Well we had the Chevy in the car and ran 21st fastest in the Hot Laps. We were in the third heat starting second. We pulled away from everyone and was just out there driving clear winning the heat race. The feature came and we made adjustments to the car due to track changing and on the first lap Joel lead but came off of turn four pretty scary and all over, then the red came out in that lap. We made some changes to the car and Joel went back out and lead the first 15 laps, but with the changes we did under the red and the track changing as the race went on, the two didn't meet and Joel dropped back to 11th and finished the race. At the end of the night we were 2nd fastest in time.

We will be back again next week trying it again.

In Hot Laps I was 10th fastest with a 19.065 time. I did good in my heat finishing 2nd while Scott Messimer passed me for 1st.  In the feature I was running in the top 5 and in the 13th lap the car started over heating so instead of ruinning a motor I pulled in on the 21st lap. I took 21st for the night since I pulled in but atleast I still have a good motor to work on the heating issue. I hope that my crew, motor men, and I can figure it out and get us back to the track for next Saturday night.

I would just like to Thank my sponsors, parents, and crew members for putting their time into working on the car to help me keep it going to races every week.
