Round 9 Michigan International Speedway

Michigan Super Speedway was home to round 9 of the series.

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 just outside the top 10, placing 13th with a time of 42.159.
Qualifying next and the question was could I get further up the grid? The answer was yes as I managed 7th  with a time of 41.852.
The race turned out to be something special for me - no black flags. On the first lap I was passed by four cars to go 11th and that is where I stayed for the 30 laps. I was running on my own all the time just behind two cars but I could never get within passing distance.

My best time of the race was 41.677 which was my fastest of the race weekend!

I was up to 16th in the standings.
