Bryan Cathcart and the Meyers Transport/Peterborough Homes/Parkview Homes Dodge team had high hopes as they returned to action at Mopsort Speedway. With a rested and prepared crew another solid finish was expected.
Cathcart would start the Meyers Transport/Peterborough Homes/Parkview Homes Dodge from the 15th starting spot. In the middle of traffic is certainly not where he wanted to be but Bryan knew if he ran a patient race a good finish was still possible. As the race began the car handled well in traffic and Cathcart was able to improve a couple of positions. “Things started out fine and we looked to be finding our stride” he said afterwards”.
Following the first caution period however the cars handling changed dramatically, and not for the better. “It just got so bad, so fast that something must have broken a shock or something” described the driver. It was just rolling over so bad coming out of the corner that I couldn’t get the power down until the car was straight and it made for a very frustrating night”.
Cathcart would be forced to nurse the Meyers Transport/Peterborough Homes/Parkview Homes Dodge around the half mile oval all night. Ever competitive however when a late race caution flag occurred, the team made a quick pit stop to change a right rear tire, that quick fix enabled Bryan enough of an advantage to pass another car for position in the closing laps. “It may seem like a small gain, but little things like that help. We’ll go over the car thoroughly this week to find the problem and be ready to go again next week.
Bryan Cathcart and the Meyers Transport/Peterborough Homes/Parkview Homes Dodge will be back in action at Cayuga Speedway this coming Sunday, August 14th. Action begins at 10AM with practice followed by qualifying and the green flag for 200 laps of racing at 2:30PM.
