After a win at Deep South on August 1st and a battery failure, resulting in a DNF at Needmore Speedway on August 8thโฆ we made the decision this past weekend to make our first-ever trip to Pike County Speedway in Magnolia, MSโฆ a track we had never been to.
With 21 cars signed in and national points on the line, Taylor started the night by qualifying 2nd, barely missing the pole. Unfortunately, not knowing this trackโs rules and very limited explanation of their rules at the driverโs meeting, Taylor went on, after his final qualifying lap, to miss the infield turn-in and make another slow lap around the track, looking for where to turn in at. He was penalized for this mistake, docked his fastest lap time and was made to start 4th in the feature. We completely respect not bending track rules.
During lap 1 of the feature, Taylor jumped the cushion & fell to 8th. After numerous cautions and working hard to keep his nose clean, he made his way back towards the front. On a restart, he was able to pass for 3rd, and ready to mount a charge for 2nd. Unfortunately, after cleanly passing the 3rd place car, the 3rd place car would drive into Taylorโs right rear, destroying his RR tire and causing suspension damage, ending our night on lap 4 with a DNF. This was a very unfortunate way for CRUSA-points-racing to go, but it was out of our control.
If you would like to see the carnage, check out the YouTube video below! ๐ Our unfortunate night at Pike County Speedway, may have potentially closed the door on our national-points hunt, but we will regroup, fix the car and keep on racing! ๐
Thanking The Good Lord for a safe travel experience there & backโฆ and for watching over all driverโs safety during that caution-filled, wreck-fest of a race! ๐๐ป
