Well that was⦠something
Melvin Langley
#28 Quality Preowned Super Stock 4 Cylinder
Melvin pill drew a 31 placing him starting 2nd in the heat race. He had a strong start in the heat race but around he went in turn 4 and ran hot after coming to a stop, ending his heat race early.
His finish in the heat placed him starting 14th in the main event. A strong go in the feature and got up to a top 10. He held his position there for a while but Cricket did what she does and ran hot again ending his night with 5 laps to go. Melvin coming in early made him fall back 2 positions finishing 12th.
Some work to do in the shop this week on Cricket to figure out how to get her to perform like the team knows she can. But overall not a bad night for Melvin and Cricket.
Cole Langley
#29 Tidewater Energy Pure Stock 4 Cylinder
Cole had an interesting night in store for him. With the rain that came through at the last race he didnāt run his feature so he ran a heat race and 2 features Saturday night.
Cole pill drew a 72 placing him starting 6th in the heat race. Cole went into the heat race knowing he didnāt want to mess anything up with him having to run 2 main events Saturday night. However that quickly changed and he ended up sitting on the dirt berm (pic included below). Which was the end of the heat race for him and placed him finishing 9th.
For his first feature he started 3rd and it was looking super promising for a top 5 finish, but then the car overheated and he had to come in early finishing that feature 13th.
For his second feature he started 17th and all was going well for him until we heard the announcer say āthatās a caution in a cautionā and Cole was sitting sideways on the other dirt berm. Another end to the night for Cole finishing his last feature of the night 14th.
Not how we were hoping to finish the night but at the end of the day things couldāve been a lot worse so we thank the Lord for safety and replacement parts.
A shoutout to the team for all their hard work on both Melvin and Coleās cars! They were on it from the time Melvin came in with his motor running hot and Cole with a broken rack. We also had some help from one of our competitors and we appreciate them stepping in to help us get back going!
A moment for some āthank youāsā because after Saturday night they are definitely due!
Thank you County Line for providing a place for us to race locally, thank you to all our help Saturday night, thank you to all our sponsors, and thank you Jesus for answered prayers! Weāll see you next time at The Line.
