Jobes Hot Rod Shop- Eve of Destruction 8-23-08

This Week we were the Fast Qualifier with a 17.45 sec. run. With the invert we started in the back. The Fast heat race was only 6 laps and the #38 car started out front and held on to win, we finished 3rd. The Main Event  our # 81 car  was fast but was pushin'  a little. We started out, at the back and had to work my way thru traffic but by lap 6 we were in the lead. The #77 finally caught me around lap 15. I was holding him off and the caution came out with 3 to go because of a wreck. At our track we have double file restarts and they put a cone out and you get to choose if you want to start on the inside or the outside. Of Course being in the lead I started on the inside and the #77 picked the outside. The #77 is a great driver and has a lot of horsepower, but I think I have a better set-up. On the restart I drove it hard into turn 1, with him right next to me, my car stuck, his didn't and I took the lead in turn 2 and drove my line and he couldn't get around me. I ended up with my 3rd win of the year! One of my sponsors who hadn't been to a race all year and was so impressed he said he wanted his name on the whole side of the car next year!  The points results arent up yet........if I'm not in 2nd yet I'm alot closer than I was.



Til next time, Benjer
