After much thought and conversation, Todd took a job with FRR out of Denver, CO and though he has been flying back and forth for a couple weeks now. This was his first Sunday on the pit box. So after church, we headed to Grandma's for some lunch and actually sat down to watch the race. Something I have to say, I personally haven't done for a WHILE. But I was excited to see how today was going to go. They qualified 14th, pretty good and started out with a bang. They were in the top 10 within the first few laps of the race. They hung out around 7-8th for about 100 laps of the race. With a 2 tire pit call from Todd, they were sitting 2nd at a restart (with about 60 laps to go)...agh!! But at the restart Regan Smith & Brad K. got together giving some fender damage and not to mention probably a scare to both drivers...#78 fell back to 24th. So with tire call and a little damage what was going to be a GREAT race, ended up just a good one!! Regan fought back and I mean FOUGHT, that boy was driving... to finish 18th, drag racing across the finish line! Great job with Todd's first race with new team. I have to say I am excited to watch next Sunday. I am missing Todd and we'll be joining him soon, but I feel like a good solid run Sunday helped assure him, that he is going to be a competitive Crew Chief again and that makes me smile.
