So Far, So Good

We're only three races into the season, and I feel like I've already learned a ton.

The competition in the Truck Series is unlike anything I've ever been up against. There are guys that have been driving longer than I've been alive. There's definitely a long learning curve in this sport. I knew that going into this year, but it didn't ring home until I hit the track. Learning how the air affects the truck and how it handles in traffic is going to take some time. The good news is that I'm learning from the best. Following guys like Ron Hornaday, Jack Sprague, and my teammate Kyle Busch around the track is a learning experience alright. They've been a huge resource.

Don't get me wrong, I'm real proud of what this team has accomplished so far. Thirteenth-place at Daytona. A top-20 at California and a top-25 in Atlanta - pretty good stuff. We're sitting 19th in the point standings, only 40 points outside of the top-15. Not bad at all. There are a lot of teams behind us that have been around a lot longer than us. I guess sometimes it can be frustrating because I know we have huge potential on this Ergon team and I know we have it in us to win races. We're better than a top-20 team and I just want to prove that to everyone.

I really think it's just a matter of time before everything comes together and we show what we're made of. Yeah, it's going to take some time, but we're committed to it. You can bet on this, the Ergon team is going to do whatever it takes to win races.

Thanks for your support.
Later,
Marc
