The latest round of the championship took place on the high banking of the fastest superspeedway of them all, Talledega.
Qualifying on a super speedway is not one of my greatest strengths so I was glad to be 2nd quickest in practise with a time of 53.349 .
As usual for a super speedway I qualified down the grid in 24th with a slightly slower time of 53.207.
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 23 of the 38 laps I had reached 1st 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 29th.

I have now dropped out of the top 3 (4th) 54 points behind the leader.
My fastest lap time was 52.868 my fastest of the weekend.
