Not gonna be a big post today but I do want to give a shout out to the folks at Cindy Burdick Motorsports and congratulate them on their first win. Harold and Cindy brought Brad Caddick on as their new driver for this year and he's really gotten them up to speed. Caddick had told me during the off season that he'd found that the K frame was bent on their car and that the rear shock tower was rotted and flexing. So he went right through the car had it reclipped by J&J Chassis, worked with Larry on the new motor package, and has driven the wheels of the thing until they are where they are right now: in the points lead with their first win under their belt! Other quick nods go to Nate Taylor who assumes the number two points position and Pete Kaczorowski who made his debut on the double feature night finishing 26th and 16th. Lloyd Anderson Jr remains the top rookie 14 points ahead of Brent Gleason.
As for my night the good news is that we're finally headed in the right direction with the chassis. The bad news is a few guys showed me how they want to be raced, which is fine because I've got a front bumper too. Like I said on the rookie page contact is gonna happen, but there's a difference between accidental contact and being punted out of 3rd three laps into the race. I got a video to watch this Thursday and if I see what I think I'm gonna see, there may be more fireworks than Thompson is planning on.
1st win for Burdick motorsports!
