July 16th- Attica Raceway Park (Attica, OH) JHR is finally back in action after suffering damage at the Dream that postpone us for about a month of racing action. 50 cars in attendance for this summer national’s event. I was 9th fastest in group four and had to shake it off and make some changes to the racecar. Only the top four would transfer out of the heat so I had some work to do. After a ten lap heat race I was able to rally my way from ninth to the fourth and final transfer position locking me into the A-main with a 16th place starting spot. I felt like I had a car that could go to the front with the right tire selection and adjustments. As we lined up for the feature a couple cars dropped out in front of me which then started me in 14th. When the green flagged waved I wasted no time and started my charge to the front. I worked the bottom of the race track to my advantage picking off one to two cars at a time. By lap seven I was already up to the seventh place position. I continued to crawl to front and briefly passed Matt Miller for third but fell back to fourth. I followed in line as the racetrack started to move to the top. The top of turn one and two was tricky and if you over charged the corner it was easy to get caught slipping off the banking. Unfortunaly I slipped off the track and lost a couple spots. I rode around in 6th until the final lap were I was spun out from behind and launched out of the ball park. All that hard work was wasted with one final turn to go.
