Round 19 - Phoenix International Raceway

The penultimate round of the Championship took place in the Arizona desert at the Phoenix International Raceway.

With no chance of winning the championship the best I could aim for out of this season was a solid top 20 finish. I did have an outside chance of a top 10 spot but I would have to have two very good results.

Practise went very well as my time of 29.625 was the fastest posted during the session.

My good form carried over into qualifying as my time of 29.668 was enough to win pole position.

In the race I was always in the top 2. I led for 23 of the 38 laps, unlike some of the previous races if I made a mistake I was content to let the cars through and then work my way back to the front.

I crossed the line barely a tenth of a second in front of the second placed truck.

My best lap time in the race was 29.803, two tenths slower than my qualifing time.

I was now up to 12th in the standings, 945 points behind the leader.
