Long Race Weekend Recap!
INAUGURAL BARNEY BARNHILL MEMORIAL
The 602 that could!
Went to Southern Raceway this weekend and ran with the 604s.
Qualified 8th in group B Saturday out of 15 cars. Started and finished 8th after some good racing in the feature! That locked us in to a 4th place starting spot of Heat 1 for Sunday, ran 4th the whole Heat race which would have locked us in the last transfer spot into the race until contact on the last lap caused us to spin and got us credited with a 7th place Heat finish. Unfortunately that put us starting deep in the B main trying to transfer and with bad weather coming the track went into hurry up mode and we had little time to get ready for the B, had to get the drivers door off the left rear and change the tire where it was cut. Started 7th in the last chance race and wound up 6th which luckily locked us into the last spot of the feature! Made some last minute changes to the car and started 24th in the big show! Drove the car up to 16th place trying to keep our nose clean and was making good progress until bad luck struck when we got bottled up around the inside wall and the car behind us jumped the left rear and shut the motor down and cut the brake line. Decided to stay out and ride at the rear until the leaders were catching us so we pulled in!
Super proud of the car we had this weekend, and the help we had to get us out on the track all weekend. Can’t thank Larry Lambeth, Tracy Lambeth enough for the continued support and all the behind the scenes work they do to make this possible! Big thanks to Dalton and Coby for the help Saturday night, and then Sunday night we were so rushed we couldn’t have made the call without the help of Dalton, Tyler Merchant, and Gage Hagan!
