Round 18 - Texas Motor Speedway


Round 18 took place at one of the fastest tracks on the championship circuit, Texas Motor Speedway.

The race weekend started well as I was fastest straight out of the box in practice with a time of 33.698 after the mandatory 10 laps.

I was a tad slower in qualifying but still managed to claim pole position with a time of 33.877.



The 66 lap race was not another fuel disaster for me. From the dropping of the flag I led for 22 laps before causing a yellow flag period by spinning out. I decided at that point to pit for fuel. With 5 laps to go I was back in the lead. The pressure was lifted when all the remaining cars stopped for fuel. Another win.



My best lap of the race was a 33.591 which was my fastest of the race weekend.

I led 45 laps.

I was 1st in the standings 282 points ahead - the Championship looming!. I was now guaranteed a top 4 spot with 2 rounds to go.
