This story is a month in the making. On April 18th we drove to Clarksville, TN to race the annual $2,000 to win race they have there. Qualified 2nd, Won the Dash, and then 6 laps into the A-Main the rain came. They rescheduled the event for May 16th. It looked like rain may play a part in the event again, but William and his crew do a great job with the track and the surface was in fine shape.
In the $2,000 to win feature I was on the pole so I got a good jump and had a very good car. It would pretty go where I pointed it. I didn’t just run away with the race, as there was some close competition from Joe Miller and Derek King, but we had enough in the end to seal the deal and win the race. I'm extremely proud to say that this is the 5th consecutive year that I've won this particular race. I thought winning last year for the 4th time was special, but this one is truly special considering the way others have stepped up their programs and the racing is much tougher these days. My crew and I pride ourselves on a well built and well presented race car. Its hard enough to win big races once, much less 5 time in succession. See the old articles 2008 , 2007 , 2006 , and 2005 .
I was trying a few new items on the car this weekend. ARS Shocks had sent me some new spring bumpers to adjus t on, and I had a new left rear shock bolted on which worked out very well. A few weeks back Joe Conroy of Conroy Pneu Control Bleeders  called and asked if I’d be interested in trying some of his bleeders designed for micros. I jumped at the chance, and broke out my old bleeder tools from the sprint car days. I haven’t run bleeders for a while now because I just never liked the regular style kwik-change bleeders as I’ve had issues with those sticking in the past on the sprinter. These new bleeders however worked like a charm, and allow better control of the tire pressures. I am impressed with the quality of this product. Also Mark at Indico Pty Ltd provided us with some very cool crew shirt to wear, providing advertisment for our supporters and allowing them to look professional at the same time.
Of course I have to thank all the companies who support us through the year. Stallard Chassis, FTZ Engines, Accurate Machine Works , Keizer Wheels, Holthouse Farms, Xtreme Graphics, Fire Service Plus, ARS Shocks, Killer Coatings, Clayton’s Body Shop, Perry Farms, Senter and Son’s Gin, motorstands.com, Stren Flex, Intense Fabrication , Mettec Bolts, RaceBumpers.com, Ringers Gloves , ButlerBuilt Seats, Braille Batteries, Saldana Race Products, Conroy Pneu Control , Indico Pty Ltd , Raceseng Design , and Indy Race Parts and Aim Sports.
I have feel like we have a good combination with engine/car and other manufacturers. I can’t wait to get  my new car ready to race in a couple of weeks. Mark, Dave, Kevin and the Staff at Stallard Chassis have once again raised the bar this year. The car looks great and the build quality and parts fitting have worked out wonderful so far. Also FTZ has another bullet for me that I have to pick up next week. I have decided that I will have to skip the Race-4-Life in Sweet Springs, MO, my real job will not allow me to be gone much next week. However we are still on for the ASCS2 Speedweek as well as the PA Speedweek .
