The car was strong from the moment we unloaded, and I thought that we had a good shot at qualifying . Then the rain came, and I was concerned because we had to go out so early and I knew the track would cool down. We went out 7th overall and after my two laps we were 4th fastest, but we ended up 12th when qualifying was over and we were satisfied with that.

Saturday was pretty calm, hung out at the track and did a hospitality for Interstate. I can't say enough about the people from Interstate, they have been so supportive this year.

The race started good for us. We were real fast during the first part, and I knew we had a chance of finishing in the top five because the car was good. But then it happened, a wreck on a restart and a car spun into my left front fender and we had to pit to fix it. Still, I thought we had a good chance to finish strong because there were so few cars on the lead lap, but the car got so tight that it was hard for me to pass anyone, and we finished 9th.

Thanks,
