I felt bad for Beard so I decided to go red to him in the semi's.
Good thing, I was toast... any number of times this weekend! This was one of the luckiest races I've ever had, and I know it. I looked at those win lights several times going down the track - couldn't believe it! We race with mostly the same bunch of people all the time, but there's just something about winning a national event more than anything else. My voice is still a little rough from screaming all the way down the track and up the Pro return road. I'd won three in Canada, but hadn't gotten it done in the States before, so it feels even better, plus a couple of reps from a new sponsor, CAM2 Blue Blood Racing Oil were at the track, so it was great to win with them at the track! Special thanks to Tim Sloan for a great motor... just freshened 3 weeks ago, and already have two wins. Duck Tape, Mickey Thompson, K&N, Beardon Oil (Sunoco), Bradley Auto Parts, Macy Motorsports, Billy Nees Race Cars, my dad and many others have had a hand in keeping me on the track, and I can't thank everyone enough.

Good job beard boy, I'll be looking to get some revenge if I qualify for the runoff at the end of the year.
You'll be there, dude. Have you been worse than semis yet??? Not bad for a rookie.

Great job to Lee Truell. Looking at the numbers when I got home, that was Lee's race... what a great job all weekend long!
