Bakersfeild Speedway  4-25-09  ( Grand Slam #2 ).  The car out of the trailer was perfect. The heat race the first lap i was hit by a driver that was not looking far enough in front of his front wheels to see that myself and a other car where together and were slowing down, He hit me in the left side full throttle ( That Hurt ).  My crew and I started to fix the car and Danny Faria and his guys all jumped in and helped, The car was ready just in time for the simi main. The simi the car was awesome I finish 3rd. The main event I started 22nd, The track was a dust bowl and in bad shape, But my car was a rocket, I was picking cars off one by one, I drove my way up to 9th. The car was great, until I hit the cushion out of turn 4, The right rear tire was flat ?, I could not tell if it was something else that broke ?, whatever  the right rear hit the wall and that was it for me. Thanks to Steve Luport and his crew and to Danny Faria and his crew for the hard work putting the car back on the track.  I Hope we will have the car ready for the next race.
