Update #6 Race #10

Friday we went back to Legendary Hilltop Speedway & they had 19 modifieds. Coop drew us pill #16 to start us on the outside pole of heat #3, in which we got the win to start us 3rd in the feature behind Roy Roush and Robbie Evans. I had made a spring change before the feature which proved to NOT be the thing to do. We were up to 2nd and fell back to finish 4th. The set up was totally off and it was my fault.Saturday I went thru the car and scaled it back to the baseline and we headed to I-77, where they had 15 cars. We set fast time with a 14.36. We started on the pole of heat one and we won the heat to start us on the pole of the feature beside Jeremy Berwanger. We battled side by side for the first several laps, but his high side momentum eventually won out. So when I went to the high side, he chose low in one and two. I could get a run off of turn two, but couldn’t get a pass on him. On a restart with 4 to go, I dove under him entering turn one and he washed up off of turn two that gave me just enough of a run to beat him into turn 3 to get to the highside. We went on to get win #4. Dad was able to go this night and got down there just in time to get his picture taken in victory lane! I give Maddy Cooper the credit for the win, since she picked where we were racing this past Saturday. But of course if Mother Nature would have showed up and rained us out, she would have gotten the blame for that too. . . . LOLThis weekend, we will be going to Skyline Speedway on Friday and back to I-77 Speedway on Saturday. We hope to see you there! This week, I want to give a shout out to Zemba Bros. out of Zanesville, OH. Scott Zemba and company does excavating for land prep and also does utility service.
