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 come up. I went to the outside under caution and it put me third row outside. We took the green and going into one I got to the inside and got around someone else which out me into the 4th spot. We ha another caution and I went to the outside again and that put me second row outside. As soon as we took the green we had about three to go and I fought my way on the outside to keep the fifth spot but due to two disqualifications I ended up third. Not a bad night and I had fun looking forward to going back next week to the Georgia State Championship.
