Bobby and the 7w Crew competed for the second time of the season on Sunday night at TCS after a rainout on Friday at Raceway 7. This time, however, the outcome was not as pleasing. After drawing a high pill for the heat race, Bobby found himself tailing the field for the start. But by the time the checkered flag flew, Bobby had raced the car to a fifth place finish and a spot in the redraw.
When feature time came Bobby was placed in the ninth starting spot and in good position to get a solid finish in his Dulaney's Garage/ R.K. Virgile late model. On the drop of the green, Bobby shot the car to the bottom of the track to pick up two positions, but as the yellow flew before a lap could be completed, his move was for not, and was moved back to the original starting spot. As the flag dropped for the second time, Bobby was slowed to avoid a spinning car, unfortunately the car behind him was not as quick to react and slammed into the back of the 7w car doing significant damage to the left side of the car and forcing Bobby to the pits. The crew feverishly worked as the caution laps ticked by and were able to get the car raceworthy before the restart. With Bobby restarting at the tail of the field, he found the car to not be as good after the wreck and was only able to salvage a 13th place finish out of the field of 21 cars.
This week the crew will be busy in the shop readying the car for the upcoming weekend. Hopefully this weekend will be a little easier on the car and crew.
