Having to baby his gears every time he shifted during the race, due to a driveshaft problem, Speed along with the rest of his crew held their breath throughout the 80 lap race. “It’s a bit of a funny feeling when you’re sitting on a time bomb getting ready to explode,” said Speed. Even with his driveshaft vibrating vigorously, Speed battled back and forth for the lead throughout the race with eventual race winner, Justin Allgaier. RE/MAX Series Championship point standings by 95 points over Matt Carter. “Overall we had a great day,” said Speed. “I was better on long runs and Justin (Allgaier, race winner) was an amazing point’s day, so I am very happy with how things turned out.
