This weekend we raced our first race at Sugar Hill Speedway. My brother made his First Communion Sunday so he was unable to race. I'm going for the championship this year so I had to skip this one. My Dad could not make the race either so we called up our neighbor Dave Pluckett. We arrived ready to go and my Dad had us all set up. We did our first practice and did great pulling completely away and even lapping someone we were happy with how it performed so didn't change anything. Latter we went out for our second practice again we pulled away and lapped someone. After that my Dad had to leave so Dave and I were on our own. They had the longest drivers meeting next or maybe it was just so hot. I think it must reached eight-five degrees out!! It was by far my hottest race ever. We got all set up for the Heat race and we were starting on the pole. I rolled my car out on the track starting to warm my tires. We all got in line the #99 next to me just like old times. Along with the #20 another blast from the past! Then the rookie the #39. We all got ready and got the green flag and I jumped out front first. I made my way around twice but then the #39 gave me a bump and sent me spinning around. Luckily, no one hit me but my chain fell off. To be honest I was really mad but now I realize it happens when your racing for the win and the #39 was just racing for the win like me. They pulled me off the track and I thought I was done. But out of no where Roy Soskin and Shawn Duhaine come and throw my chain on like nothing! I get back on the track and pass the #99 for first and hang onto it the whole time winning the heat race. I was so happy I won and was so grateful to have two guys come and get me out there to win it!!! We met Linda (Dave's wife) at our pit stall and she had come to watch the race and cheer me on. Dave made a few adjustments to the car and we were all set for the feature race. In no time at all it was time we were first division so we got to go out on the track and due the National anthem. I climbed in and we were off. We lined up me in first #99 second the #39 third and the #20 fourth. I got the green and I was off and took the lead for the whole race winning by eight car lengths!!! I was so happy my first race and my first win of the season!! But if Dave and Linda weren't there to help me and support me I don't know what I would have done. I would also like to thank Shawn and Roy for helping that was huge!! We also have a good points start in first. Such an awesome race and our sixth win.
