// First race of the season with the new #34 GOOD as GOLD !!! A lot of newness to adjust to but it felt good. Spent a bit of time going over everything to make sure all was tight as the car got shook down. The car was fast and the fueling was really dialed in. However, the night ended up being a heart breaking π kind of night. What could have been.
26 Wingless 600's signed in
π‘ HOT LAPS: 6th fastest
π’ HEAT: Started 6th β‘οΈ Finished 6th .. Made it up to 4th but unfortunately got caught up in someone else's mess sending Abel to the rear. Restarted in 8th and finished in 6th place making the last tranfer spot to the A-Main π
π‘ FEATURE: Started 17th β‘οΈ DNF (scored 16th)... Abel ran a phenomenal race charging through the field. He went P17 to P6 in 5 laps!!!
Even with the steering column coming loose during the race, Abel raced smart and hard. He confidently made his way up to 3rd and the white flag flew. As he headed into the final turns in 3 and 4 Abel got collected in a pile up with the lead and 2nd place car that got into the back end of a lap car. It was a heart breaking finish π!!! Oh, so close to crossing the finish and taking the checkered flag in a 3rd place podium finish. Instead he got towed off the track. Racing circumstances are often completely out of your hands and this was one of those sad situations.
