Night # 4 of Western PA Speedweek at Sharon Speedway. A stout field of 40 cars signed in. Qualified 17 of 20 in our group.. Car felt good just didn't have the top side speed needed. Heat race and B-Main was unable to move up ending the night. Even with car feeling great and running the wall like I usually do we just didn't have the speed to move up. We lick our wounds put the night behind us and move on to Night #5 at Tri City.

Night #4 of Western PA Speedweek The one we have been waiting for. Lets see what we can do tonight. Last year we had a 2nd, 7th, 2 DNFs (a flat tire on lap 2 and wrecking after leading 26 laps, and a DNQ (WOO). So we have had some very solid success at Sharon Speedway .

Raceday Recap Night #3 of Western PA Speedweek at Lernerville Speedway. 36 cars signed in.Qualified mid pack, Heat P7 to P5 making the transfer to the A main. Started and Finished P18 passed a few cars but got passed by a few. Not really happy with the night, it was just one of those nights, we finished mid pack because we were mid pack, but 18 other cars wish they got 18th, and 12 didn't even make the A main. We will move on.

Western PA Speedweek Night #2 Recap: Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Motor Speedway 28 cars signed in.. Qualified 13th missing 12th by .006 of a second, which put us starting 5th in heat 1 (If we would have got 12th in qualifying we would have started pole!). P5 to P6 in heat. Feature went green to checkered, I was able to pass a some cars and lappers going +6! P16 to P10. We have very little experience on "big" tracks, this is only my 5th night at PPMS, but Josh and crew really got the car feeling the best I ever felt tonight. In all seriousness I think we are ready to give the Speed Palace a try now, we will have to see if we can find a spot in our schedule this year to make the tow!
