Snyder captures a top 5 finish at Angola Speedway

The Vertech Motorsports team traveled to Angola, IN. to cap off the long labor day weekend Sunday. 31 sprint cars were in attendance so it looked like Snyder had a lot of work ahead of him. In hot laps Snyders car was good, but a bearing in the rear end came apart so the team missed the second hot lap session trying to replace it. Brian and Robert worked tirelessly to get Snyder on the track for qualifying and they succeeded. Snyder was able to qualify 8th quick even after missing the second hot lap session. In the heat Snyder started 5th, and had a good run going until he got into a car in front of him and broke a brake line off. With 31 cars, he would be forced to run the B-main. Starting in the second row, Snyder would be able to hold off for a 3rd place finish in the B, putting him in the feature. Shortly after the B-main a rain delay would hold the race off till almost midnight. Snyder had to start 7th in the feature, and had a great start coming off of turn four. The first two starts were no good because of cautions. Brian and Robert made great adjustments on the car, it was handling great. Snyder battled with Bloom, Lower and McCune the entire race and was able to pull off a 4th place finish. A great way to finish the weekend, and gear up for the next race. None of this would be possible without the help of Brian, Robert, Deb, Papa, and the rest of the crew, so i’d like to thank all of them for sticking with me through all of our problems
