What a day.
The day started out great with Josh turning fast time with a
20.940 the only car in the 20 second bracket.
In the heat Josh started outside 3rd row and worked his way to
the front and passed the 5 car on the inside cleanly, I stress
cleanly. The next lap the 5 car hit Josh going into turn 3 and
Josh did a remarkable job saving the car from wrecking. The next
lap as Josh took the white flag running the outside the 5 car
deliberately spun Josh and put Josh head on into the wall. The
car was damaged badly. Josh was towed off the track and the crew
surveyed the damage. Many other teams came down and began to
help and worked for the next hour and a half putting the car
back together. The car looked like it wasn't even wrecked for
the feature.
Josh started 5th row outside and rode around for 5 laps to make
sure everything was ok and then began to charge to the front. By
lap 17 Josh was up to second battling for the lead. The 33 car
began to leak fluids in front of Josh. Josh was sliding through
the turns and hit the front stretch wall trying to hang on. On
lap 21 Josh went to the outside and took the lead and went on to
win the feature. Josh wants to thank Bill and Tommy from Bill's
Speed Shop, John Nutley and his crew, Mike, Richie, Kevin
McCann, Tom, Kevin Ramey and his crew.
It was an amazing sight to see everybody pull together and help
us get back out and win the feature.
Thanks EVERYONE!
