I'm stoked for this week's race. We're heading to Memphis - the birthplace of the blues, the home of the king. What's not to like?
Memphis Motorsports Park is a good old fashioned short track. There's going to be a lot of bumping and banging, and a lot of guys knocking each other out of the way, but I'm going to do my best not to get caught up in that. It's easy to lose your temper and lose your focus. That's usually when wrecks happen, so I'm not going to do anything that will risk knocking our fenders off. It's like Dick Trickle said, "If you want to finish first, first you must finish." Hopefully we won't be a part of all the craziness that ensues.
Qualifying is going to be key this weekend. Every winner of a truck race at Memphis has started in the top-10. All but one of the winners have started in the top-five. No matter how good your truck is, it's going to be tough to make up track position. I don't think that will be a problem for the Ergon team, though. Our average starting spot is getting better each week and we should be pretty good in Memphis.
This weekend could be our breakthrough race. We've been close a few times, but haven't quite sealed the deal. With a little bit of luck, this could be our time to shine.
I hope to see all of you at the track. I'll be taking advantage of the barbeque restaurants on Beale St. when I'm in town, so come join me if you're around.
Thanks for your support.
