Great Job In Phoenix WRE!





"David outran runner-up Nick Lynch (No. 29 Mr. Gas Dodge) on a green-white-checkered finish that concluded the event at the scheduled 150 miles. Jeff Jefferson (No. 42 MJ2 Racing/Gran Prix Imports Chevrolet) edged Brett Thompson (No. 61 PetsBest.com/Windmill Inn Chevrolet) for third place. Rookie Jeff Barkshire was fifth in the No. 46 Centennial Batteries/SPE Dodge." - NASCAR.com

SECOND PLACE! Sam says it's been a good week and he sounds like he's enjoying himself. We are still braced for what next week may bring though.

Congrats to our friends Jeff Jefferson and of course Sam's former team, Barkshire Racing. Jeff B had some serious car troubles and still pulled off a great finish! WOOT! Sam will be in AZ until Monday, so he's spending some time helping the Barkshires get their cars ready to head to Texas. I'm sure there will be pleanty of play time too!

I'm so proud of Sam. I got to watch the race on TV and I've never seen Nick race that well and have a car that handled that well! Way to go Sam! Yet another testament of how good he really is :) I hope he has fun with The Barkshire's, I just talked to Shelby a minute ago and it sounds like they are having fun :)
