      Couple of quick race updates from the month of May.I raced at Haubstadt Indiana on May 8th (my birthday), it was a POWRi show. I had a good run in the heat race and started outside the front row, but could never gain any edge on the leader during the race and finished 2nd. Slightly disappointing, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Two weeks later we venture off to home turf and race at I-30 Speedway for a local show there, mainly just to try some of the new things I've learned this season on a familiar surface. I made quick work in the heat winning handily, and after starting on the pole I lead every lap en route to my first win of 2010.

      Next up was the big Race-4-Life held in conjunction with a POWRi show at Belle-Claire Speedway in Belleville, IL. There were 67 cars in attendance and it was a 2 heat race (one heads up, one inverted) passing point system. In the first heat I started 7thand finished 4th, in the second heat I started 2nd and finished 1st. This put me 14th in points for the event. Only the top 4 were locked in so I had to run a semi the following day. I started that in position 5 and finished 3rd. This gave me 10th starting spot in the 30 lap feature. I picked my way through the field and ended up 4th, just didn't quite have the stuff to get the lead, but was a decent finish on a track I can't say favors my style too much. We had fun and it was for a good cause. Wade at Keizer Wheels did a great job putting it on, and the POWRi crew do an awesome job running a top rate program. Congrats to Felker for taking the victory.

     Up next is the big POWRi money week which starts at one of my favorite tracks, Granite City, on June 11th. I hope to have my new car ready in time to tackle that big track. Stay tuned.
