Tough Luck for Andy in the NASCAR Whelen Southern

Modified Tour Event at Caraway

The momentum had been building.  It started with a 10th-place run two weeks ago at Caraway Speedway...the first race at Caraway since Andy Seuss' primary Ideal Racing No. 11 Modified had been destroyed.  It continued one week ago in the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour event at South Boston, when Seuss had arguably the fastest car on the track throughout the race that finished with a second-place result.

The signs were pointing towards success for Seuss going into Saturday's NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour event, the Parking Lot Maintenance Headquarters 150 at Caraway Speedway.  The car was good in practice, and even though it didn't qualify as well as Seuss and the team had hoped in 17th, Seuss was optimistic for a good result at the end of 150 laps.

Unfortunately, even the biggest rolls of momentum can not overcome bad luck.  Such was the case for Seuss at Caraway Saturday.  Just as he began making a charge into the top-10 at lap 25, a tire went flat on Seuss' No. 11 machine, sending him for a spin and into the outside wall.  Seuss' night was done from there, finishing 22nd. 

There will now be a nearly three-month break until the NWSMT season gets back in action.  Stay tuned for more on what Andy will be doing during the break right here.
