Rug Ratz Racing- Slick Nick

Last night Slick Nick hit the track at Auburndale Speedway! Nick started P5 in the heat race and worked his way forward to finish P4, putting the 31 machine starting P4 in the feature.

Starting on the outside lane made for a tough feature race. Nick did a great job hanging on up top early, but to make forward progress he needed to get down to the bottom groove. That meant giving up a couple spots and falling back to 6th before charging back forward. With the race staying green from start to finish and no cautions to tighten the field back up, passing was extremely difficult.

Nick kept pushing and was able to make the pass for 5th with just two laps remaining to bring home another Top 5 finish. While the results may not show just how fast the car was, the speed was definitely there all night long. Nick laid down a couple 14.9 second laps, making the 31 one of the fastest cars on the track as the third quickest overall.

One huge positive from the night — the car is heading back to the shop with zero damage and ready to get prepared for the next race.

A huge thank you goes out to Jesse at JLM Motorsports for all of the hard work, time, and dedication he puts into this team. Week after week he gives Nick a fast car capable of running up front, and we appreciate everything he does for Slick Nick! 🏁
