Thursday June 27th

After getting done putting the front end on the car for the second straight week, Mark just wanted to bring the car home in one piece. Mark stated he put in alot of long hours working on getting the car done and ready to go and didn't want to have to put a new front piece on again. Mark qualified 3rd with a 19.694 which put him solidly in the dash. Dash line up had Mark in the 4th spot and was able to make his way by on the outside to take a 2nd place finish. Feature lineup had Mark starting 13th inside of row 7. Mark made his way through traffic carefully this evening and was able to get passed a bunch of cars, but would lose a couple positions at the fast qualifer came from the back. Mark brought the car home to a 7th place finish in the car. The car was handling well tonight, but it was more of a keep the car in one piece race. Off to Norway for the next two nights.
