The latest round of the championship took place on the high banking of the fastest superspeedway of them all, Talledega.
My record on the superspeedways is not good so I was pleased with my first ever fastest practise time of 53.019.
As usual for a super speedway I qualified down the grid in 25th with a slightly slower time of 53.466.
I adopted the same tactic as last series when I stayed where I was in the pack until the cars thinned out somewhat which allowed me safer passage through the pack.
By lap 32 of the 33 laps I had reached 11th my highest ever position in a super-speedway race when disaster struck. I received the "FUEL EXTREMELY LOW" message and had to pit. No other car in the race ran short of fuel!
I rejoined to finish 36th (last).

I have now dropped out of the top 5 (6th) 494 points behind the leader.
My fastest lap time was 52.854 my fastest of the weekend and the first time I have broken the 53 second barrier..
