So tonight (Tuesday night) I got some very good news just before Pit practice started. The Allgaier racing team that won the ARCA championship last season with Justin Allgaier as their driver one on of the teams interested in us at PIT. Last year they took 3 guys from PIT and this year they need 4 for the full season, 2 carriers, 1 changer and 1 jack man.
So just after attendance was taken and as we went out for our warm up coach Adam took 4 of us aside including myself and said after the past few weeks of evaluations they have chosen us to be those 4 guys to work for the team all season. The next race is this weekend in Salem, Indiana and we also race this month in Rockingham and Talladega.
I am super pumped for a number of reasons, but more so that I’m going racing again and it looks like I will have a busy season unless I screw up somehow. I felt like the past few weeks I have done really well and improving every day. We do a lot of video now from a bird’s eye view and sometimes take a hand held camera to get a side view of ourselves out there. I view every video or myself and of others to improve everyday picking up on the small things that save a half a second, which in Racing is a lot.
Second of all they school I’m at is only sending two teams out for the full season, one teams was already determined last January and we were picked together through the past two weeks. So my school is only sending out 2 out of 9 jack man who I am first lucky, thankful and relieved. I’m thrilled that I got picked, but I know that the rest of the guys are working really hard for this too and they are staying home this weekend while Justin (the other jack man) and I will be in Indiana. We all help each other out and push each other every day at time and I can credit some of the guys for pushing me on pit road and in the gym.
So I’m heading to Indiana this weekend and hope to be doing many more races for this team. I know right now that our car number is 36, and I think it’s a Dodge. Our driver is Robb Brent, I don’t know much about him, but my buddy Scott Crews who will be the front carrier said he’s young and ran in 8 races last year, led some laps and almost won a race. So we may be checkers or wreckers, but who knows but I’m looking forward to it, can’t wait!!!
I will kept everyone posted through the weekend if I can, looks like an 8 ½ hour drive through Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky until we hit Indiana. Salem is about 100 miles south of Indy I’ve heard so that gives you all somewhat of an idea where we will be. After the race I will try to get a summary like the one from Daytona telling you all about it. Until then have a great week and wish me luck.
