Petty Race July 7th….Proved All Our Work After Riverside Crash Was Good….Easy week Now For The IWk250
We worked hard on our car after the June 29th huge wreck at Riverside International Speedway. I hate having my crew come over more than once a week but some did and I appreciate their support very much. Some live an hour away and I respect the cost to travel to work on the car, so one night a week is the norm unless we tear the car up.
he repair parts were over $2,000 but doing the work out selves saved thousands more.
Special thanks to all my crew Shannon Riley, Chris White, Jack Lynds, Bobby and Emily Sanford, Bob Landry, Ray Doucette and Buttons.
We were rained out on Saturday the original date of the race, but it was rescheduled for the Sunday. I was exhausted but wanted to get the car on the track to make sure it was good and after two sets of hot laps we were satisfied the car would be good for Riverside’s IWK250, the biggest race of the year with 28 drivers registered so far.
We finished 8th in our hear race and 14th in the feature. I pulled off on lap 68 because I was down a lap, no chance for the lucky dog, the car was good, I was very tired after the past weeks work and the money was the same from 14th to 9th.
Our next event will be the 250 lap race at Riverside International speedway on July 20th
