FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 6.3.13 For more information, visit MulkernRacing.com
SCARBOROUGH, Maine – Bobby Timmons III of Windham, Maine, finished fifth in the season-opening NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Pro Series 50 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, June 1. Timmons recovered from misfortune in his qualifying race and a mid-pack starting spot to roll to the Top-5 in the Mulkern Racing No. 48 Southern Maine Chrysler Dodge Jeep/Timmons Machine Dodge. Timmons was one of many drivers to come out of the feature event showing signs of a rough night behind the wheel, but he was encouraged by a strong start to the season. He'll return to action next Saturday night, June 8, for Round No. 2 of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series at the .333-mile oval. |
WHO: Bobby Timmons III, Windham, Maine ******** BOBBY, HOW WOULD YOU SUM UP THE DAY? We started off the day really good, and we were really fast all day in practice. Then we drove the heat race, and I don't know if everybody's brains just shut off, because we got wrecked on Lap ½. Then we got wrecked again on Lap 3. Then like five other dudes got wrecked, too, which wasn't cool. I'm not all about that. We had a bleeder stick (in the heat race), so we had no stagger and the car was really tight. We ended up finishing seventh. We still managed to gain a spot (from our starting position), but I don't know how. We made the right changes for the feature. I just put the car in the hands of my crew, and they made all the right changes and we finished fifth. DID YOU HAVE BETTER THAN A FIFTH-PLACE CAR? We were catching (fourth-place Bill Rodgers) at the end. I don't know if we had enough to get by him, but we were catching him at the end. It's opening night, the car's in one piece, I'll take fifth-place. It's a good start to the year. WAS THERE MUCH DAMAGE TO THE CAR? We had a little bit of damage, but compared to what I think some of these guys are going to have this year, I'll take a bumper or two every week. I think some of these guys will be missing entire race cars the way we were racing tonight. We'll see. On to next week. Follow Mulkern Racing on Facebook: facebook.com/MulkernRacingLLC |
