The last race before the Banks Nationals did not go well as said in previous post. Hot laps we were diggin and caught the car ahead of us and didn’t fall far enough back when disaster struck in 3 & 4. Moment the car set in the corner, the car ahead spun and I couldnt avoid the impact.
Another huge apology to Trevor LaBarge. I feel bad as he has some major things to fix on the front of that car.
So far we have everything in the rear to go through and straighten as best as we can to finish the year. Somehow it even broke the tab to the battery box and it’s just wedged into the rest of the frame.
Was able to thrash and get out for our heat race and got caught up in another car spinning in front of us that bent the front bumper over.
Fast forward to trophy dash time. I wasn’t planning on running it to give us more time to try and fix what we could; however, someone 
came and asked for lineup purposes and mentioned we were starting on the front row. My racer brain instantly said we have to at least try to make something positive for the night as the LR was just hanging on for dear life. So I went out and somehow was still as fast as lap times earlier in the night and won. (Thanks Jeremy Means

Felt great for the main even with all the bent parts we had and was excited to get it going. Unfortunately the oil pan we had just repaired blew another hole and started leaking again. Decided to start the race and see how far it would last and pulled off after 5 laps to not hurt anything.
Sucks but that’s racing sometimes. I feel amazing on how far we’ve come with our program and just hope to get things dialed back in enough to make the race on the 9th. We’ve had bad luck before in the big events so I know how fast it can go sideways.
