The Lone Star state was home to round 18 of the championship.
Texas is one of the fastest of the mile and a half speedways.
Practise went well as I posted the fastest time of 33.881 after the mandatory 10 laps.
I was on form in qualifying as well - pole position with a time of 34.033.
My race was a perfect example of poor decision making. Until 10 laps from the end I'd led enough laps to get the 10 bonus. However I drifted out wide on one of the turns and hit the wall dropping me to 10th place.
Sometimes racing for a championship you have to accept that you can't win every race. I should have used the remaining laps to carefully pass as many cars as possible before the end however I tried to get back to the front too aggressively which resulted in yet another black flag. I finished a disapppointing 35th.
I was now 16th in the standings, 962 points behind although a top 10 finish was still possible.
