We started on Friday with practice. We struggled quite a but we never did put any new tires on. We put the new tires on Sat hoping to improve some. There towards the end f practice we made a couple good changes to the car and we were pretty happy going into qualifying but still not were we wanted the car to be. I ended up qualifying 5th and we started the race pretty happy with what the car would...

South Georgia Motor-sports Park
It was an awesome weekend in south GA in the Aaron’s Dream Machine. We started the day with practice for my first time in the late model at a race. I was 8th quickest in practice and qualified 6th but the invert was 8 so that picked me up 3 spots to put me starting in the third spot. It was a 100 lap race and there were just a few cautions. In the beginning of the race I fell back to seventh...
ATL 1/4 mile
A great weekend to wrap up the GA state championship winter series. It was cup weekend so all we did was draw and race. I drew a 10 and that put me on the pole. We got 5 laps of practice and the car was terrible, just did not have any grip. We tightened the car up a little bit before the race. Going into one there was a wreck starting right behind me. I am not really sure what happened but just...

An awesome weekend began on friday at the AMS. We started the day drawing a 26 for the first race and a 1 for the second. This week was a double feature. Started 3rd in the second heat race and ended up in the third spot. I started 6th in the feature and on the start the guy beneath me spun the tires and I got to get to the bottom going into one. I passed a few cars and me and the 7 were out front...
Orlando Nationals
The first time at the orlando speed-world for the winter nationals. It was a week show starting monday and going through saturday. Monday was just practice and from the time we rolled off the trailer the car was awesome. Monday went very well and we where looking forward to going into tuesday, the first day of racing. On tuesday the car was still great but the track was difficult to pass on. Ended...
Lanier
A great day at the lanier national speedway. Started the day pretty good in practice just a little loose getting into the corner. Someone dumped a bunch of oil on the track in the first session and it changed the track quite a bit. I drew a 16 which put me in the second spot in the first heat race. It was a fun heat race with some good clean racing and ended up winning it. I started on the pole...
Atlanta Road Course
Just some bad luck at the road course on saturday ended up making the day a bad one. Started the day okay but had a engine problem in the practice/ qualifying session. The crank trigger was messed up and we had to replace it. We just got it done in time for the a- main and I ended up finishing in second in it, we where pretty suprised considering that just a few minutes ago the motor...

Lanier
Not a very good week over at Lanier. Started on saturday and only got the heat races done before the rain caught up to us and postponed the features until sunday. I drew awful and started last in the second heat race. I made my way up to fourth but just not enough time to make it past the third position. That put me starting in the number eight spot for the feature. We were the first ones on...
Cordele
The first race back since the christmas break we had was held down in Cordele. We started the day off in practice not very well just trying to get back into the rhythm. We ended up getting two pratcice sessions so we had another one so we can a little bit more time. I drew a one so I was first in the first heat race. The heat race went good and I ended up holding off the 14 for the win. I started...

ATL Road Course
It was my first race in a legend at the road course in atlanta. We started off the afternoon very well. We did the european style qualifying which means you qualify in practice or they take your fastest time from practice. I qualifyed on the pole which put me first for the a-main. It was a pretty good a-main and went very well finishing 3rd overall and 1st in my class. I was starting 3rd in the...

In practice, we where not to good when we first unloaded but we worked our way around the problems and ended up winning the heat rcace which put me on the pole for the feature. As soon as we took the green flag it was a close and fun race. The...

We had a pretty good night at the AMS. I did not draw good, drawing a 39 out of 40 which put me last in my heat race. It was an 8 lap heat race and I made my way to 3rd which started me third in the feature. We took the green flag and the kid on the outside pole got in front of me because I did not have a good start and spun the tires. Wegot a couple laps into the race and the two leaders got side...

Lanier
Back at Lanier for their last race until November when we start the winter series. I drew a 16 or so but that put me 2nd in the heat race. We took the green flag and I dropped in line behind the leader and we pulled away from the rest of the guys. My car was a little loose with not a lot of grip and we think my tires where going away. I ened up starting 2nd in the feature and on the start the...
Atlanta
At the Atlanta Motor Speedway, I started the night by drawing a 20, not my best draw but better than my usual. In practice I was fast and I thought the car handled awesome but I just could not get a really clean lap without running into traffic. I started outside pole in the heat race and was faster than the leader the whole race, just could not get around him. There was about 3 to go and the...
Lanier
This week at Lanier started out by drawing a 67, once again , one of my awful draws.I started last in the heat race and just passed a couple of cars to get into the 4th spot. I started the race on the inside fourth row. In the beginning of the race, my car was not great and we got strung out and on lap 11 the guy in front of me spun out coming out of four and that was the first caution of many to...
Anderson
This week , we decided to go somewhere instead of just lanier. We headed down to Anderson SC. I started the night by drawing a 24 which put me on the inside last row in the heat race. There was not a lot of cars and they put pro and semi-pro together. In the heat race my car was awesome but it was hard to pass and made it to fourth. I started fourth in the feature. I had the fastest car in the...
Lanier, 8/6/08
This week at Lanier I started the night by drawing a 37, not very good. I started 4th out of 6 in my heat race and that put me 2nd to last starting the feature. We took the green flag and I had a pretty good start and got around a few people. I went off into one and got a good run off of four and got under someone for the 6th spot. I passed one more person and i was in 5th before a caution. Under...

I had a pretty good car in the feature and...
Lowe's Motor Speedway
This week at Lowes was the best that I have run up there. I drew a 175 and that put me 2nd in my heat race. My car was awesome and I had one to win the feature. I was on the leaders bumper and I just couldn’t get around him and I ended up 2nd in my heat race. They did a invert for the feature and it somehow put me on the pole for the main. I lead the first two laps fighting on the inside...

At AMS this week was a double feature night because it rained it out the week before so we didn’t get any practice just two features. In the first feature my car was pretty good but I had to start last. The race was only 15 laps because it was a double feature night. I drove a ways up the field and there was a wreck on the last lap coming out of turn 2 and when I checked up someone behind...

This week at Lowes was the best that I have ever run up there. I started on the pole in the heat race and fell back to third. I didnt have to go to the b-main and started 11th in the main event and had a crazy start and they had a wreck behind me about mid-pack. I chose to stay on the inside and started for the second time and it was wild in the front and they wrecked up front and I was almost...

I started the night by drawing a 126 not to terribal being out of 400 but still ended up starting in the back of the first heat race and didn’t do good and had to go to the b-main to make it into the race. I started 4th in the b-main and the car was real good but I had some exaust problems and didn’t run as good as I could...

At Lanier on Saturday things didn’t go as good as the last few weeks have been… I started by drawing a 56. Not good, but I started mid-pack in the heat race and finished in the back in the heat. I started in the back of the main event and went to the outside under a caution and was up front but I fell back and ended up not to good but it was a short race and my car was to tight to get any...
