Preparing for the Long Stretch

Hey everyone. I hope you’ve had a good couple of weeks. The trip back from Las Vegas was pretty good. We ran into some weather though around Flagstaff, Ariz., which was a little unexpected. It was snowing, but fortunately, the roads were just wet. We did loose a hubcap somewhere between here and there too, so let us know if anyone sees it! The hardest part about coming back from a trip like that, besides trying to catch up on rest, was getting our poor car out of the hauler. We had a pretty good run going there in Vegas, but we caught the raw end of a restart with 30 laps to go. It was an encouraging race though, so we’re excited to get back racing.

We have a couple of weeks off here and my main focus is rest and relaxation. We will be testing next week though, but it will only be a day trip. With the help of my co-driver, we are going to work to get the hauler ready for the long stretch of traveling ahead of us. With the exception of the two weeks we are here in Charlotte in May, we will be on the road racing every weekend until September. That’s a really long time and we want to make sure everything is in top shape.

Well, that’s about all for now. Make sure if you see the No. 16 Con-way Freight hauler out on the road that you give us a shout. See you all in Bristol!
