Atlanta

Here are a few shots from Atlanta from thehotap.com, I'll have more updates on the race and how it went down later this week. The team is getting ready for the upcoming weekend in Virginia!

Battle over the Border

It was Brian Keselowski's first road course debut and it was a tough one for sure. Having never been on a road course Brian did his best to get the # 26 2XL/Fischer Honda car around the track without incident and he got out there for qualifying. Unfortunately mechanical problems took Brian out of the race early but Michael McDowell who was running 4th in practice in the # 96 Dodge had a decent qualifying run and during the race was as high as 4th place driving a car that was originally built for a speedway! Brakes were heating up but he held on tight, despite a last minute spinout that put him back to 28th position Michael took the K-Auto Dodge back up to 11th position within the last 20 laps.

Congrats to the team for qulifying and running 2 cars at Montreal!
