Friday, July 5th we went to Legendary Hilltop Speedway where we set 3rd fast time. We started on the pole of the 3rd heat and led all but the last turn and were passed by Rich Michael. This started us 6th in the feature and we fell back to 8th or so, but fought our way back to a 5th place finish. I just missed the set up and the car didn’t perform well. I’ll take the blame for that. We got rained out at I-77 Speedway on July 6th. Friday, July 12th we went to Skyline where Coop drew his first bad pill over there this year. We started 7th in the heat but got the win to start us on the outside pole beside Roy Roush. Roy got the early lead by virtue of single file start due to 3 cautions before getting a lap in. But we managed to take the lead but I noticed that something was broke and it isn’t the first time either. We broke a left rear shock mount and kept the car from getting up on the bars the way it needed to. Jeremy Berwanger came from deep in the field and passed us to give us a 2nd place finish. We’ll take it, considering the car was not performing the way it should have. Saturday, July 13th we went to I-77 Speedway where we set fast time, won the 1st heat and started on the pole of the feature. We took the early lead and were running the bottom. But James Dennis found the high line and passed us. I went to the high line and we were just about as good as he was and had made a move a couple of times to pull alongside him coming off of turn 4. But in the end, James went on to get the win and we got another 2nd. I was really mad at myself for not taking the high line from the get go, but no one to blame but myself! This week we plan to go to Skyline on Friday and Saturday we will go to McCown’s Jackson County Speedway for $1,000 to win. So, we hope to see ya there!
