2008 Race Results

March 15th, 2008 - Old Dominion Speedway
George started practice at Old Dominion Speedway with his new car. The car is completely different this year, with a whole new set up. Practice went well and we were 6th fastest on the track. We were very happy with that, now George has to get seat time and get comfortable with the new car. We feel very confident that we have a winning car.

No racing due to weather interference.

April 12th, 2008 - Old Dominion Speedway
George started his first points race at Old Dominion were he qualified 12th. At the beginning of lap one going into turn one the 3rd and 4th place cars got together and started a chain reaction behind them. George was able to maneuver to the outside when the 14th place car hit the outside wall and bounced down into George. The right front tire of the 11th place car hit George's left front tire and knocking the tow out of George's car. George returned to the race. On lap 2 George went into the corner an his steering locked up and he couldn't steer the car too well, the steering kept locking up during the entire race. George fought the steering issues to finish in 9th place with 19 cars still on the track. After the race we found a broken tooth in the steering box that was causing the steering issues.

April 19th, 2008 - Old Dominion Speedway
George qualified for the race in 12th. During the race he worked his way to 7th and was running in 7th
with 2 laps to go and the caution came out. Under caution the 8th and 9th place cars were beating and banging for position behind George. On the restart they got into George while battling with each other for position causing George to have a bad restart where he finished 10th of the 25 cars on track.

Rained Out

May 10th, 2008 - Shenandoah Speedway
After being Rained out at Old Dominion Speedway, we went to Shenandoah Speedway where George qualified 6th.  He started the race an lost 1 position on the start of the race. While setting himself up to take back 6th position George hit water that was weeping up through the track that they were trying to hold at the top of the track with speedy dry causing George to spin on the 9th lap. George went to the rear of the field and took a few laps to get his tires cooled down from the spin and then started to advance forward working his way back to 10th position where he finished the race. There were 20 cars in the race. We felt we did well for our first time at this track. We will be returning to Shenandoah on May 17th to get ready for a big race on Memorial Day weekend. Stay tuned for an updated schedule.
