FULTON MOTORSPORTS WEEKLY RECAP
Richmond, Virginia | Race 3/32
When we started practice we were dead last on speed. We were able to post a time good enough to get us into the race in practice. We just needed to execute in qualifying because there was no room for error and with no points to fall back on it's a pressure cooker.
My plan on qualifying is usually lay down a "safe" lap on the first lap to get heat in the tires and then put down the "money" lap on lap 2. It worked well in Rockingham because I was able to execute. I goofed at Richmond. I overdrove turn 1 and had no chance of getting back to the time needed and did not qualify.
Part of me wanted to restart the session but I'm riding this one out. Just know I should have been in that race. The next 3 races are at tracks I'm not too confident in Atlanta, Darlington and Texas so I was needing this race to get some points for us. We have some tracks this year where we can run good so we have to capitalize on those tracks. I feel Richmond was one of those but I messed up the lap.
