Driver of the Race: Miranda Leckliter
Reject of the Race: The dumbass CRL officials

Souza has very mediocre debut in CRL

"Well, this is quite the adjustment from GT Cars, but I'll get the hang of this eventuallly." Trevor Souza said, scoring an 18th place finish in the season opener at Irwindale.

Goshen Upset With Motor Troubles and CRL Officials

Jared Goshen and his #00 Goshen Family Racing entry thought they would have the car to beat after posting a pretty fast time in practice and avoiding all of the carnage that was the pit road wall. However, Goshen ended up qualifying 18th and after his run on the radio, he stated that he felt the engine going sour. The team thought they fixed the problem and would have a great run in the first ever CRL Developmental Division race at Irwindale Speedway.

After the green flag dropped, Jared was picking cars off one-by-one in the first two turns, but his engine died on him after crossing the start/finish line. Even though his car stopped on the track, the CRL officials did not through the yellow flag. Goshen was obviously frustrated.

"I have no idea what the officials were thinking! My car was stalled out there, still in the racing groove, I couldn't move the damn thing at all and they decided to keep racing? Ugh, that just stinks! Stinks for Dunkin' Donuts and for Which Wich. Man, and after we fixed the engine on pit road, we had a fast car! Just a shame. On to Portland, I guess," stated Jared Goshen.

After finishing 24th (last) in the race, the team will take the journey to the Pacific Northwest for the second race of the CRL Developmental Division season, looking to score some points.
