β±οΈ Qualifying : 13th out of 24
π Feature: Start 13th / Finish 20th
Racing is full of highs and lows. Sometimes it's over the course of a season, sometimes it's all in one day. This year it's been a lot of both
We struggled for speed in practice and qualifying. We made a lot of good changes throughout practice to get the truck better than where we started, we just didn't have the lap times to show it
Didn't qualify great again, but another big invert put the fast qualifier right in front of us. We just needed to try to hang with him and work our way through the field
The good news.... we were able to do just that. Made some good passes and got lucky in the right lane throughout the race and we started chipping away at positions. We worked our way up to be battling just outside the top 5 late in the race
The bad news.... while passing for 7th with 3 to go, we got tangled up with the truck on the outside coming out of 4 which sent them hard into the wall. Racing hard we both had our trucks hung out there through the corner. I got loose on exit and my RR kicked out right as she got back down the track to exit. We ran out of room and made contact in a terrible spot, pointing her hard into the sketchy WIR turn 4 fence
We've talked and both know it was just an unfortunate racing deal, but it sucks for everyone regardless when that happens. Both of our good runs were ruined and they've got a wrecked truck. It's part of racing, but so much time, effort, and money goes into this sport and I feel terrible anytime I have a role in someone having equipment to fix. Very sorry to Danielle and the 28 team
Safe to say I probably took us out of the championship hunt without some crazy luck, but that doesn't really change the gameplan on our end. We just need to find the speed we had to start the year and go chase a few more trophies
Excited to head to Grundy next week which was my home track for the past 5 years, followed by the Dells where we had success in the season opener. Hopefully we can get things turned back around to go on a tear these last 6 races
