Round 5 - Kansas

Round 5 took place at the very fast Kansas Motor Speedway.

As usual it seems I had a very good practise session, topping the timing sheets with a time of 34.088.

Qualifying did not go so well as I could only manage a 33.823 which saw me on the 3rd row in 6th place.

It didn't take long fo me to move up the order in the race. I managed to hold the lead until I was informed that I didn't have enough fuel to last the race.

I stayed out front until lap 38 when I was sure that I had gained the 5 bonus points for leading the most laps. I then pitted. I came out of the pits a lap down and was making my way back to the front when all the other cars pitted as well. I was then in a good position to be able to claim another win.

I was up to 7th in the standings 108 points behind.

My fastest lap of the race was a 33.687.

I led 42 of the 67 laps.

Round 4 - Martinsville

Round 4 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 20.942.

I bettered that time in qualifying as I managed pole with a time of 20.875.

In the race, I led all 77 of the 100 laps. I didn't win the race because I got a black flag on lap 53 and another on the very last corner whilst leading.

My eventual finishing position was a sorry 17th.

I did set a best lap time of 20.508 which was my fastest of the weekend.

I was still 10th in the standings 146 points behnd the leader.
