The latest round of the championship took place on the high banking of the fastest super speedway of them all, Talladega.
Qualifying on a super speedway is not one of my greatest strengths so I was glad to be quickest in practise with a time of 52.993 .
As usual for a super speedway I qualified down the grid in 20th with a slightly slower time of 53.028.
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 17 of the 38 laps I had reached 15th when I received the "FUEL EXTREMELY LOW" message and had to pit. To make matters worse I got caught speeding in the pit lane and had to do a drive through!
I rejoined and set about catching the pack. I hadn't gone a lap down which made my task easier and this was borne out by the fact that I took the lead with 7 laps to go.
Another win!

I have now extended my lead at the top of the table to 211 points.
My fastest lap time was 52.353.
