in both starts, but if there was
anything to improve today it'd be
being able to take the lead on
that opening lap. Overall the day
was good and I'm happy with
that. The track got rough and it
made trying to push forward that
much more challenging. I try to
win every race despite a large
points lead, but you still have
to be smart and make the right
choices. Sometimes you just

and ended up third, which was okay.

but we had a 3-3, which is okay after
the weekend before in Budds Creek.
