The Fast Lane: Surveying the damage at Charlotte

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Seems like the shorter our race day, the shorter the blog.

One qualifying round was rained out, but other than that it was a routine semifinal finish for us. The effort kept us in the lead and 30 points ahead of our nearest competitor, Ron Capps. Indy was the last race before they reset the points for the Countdown.
