Fontana Race Recap

Fontana was a success of sorts, K-Auto was able to get both cars into the show with Brian qualifying in the 31st position and finishing 29th. Had a bit of a hard run, actually running out of gas in the early part of the race but they managed to keep the car clean and move on to finish the race putting the #26 Dodge in 26th position in the owners points.
Dennis setzer quailifed the # 96 Dodge in 21st position finishing the race in 42nd having to pull off with problems with the car.
The team will try to qualify both cars again for Las Vegas and will continue to push to get the #26 locked into the top 30 in owners points guaranting the car into each race based on owners points and not having to qualify on speed.
Things are looking good and the team is staying positive for the season, once the car is locked in they can concentrate on a more competitive race set up with the car and compete at the front of the pack where Brian and the team deserves to be.

Here are some links to photos of the race.

Daytona Success!!!

So the K-Auto crew had a successful weekend in Daytona, Brian qualified mid pack and finished the race in 25th place despite getting spun out in a turn and flattening his tires. Brian came back and kept in the race to outrun some of the best competition in the series. Daytona is always a gamble and you can easily get caught up in the big one but Brian stayed clean and is well on his way to securing the # 26 car in the top 30 in owners points. If he is in the top 30 after the first 5 races that will secure the car a guaranteed starting spot and will allow the team to concentrate on getting the car "race ready" and not just set up for qualifying. This will make Brian and the car more of a threat to the big boys than ever. We'll get some pictures posted soon and Brian is already in California now gettin ready for the Fontana race.
Big thanks to Cajun Industries who stepped up at the last minute to help Brian in Daytona with some sponsor dollars, Cajun has been helping a lot of drivers in different series and we thank them for their support in Daytona.

Already in Daytona

Brian had some practice sessions in Daytona on Thursday, ran pretty good too!

First Practice session Brian was 30th and second session he was 36th.
Having to qualify on speed Brian is looking pretty good since a lot of the other drivers that have to qualify on speed are way behind Brian. Let's all keep our fingers crossed for him as we head into qualifying!

Here are some more shots of the car before it left for Daytona with the new graphics.
