A Hard Earned Eighth at Big R Keeps the 6 Team in the Hunt

By Dave Sully - (Ransomville, NY) With competition tight and cautions at a premium, there wasn’t much room or time to make many moves to the front at Ransomville on Friday, June 15^th. When all was said and done, Mat salvaged a hard earned eighth, after starting toward the rear, in a race won by point leader Chad Brachmann.

 

Mat put it into perspective, noting, “It was good racing. We just missed the setup a little bit. You just have to drive it hard, and it’s tough to pass. There’s no doubt about it. The bottom was there. I think the top was just as fast. It was good tonight. Brachmann was good. There’s no doubt about that. You have to be spot on to come from eighteenth. It’s tough. You can’t miss the setup at all.”

 

Commenting on Danny Johnson bumping him a couple of times during the night, he added, “He raced me hard, as always, but that’s racing. We’ll get ‘em next week.”
