Round 17 - Atlanta Motorspeedway, Georgia

Round 17 of the series took place at the very fast Atlanta Motor Speedway in Georgia.

I started off the race weekend with a very satisfying practise session, where after my 10 laps I was 3rd fastest with a time of 31.627.

Qualifying went even better for me as I qualified in second with a time of 31.643.

I grabbed the lead early in the race and held until lap 26. For the remaining laps I couldn't catch the leader, in fact I fell behind about a tenth of a second every 2 or laps. Finishing second was not a bad result though.
I led a total of 22 laps out of the 39..

My fastest lap of the race was a 31.542.

I stayed in 5th place in the overall standings 443 points behind the current leader.

Rounds 16 - Martinsville

Round 16 of the series took place on the tight 'paper clip' 0.5 mile oval that is Martinsville.

I was quckest over the 10 lap practise session with a time of 20.701.

I couldn't match that time in qualifying but I still managed pole with a time of 21.302.

From then start I took the lead and was able to hold it comfortablely. The only problem I had was when I was lapping the slower cars which on an half mile oval comes very quickly. I did get a warning about rough driving but did avoid the dreaded black flag. A yellow flag near the end gave the comfort zone to finish the race unopposed. Another win.

I led all of the 72 laps which I think is my best ever performance.

My fastest lap was 20.641, the best of the weekend.

I was now back into 5th in the standings.
