Round 13 - New Hampshire

The Nascar Craftsman truck series rolled into New Hampshire on December 1st.

This one mile flat oval would prove quite a challenge or so I thought. Practise went well as I set the fastest time of 32.356 on the last of the scheduled 10 laps.

In the qualifying session I qualified in pole position with a time of 32.133.


I took the lead early on in the race to get the 5 bonus points for leading a lap. Holding on to the lead proved hazardous as after halfway there were 3 yellow flag periods in quick succession. I decided to let a car through in the early laps to avoid the black flag. With 10 to go I closed on the leader and got the lead. All was going well into the final corner when I drifted slightly wide and was passed. A second place!

My fastest lap of the race was a 32.689. I managed to lead 34 of the 60 laps.

I was up to 9th in the standings.
