Round 17 - Atlanta Motor Speedway, Georgia

Round 17 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 31.756.

Qualifying went even better for me as I qualified just off the front row in 3rd place with a time of 31.718.

In the race I found myself 4th early on and decided to stay there until the last 15 of the 33 laps. With 15 to go I begun to make my move, the cars in front of me were running alone which made passing easier however I did have to lap a few trucks as well. By the fiinal lap I was second but nearly 2 seconds behind the leader so there was no chance of winning the race.

I finshed second but didn't pick up any bonus points as I didn't lead any laps.

I ended up back to12th place in the overall standings still 888 points behind the current leader.
