On

Brent
was
going
for 3rd
when he
was spun
early in
the race
and
after 10
laps the
Benjamin

team was
2nd. At
the half
way mark
we were
still
2nd but didnt
have
anything
for the
leader.
With 30
laps
remaining
Travis
was 3rd
and
still
struggling
so we
made a
pit stop
to try
for a
shot at
the win
but the
team
would
come up
short.
Brent
would go
on to
finish
6th and
Benjamin
was just
behind
Brent in
7th.
Next
week we
will

lot of
work to
do to
get up
front.
In the

had to
qualify
in the
consi.
After a
win in
the

first
caution
we moved

quickly
