Round 19 Michigan International Raceway, Carfax 250

Michigan Super Speedway was home to round 19 of the series.

This high banked oval which boasts speeds of 153mph in the corners is one of Nascar's fastest tracks.


The race weekend started off with the mandatory 10 lap practice session. I was 5th with a time of 41.498.

Qualifying next and the question was could I get further up the grid? The answer was no as I could only manage 14th with times of 41.601 and 41.542.



The race turned out to be something special for me - no black flags. I managed to move up to 4th before pitting for fuel on lap 35, the others pitted on lap 43.

I made my way up to 2nd before there was a very late caution period. When the race restarted there was only 2 laps remaining.

I managed to make the pass for the lead on the very last lap of the race. A good race with a deserved win at he end.

I led 2 of the 56 laps. Another win and another giant step towards the championship.

My best time of the race was 41.486 my fastest of the race weekend.

I was now up to 5th in the standings.
