21 - It
was a sunny day that turned into a long day, because Josh and Kerrie had gotten
married the night before, then Josh arrived at the track early for practice
as the Hooter's Cup race was also being run that day. Josh practiced and
the car was off but it was from the two different compounds of tires.
Once they put the sticker tires on Josh was up to his normal speed. Josh
was 5th out to qualify and ran a 21.000 good for fast time. The team
opted to take the challenge and start dead last out of 20 cars for a
$1200 bonus. Josh felt comfortable with his point lead so he chose to do
it. No heat races were run and the feature was after the 250 lap
Hooter's race. Josh started 20th and slowly worked his way into the top
10. After lap 25, Josh was stuck behind 2 cars running side by side.
Once he cleared those 2 he picked off a couple more spots and finished
with an impressive 5th. after the race Josh said, "I was trying hard to get
there but traffic played a role. I was happy with the finish and gained
points over second."

14th - A day of opportunities
was in store for the team today. Josh was asked by John Nutley to drive
his second late model. The team agreed and Josh was going to run the
second practice session. Josh took the mid am car out and was turning
some fast laps when the car slowed mysteriously off turn 4. Josh thought
the transmission had locked up. The team brought the car back into the
pits and checked everything over and ran the car through the gears and
it seemed to be fine. Josh then went over and hopped in the late model.
Josh took the first few laps to get used to the car and ran 5 total
laps. On the 3rd lap up to speed Josh turned a 20.36 and brought the car
in. Josh went back to the mid am car and scuffed in the qualifying tires
and only put new left side tires on the car. Josh ran a few laps and
brought the car in. Josh was first out to qualify in the late model and
ran a 20.19 good for 8th quick. In the mid am he was last to qualify and
ran a 20.879 good for fast time. Josh wants to thank Carl, Butch, Jason,
Matt, Mike, Lynn, Kerrie and Jennifer for being able to drive the car.
"Every week they give the best possible car ro drive and to race
with a great team." One other person he wants to thank is John Zap.
"Without his horsepower we wouldn't be where we are." The late
model Josh started in the back and finished 8th. In the Mid am heat Josh
started last and finished 5th. Josh ran 10 laps in the late model
feature and pulled off finishing 17th. Josh started 5th row inside in
the mid am feature and worked his way up to 5th on lap 3 and got into
the back off the 17 car and spun him. Josh restarted 17th and on lap 10
was working on 5th place when he got spun and hit by a slower car. Josh
went to pit road to have the damage fixed. Josh restarted 15th and
worked his way up to finish 6th.

7th - The team went to
work over the
week to correct the brake issues and corrected them. Josh went out to
practice and was turning some fast laps on old tires. He said that he
was still having some brake trouble. Josh qualified 2nd quick with a
20.876. In the heat Josh started 5th row inside and worked his way up to
finish 5th. After the heat race the team chose to change the front brake
pads and put a new set on. Josh started 5th row inside and fought hard
to work his way through the field and finished 3rd.
