Grant County Speedway 8/1/09

Tonights feature was the best race I have had in my B-mod career to date. The feature saw me and Brandon Wilson running nose to tail the entire race. There were a few times coming off the turn I though I was going to hook his bumper I was that close to him. With two laps to go I dove inside of him in turn 1 and we raced side by side down the backstretch together, but he got the lead back, so for the last lap I just followed him through turns 1 and 2 to try and gain some ground then I made my move coming in to turn 3. I dove underneath him, and tried to slide up a little to get him to either get off the gas or just second guess his next move which would give me enough momentum to beat him to the line. I was just ahead of him, but we were both fighting for position and our front tires touched causing his car to jump a head up the track. I was worried he was going for the wall, but I heard him get back on the gas, so I did the same and we had a drag race coming out of turn 4 to the checkered flag. It was a photo finish, and Brandon just edged me out at the line, but he ran a perfect race and deserved the win. I was more than happy with a 2nd place finish that night, the car still had the miss in it from the night before, so once we get that fixed we should be pretty tough to beat.
