2, Friday)

Notes:
- Last weekend at a match race in Eddysville, Iowa, Carpenter won the event
and set a new track record. Unfortunately, this weekend wasn’t as kind as he
missed qualifying for the elimination rounds.
Charles Carpenter Quote:
"It’s the clutch. It’s always the clutch this year. We are so close, but we
had the clutch set a couple of grams off and that made a big difference. The
front-end got too high and the car wanted to go left. I think I could have
driven through it but the clutch setup caused the tires to shake in second
gear."
