Seen him twice now. Once at the Harris Clash in Knoxville, Iowa. And this past weekend at the USMTS Cajun Clash at Ark-La-Tex Speedway.
The North Carolina racer arrived in Waco, Texas for his first USMTS race just 14 days ago. Two first time tracks, different tire, new series and format. 45-50 cars the first weekend. 65-74 the 2nd one. They do passing point heat races. Top 8 in points redraw for the first 4 rows. 9-12 lock into A. Rest go to B. 24 open qualifying spots in all and 2 USMTS provisionals.
First night, nothing to write home about. Missed the A by 3 spots in his B. Last time he would miss the A in 6 races.
Night #2. Runs 2nd in his B to make the show. A-main finish wasn't great but it's the last time he would need a B-main to qualify in this stretch.
Night #3 and he qualifies top 8, draws the front row and battles for the win for half-the-race in his Harris Chassis. Ends up 2nd!
On to Ark-La-Tex. Never needs a B-main to make any of the As. Makes another top 8 redraw on Friday and his first two finishes here are 9th and 5th. On Saturday, he only lasted 12 laps after starting 12th but he was on a mission for those 12. Knifed through the field up to 6th until incidental contact broke the right front. Watch that black #8 next race!
