Round 11 - Darlington Dodge Challenger 500


The latest round of the championship took place at Darlington home of the track known as "Too Tough To Tame".

I was fairly pleased to be 4th quickest in practice with a time of 32.213.

I was not as successful in qualifying, a time of 32.446 was only good enough for 39th position.

The green flag fell and straight away I realised why this track was so infamous. I could not find an easy line to run. Each bend has two levels of banking! I did make it to 9th by lap 42 when I run out of fuel after missing the pit entrance!

After leaving the pits I was so far behind that I could not make up any positions. I finished dead last (43rd)


I was still 1st in the championship, 144 points ahead.

My fastest lap time was 31.815
