Coming off of the heels of a disappointing 40-lap event, the Mad Dog Motorsports (MDM) team did not get a chance to rebound Saturday, June 26, because of heavy rain moving into the area just prior to the start of the race program.
On Saturday night, June 19, Jake came off of his first career win, looking to make it two in a row. That proved to be quite a challenge, however, when the 19-year old driver was unable to avoid several accidents in front of him, causing two flat tires and broken suspension pieces.
"It was a tough night tonight The car was not as good as it was in the week prior, but there were a lot of wrecks tonight and we tried to sneak through them, but just couldn't get by unscathed. One time we tapped the wall, bending some stuff in the rear, giving us a flat, and snapping our spindle. The other time we had a slow leaker when we were forced up near the wall, which is probably where something sharp cut the tire."
The end result was a fifteenth place finish. With the June 26th rain out, the team will now have an extra week to ensure that the car is prepared for competition. MDM's next race will now be on July 3. Post time is 6:00pm.
