April 17 - Lucas Oil Raceway

April 17th was the first Jeg's Super Quick race of the year! The event was held at Lucas Oil Raceway (formerly O'Reilly Raceway Park) in Indianapolis, IN. The weekend began with rain-outs of the Friday test session and Saturday qualifying, but racing finally got underway on Sunday.

In addition to the Jeg's Super Quick class we also entered Super Pro so that we could make some extra passes. On our first Super Pro time trial we spun the tires very hard and responded by making a shock and time pressure adjustment. While in the staging lanes for our first Jeg's qualifying pass the starter broke and we had to return to the trailer, missing the pass. After a quick run to the parts store we finally made 2 good passes, both without nitrous.

We qualified #25 in the 64 car field.

First round of the actual Jeg's race was Sunday morning without any time trials. Going into the race we had to go one more round than James Monroe to pass him in points. It so happened that Monroe ran his first round opponent just two pair in front of us. This meant that I was looking down the track, waiting to run, when they ran. When Monroe's opponent's win light came on I saw the team celebrate on the starting line, and I knew that if we won this round we would take the points lead. Luckily, we did.

After losing second round (I was dead late on the tree and knew it, I guess my nerves got the better of me) we had to wait until the semi-finals to see how the points chase would end. We finished in 1st place, just 10 points ahead of James Monroe, 11 points ahead of Chris Sullivan, and 22 points ahead of Bobby Small. Read all about it here:
