36 GARRETT MARCHBANKS
5TH 250SX EAST (6-4-5)
Garre Marchbanks had a solid night
in Arlington. "I was hoping to ba le
more with those guys at the front, but I
didn't put down the best starts and had
to work my way up," Marchbanks said.
"Even coming through traffic, I was able
to get in some really good lap mes, so
I need to make it easier on myself and
try to get some clear laps at the front."
54 JORDON SMITH
13TH 250SX EAST (4-20-14)
Jordon Smith had a tough night despite
showing good speed. Unfortunately for
him, he spent too much me on the
ground. "To say I got beat up out there
today would be an understatement,"
said Smith. "There were things that
were just accidents, and then there
some that seemed to be inten onal. If
I took away the me on the ground, I
was happy with my speed and had two
out of three good starts. I can't dwell
on the bad, but I can learn from it."
