What a fever dream. This season has been absolutely demanding, mentally and physically. There have been so many points where I've just wanted to give up and throw in the towel. It seemed every time we made one step forward, we would take two steps back. The biggest thing that kept me going was the small glimpses here and there. Not many people saw them, but when things were going right, there were glimpses from within our team. We just kept saying if we could get a race to go our way, we would have a career day. Going into the dirt races we knew we would have a good run if we could just finish, but we did more than actually finish, we competed. For the first time this season, we actually felt a part of the upper-pack battle, fighting for the Lucky Dog, trading paint and throwing slide jobs. Attrition always plays a huge part of these races, but rarely are we able to benefit greatly from it. But yesterday was different. We were actually able to find ourselves in the lucky dog spot when we needed it most, got back on the lead lap and kept putting ourselves in a position to succeed. We know we'll have struggles throughout the rest of the season, we know we probably won't have another run like this all season, but for one day, for one race, we can say we felt like we competed. For us, such a small team with such a long history, to be a part of it week in and week out has been an awesome experience all year long and I'm excited to have this entire team behind me. I appreciate every single person that has been with us throughout my career and this awesome journey. It means a lot to see so much support, even through all the lows. It really does a mean a lot to me, and I appreciate it greatly. We're going up to Madison International Speedway this Friday, looking to put together some last second sponsors and help keep the good runs going.
