Since I last wrote two weeks ago we’ve travelled over 5,000 kilometres, I’ve driven three race cars and still put in 12-hour days at the race shop when we are home.
I had an 11th place finish at the Nashville Fairgrounds and we went straight from there to my second Nascar start at Bristol Motor Speedway. There I finished 20th out of 30 cards. It was a huge day in a new car with new tires and team. I did great and got approved by Nascar to run some big tracks this season.
I am currently writing this column from the front of the car hauler between practice sessions in Salem, Ind. We will be back here to race this weekend and I couldn’t be more excited.
My life has become a traveling race car driving dream. I spend all my time with my crew chief/driver coach/mentor and mostly best friend Tony Blanchard.
Things are progressing so quickly and I get to drive so much more often than I ever have. We are adding some more Nascar races to our already jam packed ARCA racing schedule. I know I made an awesome decision to get down here and I can’t wait to see what the final result will be!
