Round 4 - Martinsville


Round 4 of the series took place on the tight 'paper clip' 0,5 mile oval that is Martinsville.

I was quckest over the 10 lap practise session with a time of 21.504.

I couldn't match that time in qualifying but I still managed pole with a time of 21.811.

In the race, I led for the first 13 laps and then it all went horribly wrong as I given the my first black flag. The next two were given as I tried to make my way through all the traffic. 36 cars on a half mile oval is a lot!


To add more misery, during one of the longer green flag periods there was an accident ahead which inadvertently caused me enter the pit lane for an unscheduled stop!

Needless to say I finished 36th.

I did though lead for 20 of the 67 laps with a best lap of 21.217.

21st in the standings now 169 points behind the leader.
