Covington Motorsports- MESQUITE, Texas (April 1, 2014) Matt Covington and the Covington Motorsports team scored another top-5 finish to move into fourth place in the championship point standings.
Matt Covington powered his T&L Foundry/ Triple X chassis to a fourth place finish during the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour event at Devil’s Bowl Speedway last Saturday night.
“It was another solid night for us,” Covington said, “We were just a little tight in a couple of spots on the race track during the feature.”
After having a lock-in starting position from the week before, Matt would have to dial in the car in a brief hot lap session.
Covington started the feature from the outside of the fourth row after drawing the dreaded eight pill in the redraw.
“I knew we were going to have our work cut out for us after the redraw,” stated Matt. “With these national boys it’s hard to advance once you’re in the top 10 because everybody is so fast, plus the track was still good and tacky.”
Matt would go to work once the green flag waived and work his way forward into the top-5 by midway. Covington would keep fighting for positions in his Wesmar/Schoenfeld headers machine, but when the checkers flew Matt would ultimately settle for the 4th position.
“The track was tricky in the feature,” he said. “It was tacky and one groove on the bottom in the corners but slick down the straightaways. It was really hard to pass and we were a little tight at a couple different times during the race. But to start 8th and finish 4th, I will take it and really just happy to move up in the points and excited for the upcoming races.”
