#06 Finishes 30th in Iowa

Tim bounced back from failing to make the race in Salem by finishing 30th in the Prairie Meadows 250 at the Iowa Speedway. The setup problems that plagued the #06 at Salem continued to be a problem in Iowa. Also, rain washed out almost all practice time as well as qualifying. As a result, the field was set based on 2007 points, giving Tim the 23rd position on the starting grid.

"We didn't have the setup of the car where it needed to be," said Tim. He brought the car in for work on a couple of occasions during the race. "We finally got the setup right, but by then it was too late." Tim's persistence paid off in terms of earning points that are valuable over the course of the season.

It's a relatively short week. Tim has headed on to Kansas rather than return home to prepare for the Kansas Lottery $150 Grand Friday afternoon. Hopefully, Tim's luck will take a turn for the better at Kansas.
