Fogleman Secures Top 10 in Points

August 26, 2008

Jay Fogleman survived Bristol Motor Speedway and secured sixth in the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Northern Division point standings.

"We're in a good position for the Championship Series," said the driver of the Speedco/The Works/Mac Tools/JFco Motprsports Ford Fusion No. 4n. "We were hoping for a better run here, but that's Bristol - anything can happen, and it happens fast."

The Durham, N.C., racing veteran qualified 12th for the Aarons 150.

"Track position was going to be key," Fogleman said. "It's a shame we never got to show what we had, because we worked hard and had a good car. We had a good test and the car was balanced really well, and we had a good pit stop in the race."

Fogleman was one of a slew of front-running cars that pit during an early caution. He came out 16th on the track, which would have put him in contention once everybody completed their stops. But when a car spun in front of him on lap 18 and he got plowed into from behind, there was no choice but to lose laps making repairs.

"Darin Odle and the crew did a good job getting the car as drivable as possible so I could salvage something," said Fogleman, who finished 16th. "It demonstrates the caliber of this team and shows that we're ready for the Championship Series to come."
