The new season begins

May 8th, Capital City Speedway. The seasons first race was held Friday May 8th for the Giant Tiger Race team. We had a very successful preseason test a few weeks earlier. Paul started 6th and within 2 laps was leading. Paul stretched the lead out to 7 car lengths before a caution flag came out with 1 lap to go. On the restart Paul got taken out on the backstretch and spun in front of the entire field. Thankfully Paul missed the walls and all of the other competitors as they all had to take some evasive actions. A very disappointing first heat. In the feature Paul started 8th and ended up finishing 3rd with a wounded race car.
