Finally got the street stock out last night and I must say, I surprised myself! The car felt good in practice but was pushing just a little in the corners. We left it alone for the heat race anticipating that the track would change. The track did change a little and the car handled better. I opted out of my third starting position and started in the back because it was my first race in the new car. The race was uneventful and I passed a few cars finishing in 7th. There was no semi-feature so I made the feature, starting 14th. The race started and before there could be one lap completed, there was a 4-car pileup in front of me. I avoided it and there was a complete restart, moving me up to 10th. I stayed in the top 10 all night with the highest being 8th. I ended up finishing 10th, a lot better than what i was expecting.
