Saturday 8/2 - Mike WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it was another EXCITING Saturday night at Evergreen Speedway! We had a double header to make up for a rain-out earlier in the season and we got off to a bad start. Mike broke a spindle in the first race in the first 10 laps and did not finish - getting last place. The crew worked hard to replace the broken part in the time between the first and second race. They had to use one of Jeff's older spindles, which didn't really go with Mike's setup, we were all hoping he would at least get to finish the race with it. The saving grace was that Mike had fresher tires for the second race since he didn't use them in the first. For the second race there was a 12 car invert and since Mike qualified 4th fast, that put him toward the back of the pack at the start. Once the green flag flew we could all see Mike was on a mission! He made his way to 1st position before lap 10 of the 50 lap race! He held the lead the rest of the race, made his way past lapped cars and all the way to victory stage!! It was his first win ever in the super stock division. He had a lot of fans there to greet him as he accepted his 1st place trophy. Definitely a night to remember! Thank you to everyone! Dad, Luke, Chad, Andy, Troy for all your hard work on the car! Ryan for all you do for us!! Jeff for trying to hold Mugge off! And everyone else who was there to support Mike!
Look at Mike's feet...
