Thursday Qualifying Race Results
John started in the 4th position for Thursday afternoon’s first qualifying race. At the wave of the green flag he was already up to 3rd place trying to stay with the lead duo but feeling pressure from the #20 car that was in 4th place. A first corner mistake from the pole sitter provided some hope as RJ Racing put pressure on the lead group.
After some unfortunate lap traffic got in the way of the action John was then able to use the traffic to his advantage and grew the lead over 4th place to several car lengths with half a lap to go. A 3rd place finish on day one was something to be proud of.
One qualifying race down, one to go. The action continues tomorrow and the team is preparing to be faster as the week goes on. More to come tomorrow…
