Flat Tire Spoils Carmichael’s Stock Car Debut

Mar 25, 2007

Ginn Racing development driver and motocross champion Ricky Carmichael made his stock car debut Saturday night in a super late model race here at Columbia Motorsports Park.

Under the watchful eye of Nextel Cup point leader Mark Martin, Carmichael finished third in his heat race. In the main feature, he overcame a second lap incident, but on Lap 7 of 25 his right-front tire went flat, sending his No. 4 Monster Energy Chevy into the wall and a premature exit from the race.
