I was on good form and feeling confident of a good result at the very fast Las Vegas Motor Speedway when the trucks arrived for round 14 of the series.
The 10 laps practise session went very well as I was fastest after the 10 laps with a time of 32.789.
Qualifying was slightly disappointing as I could only manage a time of 32.860 which gave me a 4th place starting position.
As the green flag dropped I overtook 2 of the cars that lined up in front of me. I then proceeded to run in the top 2 until lap 41 of the scheduled 45 laps.
On lap 41 I decided to make my move for the lead. However I slightly misjudged the closing speed and clipped the car in front. It was only a slight tap but it was enough to spin me out.
I restarted with 2 laps to go in 29th place. In the remaining 2 laps I made up 7 places to finish 22nd.
I did lead 8 laps but this wasn't enough to gain me the 5 bonus points for leading the most laps.
My fastest lap of the race was a 32.722.
