As usual it seems I had a very good practise session, topping the timing sheets with a time of 33.798.
Qualifying did not go so well as I could only manage a 33.705 which saw me on the 2nd row in 4th place.
It didn't take long for me to move up the order in the race. I managed to hold the lead until I was informed that I didn't have enough fuel to last the race.
I stayed out front until lap 56 when I was sure that I had gained the 5 bonus points for leading the most laps. I then pitted. After leaving the pits I was given the black flag and subsequently a drive through penalty for speeding in the pit lane!
Disaster followed disaster when after my drive through I managed to spin the car before I even rejoined the track. This of course brought a yellow flag caution period.
At the restart I was too eager to pass cars and get back on the lead lap which led me to make contact with too many of them. This led to Nascar giving me the black flag and another driver through penalty for dangerous driving.
I finally resumed racing with a handful of laps left. I tried my best but could only get back to 30th at the chequered flag.
I was down to 2nd in the standings 16 points behind.
My fastest lap of the race was a 33.627.
I led 54 of the 75 laps.
