Algona-April 17, 2010

I started 6th in the heat race and finished 2nd. Since I am second in points I had to start in the 11th position. The car ran great and I finished in the 6th spot.

The quality of the competition is extremely tough this year and I feel very fortunate to be able run well.

Algona-April 10, 2010

Since I had a win the first race, I had to start 6th in the heat race. I ended up finishing fourth, which was good enough to make my qualifying starting spot.

After making a few changes to the car between races, I started 11th in the feature. It was a rough race with lots of 3-wide racing. Usually with me sandwiched in the middle! I ended up finishing the race in the 6th position.

Algona-April 3, 2010

First night of racing in Algona for the 2010 season. I started on the pole for the heat race and ended up finishing a respectable second.

I had a good draw to start the feature in the third position. After the second lap I had taken the lead. I was fortunate enough to be able to hold the line on the bottom and not allow any cars to get around. I held off the pack til the checkered flags flew gaining my first victory in the IMCA Stockcar class.

Picture above is from victory lane. My number one fan is holding the trophy.
