6-30

Friday night Cory and the 39 team were in action at Williams Grove for the URC 360 Nationals. With the event open to the 358 cars, Cory and Mike decided to run their regular deal against the 360’s. Cory timed 10th of the 37 cars there. He started 3rd in his heat on a very fast race track. There was a yellow with two laps to go and on the restart the car behind him made contact and caused them both to spin taking Cory out of a qualifying spot. Cory rallied from the back to finish 7th and get a decent starting spot in the B main. In the B main Cory started 6th and finished 2nd to get in the feature. The track was still fast so little changes were made to the car and Cory lined up 22nd for the start. He used the low groove for a few laps to get to the top ten by halfway. After a yellow Cory moved to the cushion and was really on a roll. The laps ran out before Cory could catch the leaders but after quite a show he ended up with a fine 3rd place finish and the Hard Charger award for the night.

On Saturday, Cory and the 11c team went to Lincoln to start speed week with the Kevin Gobrecht Memorial. A slight bobble on each time trial lap hurt and Cory timed 26th. He started 7th in his heat and finished in the same spot. The car was not feeling right to Cory so Mike made some changes and Cory lined up 6th in the B main. He advanced to 4th and got in the feature. Cory lined up 24th to start the feature but his night ended on lap four with a broken drive line. He was credited with 23rd at the finish.

This weekend the team will continue speed week with both shows at Williams Grove on Thursday and Friday. Cory and the 39 team may make an appearance at Lincoln with the 358 on Saturday. See you there!!!
