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 first on the inside with the 5 on the outside. It was a good race but in the begining I got shuffled back and by the last caution I was in fourth and went to the outside on the choose rule. I got back in line the lap after we took the green flag and was in second chasing down the leader. My car was awesome there at the end and I finally got under the leader on the last lap and we raced back to the checkered and he kept me pinched and I got loose coming out of four and he just beat me by inches there at the line. I had a great time and I am looking foward to going back for the final race down there. I want to thank my mom, dad, aaron’s racing electronics, bell helmets, oakley, the pool room and abf for giving me the chance to race.
