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 and we raced in that order for more than half of the race. With about 40 to go I got the 6th place car. It was a very hard track to pass and it was very hard to get under someone to make a pass. I ended up with a solid 6th place finish and we were all pleased for being my first race and the second time in the car. I want to thank my mom and dad, all the guys on the team, Aaron’s, Circle racing wheels, bell helmets, butler seats, mechanix wear, racing electronics, oakley, mobil 1, quarter master, swift springs, arp bodies, wix, bowman, bosch, vp racing fuels, and the dawsonville pool room for helping me and giving me this awesome chance to do an amazing sport. We are headed to cordele next week and I am looking forward to heading down there for race number two in the late model.
