Snyder nearly breaks track record at season finale

Vertech Motorsports traveled to Berlin Raceway for the last race of the season. Very excited and looking forward to the night, problem free. The night started with hot laps, and the setup on the car was just what they were looking for. Pumped and ready for the night, Snyder and the blue 22 car went out for qualifying and put down an extremely fast time of 12.84, just .03 sec off of the track record. Next up was the heat race. Snyder started in the 6th position and the car didn't handle the best leaving him in 6th place through the remainder of the race. Slighty disappointed with the heat race, Snyder and the team were ready for some change in the feature. Starting in the 10th position, and having the fastest time, Snyder had an awesome start and in the first 2 laps went from 10th to 7th and was ready to keep moving up when a yellow flag came out. On the restart, Snyder went from 7th place to 4th place in the matter of the lap, in exciting fashion when Derek took the 07 Ryan Litt and the 26 Jeff Bloom three wide along the back stretch. During the feature, the car became loose and hard to control. Snyder held off the 07 Jeff Banyas and held his position in 6th place until lap 27 when he finally lost it and spun out in turns 3 and 4. Track workers told him he was spilling oil all over, se he decided to pull in. Coming to find out, he was not spilling oil on the track and ended the night in 12th place. Now it's time to regroup and prepare for next year where the team hopes to have a lot better luck. In less than a month Snyder will be leaving for South Africa where he will have 4 races.
