Round 15 - Talledega Super Speedway


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..
