Hicks Lawn Services truck racing

Sort of just sucked last night. New track (for everybody not just me.) Figuring it out. Setup was off. Track was slick. Tried some stuff. Didn't work. Tried a completely different driving style for the feature. Was better but not pleased with myself or the setup. That's part of the game. Started fifth in the feature. Got trapped on the bottom while the field was driving by me on the outside. Just couldn't merge to get up where I wanted to be. Think I dropped to 7 or 8th. Finally got off the bottom as the field stretched out. Picked my way thru the field. Finished 4th. Was not much passing in any class. The hard charger award in the sprint cars only passed 3 cars in a 45 lap feature. So to pass 4 in a 20 lap feature is my silver lining. Need to take notes. Watch the video. Do my homework. Do better at our next race there.

This track has a 1/2 mile track with a 1/4 mile track inside of it. We ran the short track. At one point I exited the corner, launched the berm, stayed in the throttle, and passed a guy on the straight away of the big track just to get around him. 🤣
