June 26th- Make Up Feature- finished 3rd. Had about 5th place car according to Brian, but a last lap mishap between two cars
in front of him had the 92B crossing the line in 3rd. 6/26 Feature- DNF- After going backwards on the start, the 92B was using
the low side when Brian noticed that he was losing oil pressure. Had to pull it in and call it a night.
June 19th- Rained out after heats. Double features next week!
June 12- Rained out.
June 5- Rained out.
May 29th- DNF. Only a couple laps in when Brian had a car sneak up on the inside of him in 3 and 4. Brian moved up the track
some to give him some room, but not soon enough as the other car's front tire hopped over the front end of the 92B. Brian
spun and soon discovered that the damage was far too extensive to fix on pit road so he had to call it a night. Broke the
steering box, tie rod, center link, bent the spindle, a frame and bent the frame!
May 22- Started 8th, Finished 4th.
May 15th-Started 12th, Finished 4th. Track was dry this week and after some major adjustments to the car the 92B seemed to
be handling much better. There were lots of wrecks and incidents on the track, but somehow Brian managed to dodge most of
them. Wasn't until the last few laps when a car broke in front of him that he suffered some minor damage, crunching the left
front fender and bending a spindle. Still he managed to hang on and finish a solid fourth.
May 8th- Started 5th, Finished 3rd. Once again the fastest groove seemed to be on the high side and the 92B found this out
early on as he was shuffled backwards after the start. Watching cars scoot by he was finally able to start making some moves
back to the front. The car was super tight so Brian had his hands full. Laps winding down the 92B had settled into 5th when
the two cars battling it out in front of him got tangled up. Improving his position by 2 was scored 3rd for the night.
May 1- Started 18th, Finished 10th. Not a great start to the season at SCS. The 92B got tangled up with a spinning car in the
heat race, which put a hole in the radiator forcing the 92B to pull into the pits. As a result he didn't qualify for the invert and
would start 9th row outside. Going to the low side early on, Brian quickly realized as the cars filed by on the outside that this
wasn't the place to be! Finally finding an opening he was able to start making some forward progress, but the going was slow
as cars raced side by side in front of him. Salvaged a 10th place finish.
April 24th- Rained out.

May 23rd- Started 3rd, finished 3rd.
May 16th- Started 3rd, finished 2nd.
May 9th- Finished 9th.
May 2nd- Started 13th, Finished 9th. Starting in the back of the heat, Brian wasn't able to get up into a qualifying spot which
put him further back in the night's feature. Things looked good early on and he worked his way up to the 6th place spot, but
then it got a little bit more challenging. Unable to find room on the bottom to pass the car in front of him, Brian kept working
until the other car got out of shape. Brian slammed on the brakes, kicking the rear end around, with nose pointing towards
the infield the car came almost to a stop- middle of the turn is not a good place to be stopped, especially not with a pack of
cars coming your way! Despite a bent frame Brian was able to go to the tail and continue and he actually had a good restart,
passing a few cars only to have the yellow come out again and have to return to the tail once more. Ended up 9th.
April 25th- Rained out.

June 23rd- Started 8th, Finished 7th. Track was tricky tonight with one corner being tacky and fast and the other being dry and
slick. The set up didn't work and Brian had his hands full. Able to finish a disappointing 7th.
June 16th-Started 9th, Finished 4th. The USMTS Mod series with special guest Kenny Wallace was on the agenda for this night
at BVR. The 92B team pitted right next to Kenny Wallace, who was all business preparing for the night's racing action. A draw
redraw format, Brian would start 9th in the night's A feature event. The car looked good early on, with Brian narrowly missing a
pile up a couple laps in. He was able to use the bottom to move his way into third, but as the laps wound down he found the
low groove was getting used up. The fourth place car powered past him on the outside and Brian moved up the track. The
last laps were exciting with Brian getting up beside the 3rd place car the two were side by side as they approached the double
checkers. Finished fourth by inches. A good run!
June 9th- Started 6th, Finished 2nd.
June 2nd- Started 3rd, Finished 4th. A pretty uneventful night. Brian got passed almost immediately by the 4th place car and
spent the rest of the race on his tail trying to regain that position. The car was handling better than last week so that was a
relief.
May 26th- Started 8th, Finished 5th. Brian thought he had the push out of the car for the most part this season, but tonight
proved it could still rear it's ugly head! In the heat, the 92B was so tight that Brian could barely manage to get it to turn! Hoping
for a miracle he made some changes before heading out in the King of the Hill qualifier, but the car was still very tight and his
chances were ended early when the car pushed up the track. By feature time and after some more changes things seemed
better but still not quite where he wanted them. Managed to work his way up to and hang onto 5th.
May 19th- Started 9th, Finished 4th.
May 12th- Rained out.
May 5- Season Opener. Started 5th, Finished 2nd! Always one of the more exciting classes at BVR, the stock cars didn't
disappoint. Brian took advantage of his good starting spot and was able to pop into third relatively early on in the race. The
cars settled in until Brian caught and began challenging the second place car. The high side was faster, but Brian kept
working he bottom. When a yellow was thrown the 92B was able to restart on the outside and this was all the Brian needed to
put the car into the second place spot, but he definitely had his hands full as another driver challenged him down low. The
two raced side by side, lap after lap as the crowd went wild. As the white flag flew, they completed the final circuit door to
door,coming off turn four the drag race was on, with the 92B taking the 2nd spot by inches at the line.
