I was on good form and feeling confident of a good result at the very fast Las Vegas Motor Speedway when the Nationwide cars arrived on 05/04/2014 for round 3 of the series.
The 10 laps practice session went very well as I was fastest after the 10 laps with a time of 32.686.
Qualifying was slightly disappointing as I could only manage a time of 32.658 which gave me an 8th place starting position.
This race could have been a disaster for me.
It was another fuel induced set of problems for me today.
I stopped for fuel and tyres on lap 32 and then started to fisght my way back to the front of the pack.
I was on course to achieve this when I had to stop for fuel again on lap 62. With 28 laps to go I still had a chance. I threw that chance away when the dreaded black flag came out on lap 70. For the next 20 laps I managed to fight back to 10th place.
My fastest lap of the race was a 32.617.
I'd now slipped to 5th in the championship 44 points behind.
