Round 7 - Samsung 500, Texas


Round 7 took place at one of the fastest tracks on the championship circuit, Texas Motor Speedway.

The race weekend started well as I was fastest straight out of the box in practice with a time of 33.564 after the mandatory 10 laps.

I was a tad slower in qualifying but still managed to claim pole position with a time of 33.585.


I led the majority of the laps until I pitted for fuel on lap 34. I then began the long journey back through the pack. I had to take chances as the pack pitting for fuel was not something I could rely on. This caused me to get a black flag and a drive through penalty on lap 41.

Forty seven laps were left when I came out of the pits. Together with the pack stopping for fuel and some great driving I managed to get back to the lead and finish the race first!


My best lap of the race was a 33.406 which was my fastest of the race weekend.

I led 48 of the 84 laps.

I was 1st in the standings 57 points ahead.
