I was on good form and feeling confident of a good result at the very fast Las Vegas Motor Speedway when the trucks arrived on 21/10/2013 for round 14 of the series.
The 10 laps practise session went very well as I was fastest after the 10 laps with a time of 32.731.
Qualifying was slightly disappointing as I could only manage a time of 32.721 which gave me a 3rd place starting position.
This race could have been a disaster for me.
My troubles started when I forgot that you couldn't pass any cars before the start finish line. The result a black flag meaning a drive through penalty. Coming in to serve that I was caught speeding! Another black flag, another drive through penalty. With only a few laps on the board I was already a lap down.
By halfway I had clawed my way back to the front however I'd hit a few cars on the way and so soon after taking the lead I was given yet another black flag resulting in yet another drive through penalty.
Having had the halfway on fuel warning I decided to make my pit stop for fuel with 20 laps to go.
I drove as hard and as fair as I could and by some miracle managed to finish 4th!
My fastest lap of the race was a 32.741.
I stayed on top of the championship however my lead was cut to 181 points.
