Team Blows Engine At O'Reilly
The team had high hopes for O'Reilly but struggled during the practice sessions to get the car fast.
The team got the car close by the end of practice but was still really off the fast time and qualified 23rd. Sixty Nine
laps into race the engine dropped off severely and then blew. This unfortunate event has put the team out for several
races untill we can get a new engine. The part that failed was a GM Valve Retainer which let the valve drop into the
piston distroying every inch of the engine.
