eighth place finish. Angola Motorsport Speedway, located just south of the Indiana /

a decent finish. Just hope to keep getting better as we go into Berlin leading the rookie
points." Stated the soon to be 20-year-old (On July 31st). "We're making progress each
and every time out and soon we'll be contending not only for top fives and top 10s, but for
