We brought our highs & lows from WIR back with us this weekend at DRP.
We were hoping this was a chance to get back towards the front after we won the season opener at the Dells a few months back and have struggled bad ever since.
Mechanical issues in first practice sidelined us for the session. This cost us some opportunities to make adjustments and put us in the first group for qualifying. We qualified decent but not great. Hoped maybe we would catch a little bit of luck and catch the invert but we missed it by 1.
We handled good for the first half of the race. Managed our way through some tough battles and great, hard, side by side racing and slowly worked our way up a few spots.
The truck started to get tight after the first caution about halfway through the race, and just kept getting worse from there. We had worked our way up to 6th and think we were initially good enough to get a decent top 5 finish.
The handling got worse for the last 17 laps after another restart, and we dropped all the way back to 11th.
We found the RR tire was about 10lbs soft after the race due to a valve stem core that came loose and was losing air.
We'll set our focus on the double header next weekend at Jefferson for the Wisconsin State Championships and try to finish off the year with a few strong runs.

Thank you to Val, Wheeler, and Chesney for another night of cheering me on and hanging out in the pits. Thanks to the Davitz family for breaking away from your camping trip for a few hours to come hangout at the track & watch some racing! Wheeler & Chesney loved having their racing buddies with them at 2 races in a row.
