Round 3 UAW Dodge 400 - Las Vegas


I was on good form and feeling confident of a good result at the very fast Las Vegas Motor Speedway when the Sprint Cup cars arrived on 12/11/2014 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 32.377.

Qualifying was slightly disappointing as my better time of 32.307 only gave me a 14th place starting position.


This race could have been a big disaster for me.

It was another fuel induced set of problems for me today.

I received a black flag on lap 30 for dangerous driving.

I stopped for fuel and tires on lap 32 and then started to fight 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 81. With 12 laps to go I still had a chance alas I could only manage to fight back to 17th place.


My fastest lap of the race was a 32.401.

I was now leading the championship by 27 points.
