Made another trip to Lincoln this past Saturday night and what an eventful one it was. We didn't get to hot lap because the battery was dead (rookie mistake). We got it charged though and started 6th in the heat race. Got a good start and was able to get around one car, finishing in 5th, earning a decent starting spot for the feature. Started 9th in the feature, my best start to date, and was very optimistic about the race. That all turned south very quick. In turn 1 on the first lap, several of the cars that started up front, got together and caused a big melee in the first turn. The wreck involved 8 or more cars and I happened to be one of them. The right rear tire was flat and due to track rules, we weren't able to change it, thus being forced into a 14th place finish.
