Hodges Motorsports Update - Canyon Speedway Park
Day 1 of the Canyon Clash is over at the Canyon Speedway Park in Peoria, Arizona. It was a night jam-packed with close, flat-out non-wing racing. I started off the night from 3rd in the 3rd heat after pulling the 20 pill. The track was still heavy and fast. On the start, I held my own in 3rd until about 3 laps in, when I got by a car for 2nd. I was on the bumper of 1st, but I couldn't get by before the checkered flag waved. That still put us in the top 8 re-draw, where I pulled 6 to start 6th. The track started getting slick up top, but still seemed very good until a few laps in. I was up to about 4th and my car was getting looser and looser with the deteriating track conditions. Towards the end, I started slipping back, and I fell to 7th, where I would finish after going green to checkered. Although we felt we were not very good last night, we still got a decent finish, and we look forward to tonight, as we do it all over again. See our live updates on facebook and twitter later, and of course check back in for our full update tomorrow.
