Keeping Busy During the Off-week

Hey ya'll! Bubba here checking in after a long couple of weeks off. First let me wrap up Memphis... The temperatures soared upwards of 100 degrees so it was mostly miserable. I wish I would have kept track of how much water we went through for the weekend. I'm sure it would have been an impressive number, not to mention the amount of money I spent on ice. Colin brought home another top-10 finish in a truck that was just a little off the mark. It's pretty impressive to note that from Kansas to Memphis we've gone from 19th to 10th in the driver's points. It feels good to have a little momentum on our side.

After a long weekend off for the 4th, which I spent with my family, it was off to Rockingham again. This time we were testing a Nationwide car. It also helps for all of the guys on these weeks off to stay tuned up for the upcoming races. The test was a great success and we learned a lot of new stuff, hopefully to better us in the future.

I spent most of the last couple weeks catching up on maintenance items we haven't had time to do while racing every week. These off-weeks are always a good time to do things like change the oil in the generators, and give everything a good cleaning. Mostly, it’s a lot of busy work, but it usually pays off in the end. This week we prepare for Kentucky, a track where we usually run pretty good. We're taking chassis No. 60, which is the same truck that we ran at Texas to a third-place finish. Other than chassis No. 43, it’s one of the best trucks in our stable. Hopefully Colin and the team will pick back up where we left off.

To answer the question about the Iowa test... everything I've heard from our team tells me that it will be a great race. They've done a really good job building a great track, and the truck race there will no doubt be exciting. Hope everyone has a great week!


Stay safe...
Bubba
