    Congratulations to Lawren, Shawn, Jim and the rest of the Dash For Cash team on a great runner finish in Great Bent. I look forward to seeing a very strong outing in Topeka next weekend. Best on luck.

    Thanks guys.

    We had a little luck this weekend too but after the Las Vegas deal we needed a little luck.

    Won't be attending Topeka, I have a business commitment I can't get out of.

    We were planning on attending Brainerd but when I called to pre enter today they informed me that I would only get car and two crew. I have a silver card and thought that silver would not be charged. Must have been wrong. I have decided to not run for points now, don't see any reason in it. We'll try and stay close to home to get our minimum grade points and pay the money to run Nationals next year.

    We did have fun though.

    Nothing like a little high drama Lawren and Shawn! Getting bumped in the final qualifying round, bumping your way back in, then going to the final round on Sunday. It sure was fun to watch!

    Sorry to see you won't be in Topeka or Brainerd. Rusk or Bandimere? I'm working all four. Five racing weekends in a row, don't know if I can stand it. ;)

    Now the big question. Where in the heck were you pitted in Great Bend?¿?¿? I walked the full length of that runway twice looking for you guys!

    We had a great parking spot. We were parked next to the staging lanes behind the Force team. The rig is 82ft long and they didn't want us hanging out in the traffic and asked us to park out of the way. We were able to park in a way that blocked the wind for the most part. Sorry you couldn't find us.

    We were really looking forward to the Brainerd race, but I just can't drive 3000 miles round trip and run at a track that doesn't want my car there. We will be in Denver if work permits. We really enjoy the Bandimere race and Sherwin Williams would like us to attend as well.

    I'm not going to tell you that we were not just a little bit worried about getting in on that Saturday night run. Shawn did a good job driving the car because I sure didn't have the tune up right.

    I guess we will see ya in Denver.
