9-1-08 Kevin makes debut at Dillon Motor Speedway
Kevin made his first trip to the Dillon Motor Speedway in Dillon SC. After posting times in the top 3 in practice sessions, Kevin had a stumble in qualifying that put him deep in the field. Once the green fell he cut his way to the top 5 by lap 15. With his sights set on the top 3 he was hit from behind and spun in turn 4. With only 10 laps left in the race, and restarting 16th Kevin would have his work cut out for him to get back to the front, but in tradition he was able to climb back to the top 5 and would end up finishing 5th. It was not the results he was hoping for, but was pleased with the finish, knowing he had missed the setup, as the car is prepared for a trip to Florida at the end of September for 4 races in 2 weekends. Check back to see how Kevin fares at Orlando Speedworld, Charlotte County Motorsports Park, and New Smyrna Speedway.

The team rolled into Watermelon Capital Speedway in Cordele Ga on Saturday looking for a win and found one. Kevin had the car handling great but a carburetor problem created a misfire that looked to jeopardize Kevin's chance of winning. The car did not run as well as it should have but Kevin was still able to lead flag to flag to pick up his first win of 2008 early in the season. The win is also Kevins first at WCS. This will be good momentum for Kevin as he looks to turn this into many more wins at other tracks across the south east along with WCS.
