CARNAHAN TURNS THE PAGE AND TAKES 2 STEPS FORWARD

“ We needed this, and again we get to go home and test some more” said Jason as the Irving Oil Marketing / Carnahan Motorsports team finished the best run of the year at the high banked speeds of Riveside Speedway. Carnahan was noticed and reminded of the hard work paying off as the practice board posted a 15th quickest out of 28 cars in the last practice session only 1/10 of a second off of veteran drivers such as Shawn Tucker and Lonnie Sommerville. “ lap times that close to those guy’s gives us a great boost for the fans, the team, our sponsors, and myself. I knew we would start to catch on.” said Jason with a smile. The practice session, qualifying and the race showed great forward direction as Jason ran with the field maintaining the lead lap and gaining positions, until the end where the respectable driver made room for the leaders who were running for the win. “We could have fought a little harder to maintain the lead lap but it may have been at the cost of wrecking someone and the leaders, we need respect from the experienced guys and when we want it back when it’s our night we will have it back” said Jason. “We closed the rookie chase gap tonight and still may have a shot at it. I cannot thank Irving oil Marketing enough for staying buy our side, our program is only going to improve from hear on in” said Jason with confidence. The team was smiling as well as they know that as a team they are all getting to win as the improvements show for the #55. Next up the largest and toughest challenge for Jason and his crew as they begin preparation to qualify to get into the Peterbilt 250 speed weekend in the Geary woods of Fredericton NB. It will probably be the largest field of qualifying cars to get into a race in Atlantic Canada. See you there….
