Guys...
I just ran my first-ever race on Hawaii tonight...and won!
25 laps at Martinsville; 70*, no wind. 5 drivers.
Qualified second at 97.287 mph. No yellows/damage/pace lap.
Took off; two guys got around me in the first turn, but they wrecked on the
backstretch. I go around them; chase the leader almost the whole way.
20 laps in, I catch the leader; he's stuck behind one of the guys who
wrecked earlier. I get up on his bumper, and play with him a little.
I get up under him and race him off of two with about two laps to go. I get
into the back of him going into three, and got him loose. I grab the lead and
the win. it was...AWESOME...! Almost had to not race Martinsville; nobody
wanted to run at first. But we got people, and had a hell of a race...!
