Friday Fastrak – Rained Out

Saturday Stateline – Heat 5th. On what was the roughest track we have ever been a part of! After some track prep from Muncie & Schwartz Excavating the track was better, but still really rough. Feature – Started 14th. After an early spin in a monster hole while on the move and up in 6th spot, Team 17L would now restart 23rd. Dennis would work the high line and charge back to 9th at the line. The seat time we are now getting in the SLM is starting to show up, better things to come.

Sunday Eriez – Heat – 5th. Feature – Started 14th. This track can really trick you. The track in the heat race was a sheet of ice, with no bite at all. Team 17L made the call to run not one, but 3 hard tires on the Carter Lumber, Schwartz Construction rocket. This time we were right on with the call, but the track was now down to one grove so passing was at a minimum. Dennis kept the car in one piece and brought it home in 13th spot. The team used Eriez Speedway to work on things we have never done with the car. We feel this will help us later in the year … time will tell.
