside 2nd row in the 2nd heat.

In the heat we made 2 attempts to start the race when the 93 jumped the green early. Other then taking us to the green a little on the fast side, I felt he jumped about the same place as everyone else does. I guess the track thought other wise. After the second time Troy was sent to the rear and the 39 dropped into the pole position. We finally got the green and the inside row shot out and we basically ran the race with about 3 car lengths between each car. We finished 2nd.

When you looked at the line up for the main, you could see what was looking like one heck of a race. You had the top 3 in points in the first 3 positions and the the top 10 in time all up front. Unfortunately it really didn't turn out that way. When we took the green everybody lined out. The 39 had the lead followed by the 29, us, 11, 14. This was pretty much it until some where between lap 15 to lap 20 when the 39 cut a tire and the 11 took advantage and jumped outside and started to move forward. I quickly followed suit along with the 14. I managed to hold on to the car for the few remaining laps and finished 2nd.

As of right now the points haven't been posted but, I believe we are in a tie for the lead.

See ya on the 5th!
