Team Crown: Finally some racing in the area

Finally some racing in the area

It's about time the weather straightened out enough for us to get some racing in the area. We were pretty good at Husets last night, and pretty lucky as well. Starting outside the first row of the heat race, we managed to get a decent start and win decisively which gave us the 3rd row inside starting position for the feature. That's where it gets interesting. The first lap, the car starting in front of us (which we dove under going into the first turn) spun causing a big pile up in turn 1 and 2. The restart saw us starting outside second row, and inside of 2 laps Jody was able to make his way to the lead. While passing a few lapped cars, one of them spun and almost collected us. It was a nice piece of driving on Jody's part and he kept from getting the car tore up. It looked as if we were going to have some pretty stiff competition as Cody Hansen and Casey Abbas were coming strong mid race. Following a few cautions, we stayed out in front for our first win of the season (hopefully not the last). It's always nice when you can get that first win under your belt early in the year to start everything off on a good note. Nice runs by the two mentioned above, and they're going to be ones to look out for as the year progresses.

Next up: Jackson this Friday with Travis Whitney driving, and most likely Husets again with Jody. See everyone at the races!
