Round 3 - Atlanta Motor Speedway

Round 3 of the series took place at the very fast Atlanta Motor Speedway in Georgia.

I started off the race weekend with a very satisfying practise session, where after my 10 laps I was 5th fastest with a time of 31.814.

Qualifying went even better for me as I qualified just off the front row in 3rd place with a time of 31.808.

 

In the race I found myself in the lead after the first 3 of the 37 laps. The racing was close as shown by the warning I received for dangerous driving on lap 13.

I managed to be in the lead 2 laps from the end when under pressure from the trucks behind I caused the race's only yellow flag period which inevitably led to the dreaded black flag.

I finshed last in 36th place after having led 20 of the 37 laps!

My fastest time in the race was 31.692 which was quicker than I qualified!

I ended up back down in 13th place in the overall standings 169 points behind the current leader.
