This one mile flat oval would prove quite a challenge or so I thought. Practise went well as I set the fastest time of 32.069 on the 7th of the scheduled 10 laps.
In the qualifying session I qualified in pole position with a time of 31.820.
I took the lead early on in the race to get the 5 bonus points for leading a lap. I was never truly comfortable in the lead and this was bore out when the second placed car spun me out on lap 17. Under the yellow flag I was sent to the back of the pack. With 53 laps remaining I begun the climb back up the field. I re-took the lead on lap 45 however I was spun out again on lap 50! From the rear of the field I tried to gain as many positions as possible before the fall of the chequered flag. Lap 68 saw me take the lead again but I was under pressure from the trucks behind so much so that I hit the truck behind with the finishing line in plain sight and out came the black flag. My win was taken away and I was placed 34th.
My fastest lap of the race was a 32.033. I managed to lead 20 of the 70 laps.
