(6/7/2011) - Winston-Salem, NC

Last weekend Cale and the race team made their first trip to the famous Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, NC for the "Army Strong 150".  The track is rich in history as several legends in the sport trace their roots back to the stadium style track.   The quarter-mile track is by far the shortest track on the NASCAR K&N East Circuit.  This short and flat track set the race up for several cautions and damaged racecars.  150 laps was the distance and almost half of those laps were run under the caution flag.

The practice and qualifying sessions were held on Friday night, while the 150-lap event was held on Saturday evening.  On Friday night Cale and the team struggled to find speed early in the evening, but improved as the night went on.  Cale qualified 24^th quick after a 2-lap qualifying session on Friday night.   Saturday night Cale lined up 24^th as they took the green flag on lap 1.   The short track proved to be a tough task for all the competitors as there were several cautions before lap 50.  Cale worked his way up to about 10^th place halfway through the race, but was then hit in the rear, which caused him to spin and go 1 lap down.  Several other drivers were already 1 lap down at the time so he still remained in the top 20.  After missing several crashes through out the night, Cale kept the car on the track and finished the race in 18^th place.

(5/23/2011) - Newton, IA

                    Cale raced at two popular NASCAR tracks over the last two weekends. The weekend of the 14th was the USAR Pro Cup race at Rockingham.  The weekend got off to a great start as Cale qualified 7th quick on the Friday evening before the race.  The "Carolina 200" got underway on Saturday afternoon featuring a 150 lap event. 

                    Cale started in 7th and was running smooth consistent lines for the first 50 laps.  While running in 7th Cale moved in on lap traffic on lap 72.  The lap cars were instructed to stick to the inside lane throughout the race.  However, Cale came up to the back of the lapped #31car and the driver jerked the wheel heading towards the outside.  Seeing this move, Cale darted towards the inside lane to make the pass, and the lap car made an erratic move once again.  Unfortunate the #31 made contact with Cale's right rear and sent him into the fence.  This ended the weekend for the #27 Team as the damage was too much to correct.  Cale stayed off the track for the rest of the race and ended up in 24th place on the official results
 
                   The very next weekend Cale and the #27 team headed to Iowa Speedway for the NASCAR K&N East/West combination race. The team unloaded on Friday and had just 1 hour of practice time on Saturday afternoon before the race.  During the last five minutes of practice the team put on some new tires in an attempt to make a mock qualifying run.  Cale was set to lay down a great lap when the car got loose in turn 4, and the car backed up into the wall.  The damage to the car was too heavy to to fix in the 2-hour time period before qualifying.  The team still has high hopes for the rest of the season and is looking forward to a very busy summer of racing.  They are quickly gaining great experience and learning how to build a solid race team every step of the way.
