JUST SURVIVED A WHOPPER STORM @ CECIL COUNTY

To back track a bit-we went to Atco a couple weeks ago & struggled. We did not qualify for the first time in four years & the entire team was pretty disappointed. But we shook it off & headed home to get prepared for Cecil County this weekend. We arrived at Cecil early this morning for testing & we were able to make two passes. The track is very green with not much rubber on it & we shook the tires first run.. Second pass was better with a 5.75 which isn't bad for the track & weather conditions we're experiencing. We should be in a good spot for qualifying tomorrow. Had a severe storm this evening with marble size hail, heavy rain, wind, thunder, & lightning. We're all fine but our trailer awning didn't make it. It has served us well for a number of years & the fact that it was old & probably fatigued didn't help. I guess it's time to invest in a new one.

Everybody is in good spirits & looking forward to a super weekend of racing. Crew member Joe Mitchell wasn't able to make the trip due to illness. Hope you're feeling better soon Joe!

Well, back to work for me. Hope you'll all check facebook for updates throughout the weekend & don't forget, we'll have the pit cam up & running too.

Have a great weekend & see you at the races!
