Jeremy worked hard to get the #18 Chevrolet Monte Carlo comfortable for race conditions

"That's a lot more grip!" Jeremy said over the radio.  He easily picked up a couple tenths and felt good about the car.  At the end of practice, he wasn't as high as he wanted to be on the speed charts.  So Jeremy decided to make a few more small adjustments before qualifying.  Unfortunately, those adjustments did not help as the car was too loose.  "It felt like if I got on it anymore it would have just went around," he said after qualifying.  This put him back in the 29th starting position.  He would have his work cut out for him in the 212 lap race.

When the race started, the race car continued to be too loose as the track was still hot.  "I was hoping it was going to cool down more and tighten up the car," Jeremy said.  He came in at each caution to adjust on the car, but the tires were going away fast.  Finally, close to the halfway mark Jeremy caught a timely caution and came in for fresh right side tires.  The tires and adjustments helped as the team soldiered on to the end.  With less than 30 laps to go Jeremy radioed in that the tires were junk.  "I'm just going to ride it out," he said.

At the end of the night, Jeremy crossed the finish line in the 19th position.  He had picked up 10 positions with a very ill handling race car.  Later in the evening, he would be bumped up to the 18th finishing position as another car was disqualified in post race tech.
