Here comes Speedweek ...
6-26

The Barshinger 39 team competed at Williams Grove Friday night in a regular point show for the 358 division. With handicapping in effect Cory started 9th in his heat race and finished a strong 3rd to make the invert for the feature. The track was starting to get pretty slick during the 410 race so Mike made some changes to the car and Cory lined up 10th for the start. He charged hard early and had just made the pass for 3rd when a yellow was displayed on lap six. The restart proved crucial as Pat Cannon slid past in the second corner. With their cars pretty equal Cory followed him to the front but could not mount a serious challenge and took the checkered in 2nd spot.

  On Saturday at Lincoln, Cory and the 11c team lined up 4th in their heat and were running in a qualifying position when Cory lost the handle and spun in turn two. He restarted in the rear but could not get back to the top six. After making some changes to the car for the slick conditions, Cory started 3rd and finished 2nd in the consy. The team would now start 20th in the feature and decided to make some major changes from what they had been doing all season. The car seemed much better right from the start and Cory had advanced to 12th when Cody Darrah made contact with him and they both spun. With only a few laps left Cory again restarted in the rear and finished 22nd. Not a good finish but very promising results from the changes.

This weekend Cory will again be at Williams Grove for the 358 point race before returning to Lincoln for the Kevin Gobrecht Memorial and the start of speed week.
