Round 19 - Lifeblock.Com 400 Chicagoland



The Nascar Sprint Cup series rolled into Chicago on August 2nd 2015.

This 1.5 mile high speed oval would prove quite a challenge or so I thought. Practice, however,  went well as I set the fastest time of 32.019.

In the qualifying session I qualified down in 19th position with a time of 31.929.


It only took me 20 laps to get to the front which was pleasing.  After leading for 10 laps I decided to pit for fuel on lap 30. This meant that I had to climb back through the pack and this I was doing very well until I received the dreaded black flag for dangerous driving on the very last lap. After serving my penalty I finished in 11th.

My fastest lap of the race was a 31,804 my fastest time of the weekend.


I was 1st in the standings, 338 points ahead of the pack,.
