Round 9 - Michigan International Speedway

Michigan Super Speedway was home to round 9 of the series.

This high banked oval which boasts speeds of 153mph in the corners is one of Nascar's fastest tracks.


The race weekend started off with the mandatory 10 lap practise session. I was 2nd with a time of 41.467.

Qualifying next and the question was could I get further up the grid? The answer was no as I could only manage 2nd again with times of 41.505 and 41.555.

The race turned out to be something special for me - no black flags. I ran in the top 2 all race, mostly 1st. I led 36 of the 45 laps to easily secure all the bonus points. Another win and another giant step towards the championship.

My best time of the race was 41.338 my fastest of the race weekend.

I was still 1st in the standings.
