Wow, were do I start? July 20th, Tri County Motor Speedway. We qualified 4th and quickly moved to 3rd, the race car got real tight and finished 6th. Which brings us to last weekend, a fantastic night it was. Twin 50 lap races on the schedule for Friday night. The first lap of qualifying is how you start the first race and the second lap the next race. We would start the first race 3rd and the next race 2nd. We ran 16.25 and a 16.16, Travis Swaim ran a 16.23 and 16.13. We missed our first pole by .o3 of a second. The green drops on the first race, we moved to 2nd and closed in on the leader quickly. We drove under the 21 of Swaim for the lead and then we made hard contact, sending the 60 machine heading for the inside wall. We lost several positions and bent something in the front end. We were done for that race, but still had one more to go. Starting 2nd, we were side by side with the leader by lap 3 and finally cleared him by lap 9. Great racing, we lead to the checkers. It was a great win, dedicated to my brother. Thanks to crew and family for their help and support. RBR will be back on August 3rd to defend, come on out and join us, till then God Bless.
