Friday we went to Skyline & Coop is killing it on the pill draw this year. We started on the outside pole of heat #2 beside Booger Garnes (driving Nick Carr’s car) and we got the heat win. This started us on the outside pole beside JP Roberts. We battled JP for the first 2 or 3 laps until a caution came out. We got the lead and went green and had to battle some lap traffic until a caution with about 5 or 6 to go. We were able to hold on and get win #9. Saturday we went to Ohio Valley Speedway. Dustin Jarrett and his son Chase, along with his dad and Brother in law and his nephew Carson came down to watch some racing at the Valley. I asked Chase to draw my pill and he drew #11 to start us on the pole of heat #3. We went to the high side and got the heat win. At the Valley, the top 2 in each heat redraw for starting position, well Coop went and drew #1. We started on the pole beside Vince Conrad. Vince ran about ¾’s of the way up on the track and I was running the bottom. I could get up beside him, but he would pull back by with his momentum on the high side. I just didn’t have enough off the bottom. So I then decided to move up and follow him in hoping to dive in on the extreme high side. But Vince ran a line that did not allow me to get in. While doing this, Nick Corbitt was working the extreme low side and was working on passing us. So I went back to the bottom and still the same results with Vince. So I then tried to run the middle in hopes to get Vince to bobble, but he kept his line and managed to always pull ahead of us. But moving up to the middle allowed Nick to pass us and he was strong enough on the bottom to pass Vince. I continued to work on Vince, but never made the pass and we got a 3rd place finish. Disappointed with that and I’ll have to redeem myself when we go back this weekend.This weekend we will be at Skyline on Friday and Ohio Valley on Saturday. We hope to see you there!!
