Inside Line Promotions – SAPULPA, Okla. (Oct. 31, 2018) – When reflecting on his first season chasing points with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour presented by SawBlade.com, Australian Scott Bogucki simply stated, “I learned a lot and I know what needs to be done for next year. It will be a different story.”
Bogucki wrapped up his 2018 racing season last Saturday at Creek County Speedway during the John Christner Trucking Fall Fling. After winning his heat race and finishing fourth in a qualifier, Bogucki rolled off 11th in the main event.
“Going into the weekend we had the Rookie of the Year Award locked up and we were gunning to take seventh in points from Skylar Gee,” he said. “Once he locked into the A Main I knew we couldn’t do that so I was going to let it rip to try and get the win. Unfortunately I got squeezed into an infield tire and broke a radius rod and that ended our night.”
Reflecting on 2018, Bogucki said he is proud of how his SawBlade.com backed team grew and learned and he is excited about next season. Bogucki finished eighth in the ASCS National Tour championship standings and out of the 44 total races he competed in during 2018 he recorded a win at Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas, to go with seven top-five finishes and 19 top-10 runs.
“I feel as though we should have won a lot more features than one and we should have finished third or fourth in points,” he said. “If you look at the features we didn’t make because of bad luck or dumb mistakes we could have easily been in the top five.”
Now that the season is over Bogucki and the SawBlade.com sponsored team are busy at their Houston, Texas, based shop getting ready for 2019. Bogucki leaves soon to return to Australia.
“We have three new Maxim cars ready, three fresh Ostrich 360 engines and a fresh 410 ready to go,” he said. “Quite frankly this is the best position I have ever been in my racing career. If you look at where we started the year to where we ended it’s been a lot of hard work and stress to get here, but it’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. So I will give it my all. I’ll be back in the states in February and we will be ready to race in March.
“We will work every day until I leave for home. I can’t thank Dillon (Paddock) enough for all he has done. I hope he comes back with me next year. I trust him and we work extremely well together.”
