      The team rolled out their brand new Dodge Avenger after a month of rebuilding what was left after Peterborough.  The hard work paid off as Dave qualified the car in 4th position and charged to the front quickly in the first 50 taking the lead on lap 12.  Dave led for another 7 before Steve Robblee caught him and passed him on the outside of turn 3.  Dave and Steve checked on the field with almost a straightaway between them and the 3rd place car.  A late race caution came out and bunched the field up and Dave was forced to start in the outside groove "the car was a little tight and we just couldn't get going on the outside - i tried to stay with the guys on the bottom but we just couldn't hang out there" stated Dave.  Dave slid back to 6th spot before he could find a hole to slide into and took the checker in that spot.

      The second race Dave ran nose to tail with the leaders all race wrapping up 4th spot after running the outside groove for almost 25 laps when the 27 of Matt Robblee stuck his nose on the inside of Dave coming off of turn 2.  "The car was really good - we barely got the car ready for this race - it was much better then the results showed, we should've had 2nd in the first race - if we freed it up a little more for the 2nd race i'm sure we could've won" smiled Dave.
