Was an interesting race night! Mike qualified 8th fast with a 17.846 and with an 8 car invert, started the race on the poll position (1st place). He lead the first half of the race, in fact with a five car lead! A caution tightened up the field at that point. Soon after, the 2nd place car was catching up, got a little close coming out of turn #2 and spun Mike around causing him to hit the inside wall. Mike stayed out for the 3 counted caution laps then came into the pits for hood removal. He came back out and looked good, but the car started to overheat and he left the race with 5 or so laps remaining. So, we got last place...total bummer. Hopefully our luck is about to change!
Next race is the 26th and it is the Washington 500 - should be a good time!
We are off this weekend to celebrate our 1st Anniversary - time flies when you're having fun! Mike won't tell me where we are going...he's so romantic! Love him!
PITA!
