When we woke up Saturday morning it sure did not look like a good day for racing. The weather definitely was not looking like it was going to co-operate but the rain held off it was just good and cold. We had a decent practice putting up a sub track record time in the first practice session. We had a decent run in qualifying with a fourth place spot, with a 15.534. In the first heat we had a good race and ended up finishing 4th. The second heat race was a lot better jumping out to an early lead, but with strong pressure from the 74 and the 48 made it a great race and the victory. In the feature we were doing really well till about lap 40, we were in fourth place and the 99 truck came across our nose coming out of turn 4 to send us both into a spin across the start finish line. We managed to stay on the lead lap, but started at the tail end of the pack. After battling through the field we finished in the fifth spot. So after the first race of the year we are sitting in third place in the standings and only 6 points out of first. Our next Super Truck race is on the 4th of July.
