The Velocity Motorsports team visited the Hanford Speedway for the 8th
time this year. Rolling out of the box Myles Bishop felt as if the car
was fast and he looked just as fast. When time trails came around the
VMS team found there selfs in unfamiliar grounds with a 11th quick time.
But it would put Myles on the pole of the first heat race. The VMS crew
of Steve Bishop, Matt Durica, Kory Miller, and Kent Miller knew they
hard to make some changes. And make some changes they did from changing
bars to stagger. They worked on the car tell the last second. And it
would be worth it cause on the start Myles would take off like he was
shot out of a cannon. But a caution on lap five would bunch the field
back up. On the restart Richard Harvey JR was all over Myles rear
bumper. Myles and Harvey battled for the rest of the race. Then on the
last lap and the last turn Harvey would put a slide-job on Bishop but
Bishop would motor right back by him on the bottom and win the heat
race. Myles and the VMS crew were surprised when the got called up for
the dash. The VMS crew went back to work again making some more changes.
With Myles starting on the pole the VMS team had a good chance. On the
start Myles and young Justin Hamblin would battle into turn one and two
with Justin coming up with the number one spot out of two. Myles would
try and dive in on her in three and four but got to crossed up and loss
ed some spots. Myles would battle back and finish in the number three
spot. That would put him second row inside for the 50 lap main. The VMS
crew would go right back to work changing almost everything on the car.
On the start of the main the car was a little tight but as the night
went on the car was a rocket. Battling with a number of good drivers all
race long. But on lap 30 Myles would get together with Jeff Gardner and
bring out the yellow. One the restart Myles would start 8th cause Peter
Murphy lapped everyone but the top eight. The field would restart but to
have another yellow with the dash winner Justin Hamblin stopped in turn
four. On the next restart Myles entered a little high and the car
started to come around. With no where to go Justin would run into Myles
ending both of there nights. Myles Bishop and the CV Fabricators,
Escalon Body and frame, MACLAC paint, D&D Roofing, Stud Welding
Products, Pacific Bolt number 7 would end up finishing in the 12th spot.
This next weekend the VMS team will go back to Santa Maria for the
Grand Slam race.
