Hodges Motorsports Update - Thunder Raceway

We just finished up the second night of the Memorial Weekend double in Show Low, AZ. After taking the second spot last night, we hoped to improve to the top spot tonight. I pulled pill number 24 which set me on the outside pole of the first heat. On the start, I ended up in second but went on to take the heat race win going away. That set us up to start on the pole of the dash where I finished second. The track was getting slicker and slicker every time the sprint cars went out, but the bottom was still good. In the main, I started in second and fell to third, trying to get in line around the bottom. It was one lane and nobody got off the bottom the whole race, and passing was slim to none. I ran third the whole race and almost made something work using some of the infield birm in the closing laps, but it was still too tough. We had a good car, maybe even better than first and second, but I couldn't get around them on the bottom. Once again we would like to thank the Cabinet Door Store crew: Robert and Sandy for coming out along with Bobby and Joshua Jackson, as well as Mark Rosborough who made the long venture from Oklahoma.
