Hey everybody. Hope you had a great Independence Day. I didn't do too much. I spent the holiday with some friends and family. I had a little free time that I used to work on my late model car. I put a new front-end on it and I can't wait to put it to the test. Hopefully it'll burn up the short tracks around Georgia.
The last truck race I was in was Memphis. It was a disappointing day. We blew a tire in the first few laps and never could get back on the lead lap. Everyone was beating and banging on each other all day and never had any problems, and we get brushed by another truck and it blows our tire. I guess those are the breaks. It was a fast truck, though. We kept pace with the leaders all race long and would have scored a top-10 had we not run into trouble.
We'll go to Kentucky in a week. That's going to be an awesome race. We're bringing chassis # 22, which was the truck that run so well at Michigan. I love the way that truck drives. It seems to be a good fit with the intermediate tracks, so we should have a good day in the Bluegrass State.
Did ya'll see the Daytona Cup race? Talk about a crazy finish. That just shows that you never know what's going to happen at the superspeedways. You better believe when we head to Talladgega later this year, it's going to be wild one, too.
I'll talk to you soon. Have a great week.
Later,
Marc
