This high banked oval which boasts speeds of 153mph in the corners is one of Nascar's fastest tracks.
The race weekend started off with the mandatory 10 lap practise session. I was in the top 10 just , placing 8th with a time of 41.805.
Qualifying next and the question was could I get further up the grid? The answer was no as I could only manage 11thalthough I was only 88 hundredths slower with a time of 41.893.
The race turned out to be something special for me - no black flags. On the first lap I passed two cars to go 9th and that is where I stayed for the 25 laps. I was running on my own all the time and was losing between 0.3 and 0.5 seconds per lap to the leader.
