Round 19 - Phoenix International Speedway

The penultimate round of the Championship took place in the Arizona desert at the Phoenix International Raceway.

Practise went very well as my time of 29.567 was the fastest posted during the session.

My good form carried over into qualifying as my time of 29.270 was enough to win pole position.

In the race I was always in the top 2. I led for 53 of the 61 laps, however on the last restart two laps from the end I made the mistake of going too early. Luckily I realised it before I could be penalised but had to drop back to third where I remained until the end.

My best lap time in the race was 29.467, my second fastest lap of the weekend

I was now up to 1st in the standings, 73 points ahead. The Championship is within my grasp!
