This weekend was not a good one in the books for the 18 car; Started off the weekend in Greenbush, heat 1 row 3 on the inside. The car was only able to make 1 lap before having to pull of the track. Thinking the car was getting too much fuel, swapped a few things around in time for the feature where the 18 car would start row 7 inside. Unfortunately the 18 car was only able to make 2 laps this time before pulling off the track again. At this time we are suspecting...more
