Round 3 - Atlanta Motor Speedway


Round 3 of the series took place at the very fast Atlanta Motor Speedway in Georgia.
I started off the race weekend with a very satisfying practise session, where after my 10 laps I was 5th fastest with a time of 31.684.

Qualifying went even better for me as I qualified on pole with a time of 31.624.


In the race I found myself in the lead after the first of the 52 laps.

Fuel consumption was the important factor in this race. On lap 23 of 52 I was informed by my pit crew that I was halfway on fuel. Now 23 is less thanhalf of 46 so I decided to pit with 15 laps remaining. I managed in the remaining laps to pass a few cars and finish 13th.

The question is why yet again did no one else have to stop for Sunoco fuel?

I ended up in 11th place in the overall standings 118 points behind the current leader.

I led 28 of the 52 laps which got me the 10 bonus points.
