Husets 6-22

Sometimes you're the ping-pong, and sometimes you're the paddle I guess.  Tonight seemed to be our night to be the ball, and so were alot of other people!  It was one of the strangest nights I've been around in a long time.  It seemed like everyone was driving a little over their head in some moments.  We started the heat race in 4th spot, and managed to win the heat after a caution.  The draw was a good one for us, and we started second row outside in the feature.  We were held up to a point behind the car that started in front of us, but started to make our way to the lead pretty quickly.  We dove under the leader on about lap 4, but he had other ideas and came down spinning us to the infield.  Jody did a good job of keeping the car going, got on the push off lane in 3 & 4, came back onto the track and smacked the wall with the right rear in a bit of frustration I think.  We had a red 4 laps later and found the wheel was bent pretty badly, and had a hole in the wheel itself letting air blow out of the tire at a small but steady rate of speed.  We decided rather than give up our position and changing the tire to try and slow the leak down more (which worked slightly for a little while), and give it a go.  Jody did a fine job after that and passed the leader a few laps later and going on for the win.

I'm proud of all our guys and team for the hard work and level heads last night.  We could have easily been torn up pretty badly last night on two occasions.  Not once did anyone feel the need to say anything to anyone, or go complaining to someone about what happened.  I wish people would take notice of those things sometimes, along with the performance on the track.  Racing is racing, and things will happen on the track.  We need to race each other all year, so why not try to get along?  See ya at the races!

"Racing is Racing" but, Jodie needs to do that and make sure he is clear before he pulls up or down on someone. It seems that is the only way he can pass is if he "hits" his opponents. Last I checked that is not racing. I have heard more bad comments on Jodie driving than any of your drivers in the past so, keep that in mind if you want to be a "fan favorite"! His attitude is poor.

why not have your other driver try driving the car at huset's once and see how he does, lets see if he might be able to give somebody else a chance to win a race this season.
