Round 4 - Atlanta 300

Round 4 of the series took place at the very fast Atlanta Motor Speedway in Georgia.

I started off the race weekend with a very satisfying practise session, where after my 10 laps I was 4th fastest with a time of 31.542.

Qualifying went not very well for me as I qualified seenth with a time of 31.567.

In the race I found myself in the top 2 after the first of the 88 laps.

Fuel consumption was the important factor in this race. On lap 27 I was informed by my pit crew that I was halfway on fuel. Now 27 is less than half of 88 so I decided to pit with 61 laps remaining. I managed in those laps to pass a few cars and get into the lead before having to pit again on lap 81 for fuel!.

I did manage to claw my way back up the field to finish 13th.

I was now in 5th place in the overall standings 84 points behind..

I led 9 of the 88 laps which got me the 5 bonus points.
