Round 13 - Milwaukee 500
The famous Milwaukee Mile played host to round 13 of the series.
I was fastest after the 10 lap practise session with a time of 29.825.
Could I go into qualifying and grab the pole? The answer was yes, a time of 29.931 was good enough!
The race didn't start very well as I managed to spin twice in the first 26 laps. I stopped for fuel on lap 45 and then set about making my way to the front. Yet again I was too aggressive and received the black flag on lap 73. I had 40 laps to make up the ground to the leader. I nearly did it but fell just short by finishing 2nd.
My fastest lap of the race was a 30.287.
I was now 8th in the standings 261 points behind.

Round 12 - Dover, Delaware
The Monster Mile that is Dover played host to round 12 of the series.
As with recent rounds in practise I was fastest with a best time of 27.111.
Qualifying went well as I posted the fastest time and secured another pole position (27.053).
The raced turned out to be yet another fuel related disaster.
I kept the lead from pole for the majority of the early laps. I stopped twice under yellow for fuel and each time I had to make my way back through the pack to the front. Unfortunately I was a tad too aggressive and so on lap 71 I was given the dreaded black flag.
I did manage to finish 13th which gave me a fair haul of championship points. No ne else stopped for fuel!
My best lap of the race was 26.966.
I led 34 of the 90 laps.
I was now 11th in the Championship standings 285 points behind the leader.
