A 2nd and 6th place to cap off the weekend!
Chris Piasecki drove the Piasecki Racing 16P Monte Carlo to his second top five finish of the season on Friday night (5/11/07). Chris had an early lead in the feature event, but found a few handling issues had dropped him back to the fourth. After several laps of trying different driving styles, Chris managed to work his way pass the third place car. With only three laps to go in the feature event, Chris brought the crowd to its feet as he passed the second place car (Dave Luff). Race leader, Denny Decker, had the field beat hands down unless mechanical failure doomed him. After a late yellow flag, the Super Stocks entered turn one for the last time of the night. Piasecki entered turn one low, but was bumped out of the low groove to the high side by third place Luff. Luff drove out of turn two with no regards to Piasecki's position on the track an almost took both he and Piasecki into the outside retaining wall head on. After the race, the flagger announced to Luff that he was being penalized one racing position for rough riding/driving. Chris had backed up his week one finish with another second place.
On Saturday night (5/12/07), Piasecki Racing ventured to Center Lisle, New York to race at Thunder Mountain Speedway. This event was the second race of the 2007 Trackside Products Super Stock Tour. Chris finished second in his heat race early in the night. After starting fifth in the feature event, Chris found himself moving nowhere in the field. After a mid race caution, Chris started to notice the car getting real loose on turn entry. A flat tire would prove to be the culprit keeping the Piasecki Racing 16P Super Stock out of the top five for the first time in the 2007 season. Chris finished in 6th place at Thunder Mountain Speedway Saturday night.
