Practice went well finishing 2nd in the first practice and then 1st in the second practice. However qualifying was a different story. Nick was in the front to qualify and noted when he came in that the track was completely different. As did other drivers that qualified up in the front. After qualifying Nick ended up 9th. With a good roll by Gruppen, Nick got put on the poll for the race.
Heading out for the heat race with no changes to the car since the car was good.
Joe and Joel watching on:)
Nick taking the lead in the heat race.
Nick ended up taking the lead in the heat race and one his first heat race this year.
I have videos of the feature however I don't have them uploaded yet so I just get to tell you that Nick also won the Feature Saturday night. He started on the poll and took the lead from the start. His lead was getting bigger with each lap until the caution came out on lap 23. Only 2 laps left and Nick's lead from gone. Nick and #36 Smith battled for the lead and Nick came out ahead in the end for his 4th win this year. It is amazing to think that our goal at the beginning of the season was to finish top 5 of points and have at least 1 win. We are in the top 5 for points and we have 4 wins. We have truly been blessed this year. Thanks to all the sponsors, family, friends, and fans. The support has been amazing and we truly appreciate it.
This is Nick's lead before the caution came out in the feature!
