Hello!
Finally back online after a very busy weekend at Daytona International Speedway. Just after 1:30 pm on Friday Afternoon our 2010 CKS Autosport Chevy Camaro along with 32 other competitors took the green flag for the Florida 200 race. It was a very busy stint in the car as I dodged cars spinning, blowing engines and avoiding debris on the track all while trying to gain track position on the track. I managed to work my way up to 10th place at one point from my starting 15th. Unfortunately I had to avoid a car that had spun in the middle of the bus stop and took a detour over the rumble strips/ grass. After this unfavourable maneuver the car seemed to become loose and wanted to spin, all of a sudden I heard a loud thud and felt as if I had a flat tire. I came into the pits for the team to check out the car and perform our mandatory drivers change. Eric Curran jumped behind the wheel and our team realized that we had a front broken sway bar. We continued racing and managed to cross the finish line in 14th place. We are very happy with this considering our unruly broken car. We could have had a front-runner but it is a long season!
The 2011 Florida 200 race with be televised on SPEED channel this coming saturday, Next up we will be racing at Homestead Raceway just outside of Miami. Florida
Stay Tuned
