This past Sunday was a special day for me.  Our first annual Bowling Burger Bash, presented by Z-Line Designs, took place at Woodland Bowl and almost 200 people showed up.

 

To have so many people supporting me is flattering and I can't thank everyone enough who showed up.  It seemed like everyone had a really good time, and I personally enjoyed hearing everyone laughing and enjoying themselves.  A big thank you to Woodland Bowl for hosting the event.

 

We had a lot of celebrities out to participate as well.  Hall of Fame bowler Mike Aulby, IndyCar driver Ed Carpenter, Indy 500 Festival Queen Brooke Dorsett, and a lot of Indy radio & television personalities all came out to lend their fame to the event.  IU cheerleaders were there too, and that's never a bad thing!!!  It was awesome!  By the

It's scary to think it's barely August and I only have two more races left in the USAC Regional Midget schedule.  (Hopefully I'll do more racing than just the two remaining dates but we'll talk about that later.)

 

I ran in Springport, MI this past Saturday, and was glad to get my mind off of everything that took place last week with the car accident.  I qualified second which put me in the "Fast Dash".  The dash was made up of the four fastest cars, and it was only four laps.  We had older tires on our car so we could save our new ones for the feature, and it showed that the importance of fresh rubber because I just couldn't keep up with the other cars.

 

I started fifth in the feature and quickly moved up to second, following eventual winner Bradley Galdridge.  He checked out and I settled

I raced at the Speedrome on Wednesday for the final time in 2010 and left feeling happy with my result.

 

I started third in my heat race and finished second.  I didn't have anything for the leader but the car felt good so I was confident heading into the feature.

 

I drew a 4 for my starting spot in the feature.  I got down into third place at the start and the front two cars checked out.  I knew my car was better on the long run but Kyle Hamilton and Dalton Armstrong were both quick right out of the gate.  Kyle blew up while leading on lap 12 and seeing him pull into the pits gave me extra motivation to chase down Dalton.  He got into lapped traffic and I closed the gap from a straightaway to being right on his bumper in a little more than a lap.  Dalton went low to pass a car

I raced twice this past week; once at the Speedrome and once in Michigan.

 

It was Mel Kenyon night at the Speedrome on Wednesday and I was hoping to grab a win to honor the King of Midget racing and also my crew chief for the past two years.  It was not to be the case however.  I started eighth in the feature and had made my way up to fourth.  After running behind the third place car for almost 30 laps, I finally got around him only to be taken out by a lapped car in the next corner.  I went to the tail of the field and got back to fourth in just enough time to run behind the same car I'd been trying to get passed for 15 more laps.

 

Next up was Berlin Raceway in Marne, Michigan on Saturday.  I was excited to get to Berlin just because it was a new track and I always enjoy racing at new

A successful night at the racetrack is always puts a smile on my face.  There were moments of concern Wednesday night but in the end I left the Speedrome smiling.

 

The USAC Regional Midget Series was back in action at the Speedrome, this time for Tom Bigelow night.  We started off the night with a practice session on old tires.  We weren't that fast but the car felt good nonetheless.  I started 3rd in my Heat race and was confident I would be able to move up.  However, the engine in our car developed some problems and I had nothing for the front-runners.

 

With a fourth place finish in the heat race, I missed the 6 car invert by one position and therefore started seventh in the feature.  This had me a bit concerned especially since the Speedrome is very hard place to pass.  Once the feature
