Inside Line Promotions – LAWTON, Okla. (July 14, 2014) – A rough night at Lawton Speedway can’t keep Cody Wampler down.
Wampler and his team took a lot of positives out of last Saturday’s race, which ended early because of a couple of issues in his heat race.
“We had some hard luck,” he said. “In the heat race we lost brakes and we also got a rock in the radiator. We didn’t have stuff to get it all back together so we didn’t get to start the feature.”
After starting on the outside of the second row of his heat race, Wampler was caught up in a melee midway through the race.
“They had a red flag and a restart,” he said. “Two cars in front of us stumbled and stacked us up on the restart. They threw a caution and that car did it again on the next restart. We all piled up again. I went to the infield to miss him and a couple of guys got by me.”
Despite a lack of brakes and the radiator issue, Wampler was able to finish his heat race before realizing the extent of the damage. Regardless, he kept a positive attitude about the laps he was able to complete throughout only his third race of the season.
“We got the car to where it’s running well,” he said. “We’re close. It’s just getting these small things ironed out. The car was a little more balanced the way I like it.”
Wampler is taking this weekend off as his oldest daughter is getting married. He will return to action on July 26 at Lawton Speedway.
