Team Crown: Weekend Results

We had the kind of weekend you wish for going into a 2 day show. Good (lucky) draws put us on the front row of both heats we raced, and we managed to win both of them. Although Monday's heat was a little interesting. We broke two jacobs ladder straps (the jacobs ladder is what hold the rear end in the car side to side), and got into the wall pretty hard, but were able to keep going and managed to hang on. Sunday night we started outside the front row, and completely missed the setup. We're extremely fortunate that Jody was able to drive well enough to hang on and win that race. Casey Abbas ran us hard the entire time, and ran a heck of a race. It was nice to see him battling us hard, and I'm sure in the near future he'll be standing in victory lane once again. Monday's feature is more of what I imagined we should have been able to do the first night. The track was pretty rough, and really tricky to maneuver with it being so slick up to the cushion. I was pleased that we were able to run to the front after starting 8th, and felt a little redemption after Sunday's race. Scary crash of the night was Cody Hansen in the feature getting turned into by a lapped car. Not a good thing, and the car was pretty messed up. Luckily he looked fine in the pits after the race though, and I'm sure they'll be back in full force next Sunday.

You know, when it's going good in this deal, it goes good. When it goes bad, it can go really bad. We're just lucky to be going pretty good right now. That being said, once again we're hearing the cheating rumors, and it's all over the message boards I see again, which is fine. I'll stand by my statement last year....if anyone wants to put up the $500 protest fee that ASCS has, they can check it out all they want. I can save everyone the trouble and the money though, because we're 100% legal. 'Nuff said I think. Hope to see everyone at the races again!
