New Castle, Indiana July 16, 2008
Again starting from the third position in the feature with an invert of four Drew wasted no time putting the Aluma Trailers, Century 21 Master Key Realty, Mid America Properties, Amsoil Yamaha Kenyon Midget into second place, then took a few careful laps to size up the #84 Grant Galloway and put a clean pass on him for the lead on lap seven. A couple of restarts were no problem for Drew as he pulled away each time to take the checkered flag with a few car lengths to spare over Grant Galloway and second place points Caleb Armstrong. This opened up Drew’s points lead to 12 over the #7 Armstong Kenyon Midget. Anderson Speedway, Anderson, Indiana July 18, 2008 Come feature time racing lady luck shown down on Drew with a smile as the #6 pill was drawn and Drew was lined up to start the feature on the pole. The car was pretty fast and not really tested in the heat race because of the follow-the-leader racing fast pace of the heat race, so only minor air pressure and wedge adjustments were made to the #21 Kenyon Midget. This didn’t prove to be enough to hold off the #84 outside front row car of Grant Galloway. He got the run off the preferred high side and dropped in front of Drew. For seven laps it was another follow the leader race with the #84 pulling out to a few car length advantage and the others in the front running pack left to duke it out. On lap seven an inpatient #15 Jeff Wimmenauer tagged Drew down the back stretch sending him spinning unharmed into the infield, relegating him to the tail. This was the same car that slammed Drew into the wall hard at New Castle Mt. Lawn Speedway only three weeks before (Jeff is a Finish Line Racing School Graduate, more is expected of him than this). Drew came back to finish 6th with a very loose race car. The night’s racing tightened up the points race to put him back a couple markers behind the #7 Caleb Armstrong who finished 3rd. So that’s racing, the USAC Kenyon Midget Driver Development Series gave the young drivers another example of rough driving with no penalty! Disappointing but we will suck it up and make it a point to be faster next time so they can’t get to our back bumper! |
