Race 16: TM Lights @ British Columbia

Davison upset

"Has a great car all day, all the way until my first pit stop where Cullotta thought otherwise. Just cannot catch a damn break since my Michigan win, I'm not getting the results to show for it."

Jefferson Dodges Early Chaos and Escapes With 8th

The #37 team finally had something to feel good about after a miserable season, as John Jefferson was able to make the most of the early-race calamity and move up to 8th place by the time the checkered flag waved.

"This Exide Batteries car wasn't very fast, but I think I made up for it by driving smart and not getting into other people's messes. Hopefully we can do that again at Decatur, and maybe add some speed. I'm glad I was able to get these guys a good finish before I leave" Jefferson said, already knowing that he won't be back at Tom Delgado Racing for 2013, and most likely headed back to minor league competition having failed (for the most part) to be able to mix it up with the better drivers in the sport.

Super-sub Brooke Ingwersen continues to impress:
It's been five races since Brooke Ingwersen made her return to the TM Lights Series. In those five races, she has again showed the skill that made her a winner last season in Brazil.

The Round of British Columbia was a new experience for her, though, as her division didn't compete at the HLR Circuit.

In spite of it, Ingwersen qualified well enough to start 10th and, though she was spun out by Mike Andrews in the early portions of Lap 1, persevered, and brought her No. 16 A&W Bolden home where she started - in 10th place.

Team boss Ryan Matthews couldn't give Ingwersen enough praise.

"Brooke has really impressed me, and I'm sure a lot of other people as well," Matthews said. "It was a crying shame that she didn't have a full-time ride coming into this season. I can assure you that, if I have any say in it, she won't have to worry about her 2013 plans."

Matthews Motorsports wraps up its inaugural TM Lights season at Decatur. If things continue to roll along, it may not be the team's last.

Andrea Kinasa mourns her husbands death with a podium

It was a very emotional week for Andrea Kinasa, as she lost her husband, Scott Morales, in an ARLA Race at Orange County. She would end the week on a bright note with a 3rd place finish at HLR.

She was in tears when she reached the podium. "This week has been very tough on me, after all I have been through this is a good finish for me. I wish Scott was here to see this."

Sakura Motoko gets knocked out of contention by early chaos at HLR.

Sakura Motoko isn't getting anywhere but further away from the title contention after a stackup early in the race caused serious damage to Motoko's car. She was forced to pit and couldn't get back up the running order. "I did poorly, I should have been more patient." Motoko told reporters before heading to the airport.
