This high banked oval which boasts speeds of 153mph in the corners is one of Nascar's fastest tracks.
The race weekend started off with the mandatory 10 lap practise session. I was just inside the top 5, placing 5th with a time of 41.633.
Qualifying next and the question was could I get further up the grid? The answer was yes as I managed 3rd with a time of 41.544.
The race turned out to be something special for me - no black flags. On the first lap I passed one car to go 2nd and that is where I stayed until 2 laps from the end where there was a yellow flag period. On the restart I was passed by 4 cars to finish a credible 6th.
My best time of the race was 41.594 which was my fastest of the race weekend!
I was up to 5th in the standings.
