Alex Murray Looking For Bojangles Summer Shootout Series Turnaround In Race Six
CONCORD, N.C. - Alex Murray, 15, of Concord has not had a lot of cooperation from lady luck in the first five races of the ten race 22nd Annual Bojangles Summer Shootout Series for INEX Legends and Bandolero cars at the Charlotte Motor Speedway this summer.
Showing speed at times but also being caught up in others' incidents or pitting early with mechanical issues throughout the first half of the series, Alex and his team are heading to the famed track tonight with the goal of making the last five races a much better showing of what they are capable of.
"The last couple of weeks, we've been bothered by some sort of power or fuel pickup issue or something," Alex said. "When the motor gets hot it starts bogging and just has no speed. We've worked all week to figure it out. I'm optimistic that if we can just put that behind us, the car has the speed and the setup it needs to have for me to race competitively in the pro division, which is a new division for us this year. I have faith in the car and in myself, but sometimes these power issues can be hard to find, especially if they're electrical in nature. I'm ready to go race for top fives and wins in the second five races. I want to put this Racing with Ryan/Shamrock Auto Care No. 22 up front where it belongs!"
Tonight is the usual Monday night practice session at the track, while qualifying and racing get underway on Tuesday afternoon.
