Round 7 - Dover, Delaware

The Monster Mile that is Dover played host to round 7 of the series.

As with recent rounds in practise I was fastest with a best time of 27.165.

Qualifying went well as I posted the fastest time and secured another pole position (27.132).

The raced turned out to be yet another fuel related disaster.

I kept the lead from pole for the majority of the early laps. However just before halfway I got the 'halfway on fuel' message. I knew that I would either have to pit or if I got lucky run out as I passed the chequered flag.

I decided to pit early so as to give myself enough time to make my through the field. I worked my way up to 2nd with a couple of laps left. I touched the leader as I went for the overtake and received the black flag for dangerous driving! I finished in the pit lane serving the penalty in 17th position.

My best lap of the race was 26.895.

I led 45 of the 90 laps.

I was now 3rd in the Championship standings 30 points behind the leader.

Round 6 - Lowes Motor Speedway, Charlotte NC

The sixth round of series saw the trucks roll in to Lowes motorspeedway (formerly Charlotte) in North Carolina.

Another solid practice session where again I was fastest with a time of  32.598 after the 10 laps.

Qualifying almost followed the pattern of practice as I was fastest with a time of 32.439.

I led for most of the first half of this race and as it went on I began to confidently think of victory.
Just before halfway I was notified that I was halfway on fuel. I decided to pit after I had recieved my bonus points for leading the most laps.

With the help of 2 yellow flag periods I was able to recover my lead and record another victory. For the record no one else pitted for fuel.

I led 32 of the 60 laps.

I was top of the standings, 19 points ahead.

I set a fastest time of 32.445.
