Round 8 - Texas Motor Speedway


Round 8 took place at one of the fastest tracks on the championship circuit, Texas Motorspeedway.

The race weekend started well as I was fastest straight out of the box in practise with a time of 31.111 after the mandatory 10 laps.

I was a tad faster in qualifying and managed to claim pole position with a time of 34.084.



The 43 lap race followed a similar pattern to the previous 7 although I do feel that I have made significant progress as regards my driving style. For the first 34 laps I ran in the top 5, leading 12 of them.




On lap 35 I received the dreaded black flag. After the mandatory drive through penalty I only had 3 laps to make up as many places as possible. I actually passed 7 trucks to finish 29th.

No change in the standings - 26th.
