It took most of the week to undo all extra character the car received last weekend - beating out body panels, replacing bent shock mounts, etc...
Also changed the direction with carb choice to see if we could eliminate a stuttering issue we keep having.
Loaded her up shot down to East Alabama Motor Speedway.
Practice she seemed tight so had to free her up some went out qualified 4th she wasnt to bad made few fine tune adjustments and finished out 3rd.
On to the next one

P6 ➡️ P4 🏁

Got trapped in an early pileup with nowhere to go—beat up the right side and deck, but they make hammers for a reason. 🔨

The crate car finally showed us some fight tonight. Best it’s felt all season, and we’re starting to find what she wants.

We’ll straighten the body, sharpen the setup, and come back hunting.

Big thank you to everyone who helps make this happen, family, friends, fans, and everyone who comes out and packs the stands.
