The #17 team finally turned a corner after struggling with motor failure and suspension problems for the last month and a half. Thomas overcame carburetor problems in the heat race to finish third. The invert landed Schinderle on the pole for the feature and the team made critical set up adjustments to improve the handling of the car. Schinderle led the first half of the race while fighting a tight race car. After a mid race caution, the #55 latemodel of Kyle Anderson raced to the outside of Thomas and the two cars battled it out for the top spot. As the race drew to a close, Thomas could not overcome the tight condition of the car and finished the race in the 3rd spot. " Overall I was extremely happy with our finish tonight. We have been struggling with this car for the last couple of races and I am very satisfied that my team got me to the front. It was unfortunate that as the race progressed the tires began to really come in and magnified the tight condition of the car" , Thomas commented after the race.

The crew would like to invite all fans to come out to the next race on August 2nd for the free spectator admission night. Gary Rollo Motorsports is always looking for others to become involved.

With 5 laps left, Schinderle used the restart to take over the top spot and run away with the win. The win came at a cost though as the motor let go across the finish line and may put Schinderle Motorsports out of contention for a few weeks.
