Well, I am very excited to say the least. I am so thankful for this opportunity from Wallace Motorsports. I really have to thank Diatta for making this happen. It’s been a few years but I cannot wait to get to the track. This is the complete package here. The NTX.3 is very high quality, I am very impressed. With Ielasi engines and Hot Race tires it’s going to be a fun year! So far I will be attending the remaining Midwest Series races, The Great Lakes Challenge and the ROAR Nationals in Toledo.

Alabama Manufacturers Shootout 10.0 – Report

The annual Alabama Manufacturers Shootout was held in Cullman, Alabama last weekend. Widely known by the acronym, AMS, is an indoor race that’s like no other due to the smooth surface and 1/10th clay like grip. With nationals just around the corner, the AMS10 was a perfect warm-up race for many traveling pros and great racers alike. The split practice schedule was probably the most talked about topic of the week as the split practices allowed some drivers to practice on Thursday while the remaining group was able to get on the track late Thursday and half of Friday. There are definitely positives to doing either, but most of the pros opted to run the 2nd practice that allowed them to tune for more race-like conditions. One qualifier ran on Friday evening with the final two qualifiers on Saturday followed by lower mains to decide bump ups. Ten cars went directly in the main while five cars bumped from the lower mains which made racing purposeful and exciting up and down the field.
