Tough Debut for DSR Rookie Perry-Jones


The only goal that Michaela Perry-Jones told reporters that she had prior to her first race in the FARC Lowe Dollar Series was to make it to the finish with a clean car.

Unfortunately for the Durbin Sport Racing rookie, she would only reach lap 31. She started from the fifth row after what was a strong showing from her in qualifying, but the #93 Lenard would be collected in only the second crash of the day. The incident inflicted significant damage to the car, and it wasn't long after the following restart when the car broke down at speed.

Perry-Jones attempted to pull the car to the outside in order to be able to reach the pit entrance on the backstretch, but never found a safe opening to do so. Although she held her line as cars drove past on either side, her own car eventually slowed to a stop, and set off a multi-car crash in the process after being clipped by fellow rookie Kerry Fenton.

"I just didn't want to get in the way or cause any trouble today" she said to the press following her release from the care center. "I tried so hard not to cause a caution by getting out of the way but I never found a way to the top, and by that point I was already going too slow to get back down. I feel like I made a really bad decision and wrecked a bunch of other people's cars and that was the last thing that I wanted to do here."

The 22-year-old driver was signed to a full-season drive in the DSR car #93 after what has been a very short racing career for her up to this point; her past driving experience only includes a couple of years of short track racing in Indiana and Illinois, but she managed to achieve multiple late model feature race victories during that time.

The next race for the FARC Lowe Dollar Series will take place at the Sayre Speedway in Dora, Alabama.

Manny Greene, and Alexa Lake came and qualified their way into the Smash Beer 108, and particularly, Alexa Lake, she had the hope to go through the field and perhaps take a win. Manny Greene, who started third, and potentially himself, after a win as well.

However, this was sore of the case as it proved to be a daunting challenge. Manny Greene would be collected in a mechanical failure from the team's new Kanako backing. Greene would never be able to recover. We will not play his radio chatter as it was loaded with expletives.

And Alexa Lake? Kanako has already shown to have two mechanical failures for the young team who is already struggling to survive after a season. She would suffer some sort of mechanical issue and drop out on lap 74.

Alexa Lake, who has been struggling with sickness and being young in marriage looked pretty downtrodden in her interview after the race. "I am disappointed Calton-Morel was kicked out of the series, as I had some awesome backing by the great staff there at Calton-Morel, so to jump into a new chassis or manufacturer because Calton-Morel could not return to us is not only very unfortunate and annoying, but now we're very uncertain on the whereabouts on how this team will do with this Kanako chassis, and so far, it hasn't."

"-It is probably early for me to question a chassis like this. Perhaps it is a one-time thing, and we'll have better results with Kanako? Or perhaps this is the mark of my team's downfall? I don't want that. Let's hope that Kanako does us good here, because I really need it to."

As Aaron Collteir exited his Benito's Burritos Lenard on Sunday, he expressed a great deal both of satisfaction and regret.
"I want to apologize first and foremost to Kurt (Walker), said the Maine driver after finishing 11th, the first car a lap back of the leaders. "I blocked him on a restart late in the going. I wanted to get a quick yellow after the last caution but it never panned out, and I would've been sick of myself if he didn't catch and pass Mark Thompson. Overall we struggled a bit with pace in this car, but we survived all the accidents and tire problems and punched a bit above our weight. We're off next week, looking forward to Albequerque and Texas. Thank you."
