Sam and crew chief Mike Williams spent a lot of time in Orlando testing last week, getting the car to a race-winning standard. Sam qualified 6th fastest, putting him on outside 3rd row. At the drop of the drop of the green flag Sam settled himself in for the long ride. His patience shone through yet again as he slowly made his way towards the front. After staying behind the 57 car of Joe Winchell, Sam made a pass on lap 35, putting him in 3rd. He then set his sights on the 16 car of Daniel Keene. Sam’s car was running great and got faster with longer runs, gaining ground on Keene fast. Keene got loose coming off turn 4 and Sam got under him, putting him in 2nd. Sam now pursued the leader.
After being overtaken by Sam, the next lap, Keene ran into the rear of Sam’s car causing him to spin, putting both of them to the rear with 30 laps to go. Sam was mad but kept his cool as he started to work his way back through the pack. He made it back to the 9th spot only to be rammed again from the rear by Keene again. Sam hung on and took the car back to the trailer in 1 piece. Unfortunately the officials will not do anything about the goings on, and yet again, Sam was given a raw end of the deal. He was congratulated by almost all of the pits as he had by far the fastest car on the track.
Our next race is back at Bronson on May 12th.
