RACE 1 COMPLETED

With daytime temperatures in the 70s and a constant breeze, it was a beautiful day to open the 2009 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series season at the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Saturday night's main event was a 100-lap feature for the MetroPCS Super Late Models.

The InfernoMotorsports team started 15th in the 24 car field, Joe waited for the field to get single file and started driving past the cars ahead, the field was slowed by 6 caution flags during the 100 lap race.
Joe was running in the top 10 by the half way point of the race and 8th by the 75 lap mark, Then, with Joe trying hard to catch the 7th place car he spun coming off turn 2 with 17 laps to go.
The race restared with 15 laps left after Joe was sent to the rear of the field,
Joe came on the radio and said " sorry dad the driver just ran out of talent"
so, my response was " then drive it like you just stole it from me" and Joe did!
With 20 cars left running Joe drove from 20th to 12th in the final 15 laps.
Great driving job Joe!!
The next race is in 2 weeks.
