Glenn Gault Jr.

The Pine Lasky Fall Fest at Motordrome, which was scheduled as a two day event, turned out to be a one day affair when steady rain on Friday October 2nd canceled all activities and pushed them all into Saturday. Glenn Jr. pulled out of Hubbard with the racing hauler at 5:30AM bright and early with the #32 to be able to arrive in time to prepare the car at Motordrome for the days activities which involved two practice sessions, qualifying through 2 hot laps, and then the feature.

After the practice sessions Glenn Jr. said the car felt really good and he was confident it would race well.
Qualifying was next and Glenn Jr was set to go out 2nd in the 26 car field. His best lap was the second lap at 17.99.

The redraw for the top 12 drivers for position took place in the frontstretch prior to the start of the Features.

Glenn Jr. drew tenth and was able to maintain his starting start for the race.
Glenn had the crew make very few adjustments after qualifying prior to the race.
Twenty six cars started the feature with driver intros on the frontstretch prior to the command to start engines and pace laps. After three attempts at a complete lap without a caution the race finally went green and Glenn Jr was 6th at that time. That was short lived as on lap 2 the caution flag again flew when Glenn Jr. found himself in an unavoidable situation where he made contact with the #9 of Will Thomas that sent Will spinning. Glenn was assessed a penalty that sent him to the tail end of the longest line putting him in 19th. the race then had a long green flag run. Glenn Jr. got himself into a good rhythm and went to work passing cars and was up to 18th on lap 23.

The Leader was working his way through the field as well and was lapping positions quickly. Glenn Jr. managed to stay ahead of the leader until lap 45 when he went a lap down. However he remained in position for the “Lucky Dog” which is right behind the leader, so when the caution flag flew on lap 48 this made him eliglble for the lead lap. Unfortunately the officials asked him to have the car checked for a leak. Glenn Jr. pulled into the pit and a rear end gear oil leak was discovered ending his race for the night.
Glenn Jr. said he liked the way the car was handling despite the frustration of the early ending. So for all the fans of the #32 thanks for support and looking forward to next year. You can always check back here for all the updates from the track.
