We still need to figure out how to get the car to flow through the center and off the corner better, but that’ll come in time,” Offered Jack after the race.
The next race on the schedule for the CRA Late Model Sportsman Series is set for Saturday, May 2nd with the first of four appearances at the fast 1/4 (0.250) mile high-banked paved oval of Anderson Speedway in Anderson, Indiana for the Anderson 75. “I’m looking forward to Anderson.
