Saturday, June 21st Race recap,

The official first day of summer and longest day of the year proved to be a good one for Watson racing. T.J. started outside pole in his heat race and even though the Tire pressures got started to low T.J. managed to make a late run to challenge for the heat win coming up just a car length short taking home 2nd place and a 4th place  starting position for the feature, After making the necessary adjustments the team was ready for battle. When the Green dropped T.J. made a strong run up the outside to take the 2nd spot and then he set his eyes on the lead which opened up to about ten car lengths while T.J. was battling for position, Over the next 5 laps T.J. closed the distance to about a car length and then the caution flew. Not what T.J. and the team wanted to see. The rest of the race was run in 3 lap segments due to a bunch of cautions, On the 2nd to last restart T.J. got a good jump on the leader and was almost clear going into turn one when the caution flew again putting him back to 2nd. When the smoke cleared T.J. came home with a strong 2nd place finish. Watson racing was happy with a 2nd place finish to push T.J. close to or into the top 5 in points. The crew did a great job and the car was clean at the end. T.J. and crew are ready to do battle again next week! See you there!
