 Alex had a great time down at 5 Flags Speedway in Florida this last weekend.  He had a fast car in both practice sessions with the 1st practice 3rd in times and the 2nd practice 1st in times. But what Alex and the team are still trying to figure out is how the drivers pick up so much on the qualifying runs.  "I had been told that the drivers really pick up on there qualifying runs here, so I was prepared for that. But now we need to figure that out for our return for the Snowball Derby"  stated Alex.  He started 21st in a very strong field and worked all the way up to 5th place when the leaders hit and took out all but 4 of the five leaders. Alex's team was able to get him in and tear the nose and duct work off and got him back out with 3 of the others that were also involved and was able to bring it home in 5th place.  " I have the best crew that knows how to get in and get things done fast, which they put me in the position to get back out there and finish that well."  The team then headed to Alabama to participate at the Mobile International Speedway which unfortunately got rained out.  Alex will now have a break until August 30th where he runs Caraway in the PASS Series.  You can visit www.5flagsspeedway.com and click on the media and find some pics of the weekend.

Alex attended testing last night at Five Flags Speedway in Florida and quickly adapted to this tricky track. He was running among 30 strong competitors and was a top 5 car. Alex has never been to this track and is running in Kyle's NOS/Electric sponsored super late that he has never raced in also. " This track is very hard on tires, they get about 2 great laps and then they really fade out, so we are working on that. I have a great team and car owner behind me and I want to thank them for their hard work" stated Alex.  Alex is not running for points, he is down there to gain some seat time to go back and run the 41st Annual Snowball Derby on Dec 4-7,2008. Tonight's racing action starts with qualifying at 6:45pm and racing begins at 8:00pm. You can visit www.5flagsspeedway for the latest updates.
