Paul Mcmahan on the team’s Upand down week in the plains:
“We’ve been trying to debug a new car that we debuted at Knoxville and we’re still battling it. It’s just a matter of figuring it out, but it’s been a rough road for the past few races. It either wants to be all right fronted or to be completely laid left. There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground. It’s been a challenge, but I know the guys are working on it. In Sedalia, were stuck in the middle and couldn’t get the car to handle right. It was a handful.
“When we went to Dodge City over the weekend, we split the event down the middle. On Friday night, the car was better and we ended up fifth. I got a good start in the dash and was able to pass several cars at the beginning to finish fifth. In the feature, it was a one-lane race track and we maintained to get another top-five. On Saturday, we missed a little in qualifying and the car was up on the right front in the heat race. “
” We got through the feature with a decent finish. It wasn’t where we would have liked to be at the end. I’m looking forward to heading to these four tracks up north this week. I think we’re going to have a good shot of getting the Bass Pro Shops car back to victory lane along the way. ”
FAST FORWARD …
