Disappointing Night at Lincoln Saturday Night

April 19, 2008
Lincoln Speedway

Still riding the high excitement from the top 10 finish in his Late Model debut, Bob and the team were psyched for the race. In practice Bob immediately realized that the track conditions made the car very loose. After practice the team went to work on tightening the car up. During his heat Bob found the car to be way too tight and he quickly found himself in last place where he finished.

After the heat the team went to work on backing up some of the adjustments made after practice and they prepared for the consi. Bob started 7th in the C Main and he went to make the pass on the 6th place car in turn one. But in turn 2 the steering locked up due to a part failure and he slide up into Bernie Beard ending both of their nights.
