Embedded Files
Alex is in the unique position of racing against, and with, his father David in nearly identical Ford Mustangs. David has been doing this a long time and his knowledge and experience has transferred to Alex for sure. Last year he sometimes pushed too hard, trying to collect that first win. I think he has gained a little patience and maturity heading into his Sophomore season in the Street Stocks. Look for him to collect some good finishes and improve week after week.
EVENT 1 - MERCHANTS BANK 150
MAY 1, 2011
Alex turning laps in the final practice before the season kicks off
Alex leads his father around turn three
Running well at the front of the pack, Alex's Feature came to a sudden stop when spun by another car
and collected by everyone behind him.
Although he was able to collect himself enough to drive back to the pits, Alex damn sure took a hard hit!
He was credited with a 29th Place finish.

Nice work by Alex and his crew getting a car built within a few days to replace the one destroyed at the last event!

Reserve Feature action....Alex made it into the Feature and finished in 20th place

EVENT 7 - PEPSI HOLIDAY EVENT
JULY 4, 2011
Alex fights off MC Ingram in Heat Race action

without major damage. The results will come.

EVENT 10 - CASELLA WASTE MANAGEMENT

he encountered issues in practice. Classy move as his Dad is in the points hunt.
EVENT 11 - WDEV & CALKINS PORTABLE TOILETS

This synchronized spin in the Reserve with Troy Kingsbury killed both of their chances

EVENT 15 - VERMONT ACE HARDWARE STORES
AUGUST 18, 2011
Alex took a ride off turns 3 & 4....it was kind of surreal to watch the trees bounce after his car disappeared.
