2012 oval races nearing end of season

The ARCA OK Tire Series continues to be one of the most competitive racing I have ever done

Congratulations to Ryan Sorenson on his first Main event win earlier this year. Ryan is on top of the points in the Street Stock division, with three races left. He is battling hard to win his first points championship with the help of Mark Salden, who put his first season on hold to crew for Ryan.

My season has had its ups and downs with the loss of crewmember Ken Rhodes, which hit the team hard. But we will battle on in his name.

The ARCA OK Tire Series continues to be one of the most competitive racing I have ever done. This makes for very tight racing. Having been spun out early in the last two races I had to come from the back of the field to top 10 finishes (hard work). Presently I sit in fifth place points with two races to go. Next race will be in Agassiz on Aug. 11.

I appreciate the efforts of my crew. They gave me a very fast racecar this year that is fun to drive.

Thanks to all the Clearwater fans who follow us. It’s great to see you at the races.

See ya at the track.
