Return to Hickory

After all of the controversy that happened last time we were at Hickory Motor Speedway, the Barnes Racing team decided to finally return to the historic track! The day was off to a good start when Air Doug was top 3 in both practices! Later in the day he captured his third pole of the year!

In race one Doug chose the high side and quickly took off to a large lead. After 11 laps his left rear shock broke and he quickly fell through the field. He still managed to finish 8th,

In race two Doug started on the pole again and jumped out to quick lead. After a caution he raced side by side with another car for 10+ laps before once again taking the lead. However, he was quickly tracked down by another car and he lost the lead with about 10 laps to go. He wound up finishing 2nd to end the night.
