#70 Modified is One Hot Racecar at Lee...

...But That Isn't Necessarily a Good Thing This Time

Andy Seuss is used to having a hot racecar at All-Star Speedway (NH).  He's battled for victories with Mike Stefanik and Ted Christopher there in the past and hoped to be doing the same thing Saturday night for round three of the WaterSnoGo All-Star Challenge Series.

Unfortunately, his racecar was hot in a bad way during the event.  Overheating problems with the #70 Modified kept Seuss to a 12th-place finish.

“We pulled off the nose and it still ran 200 [degrees],” said Seuss.  “It got up to 230 early on and cut the nose up.  We thought that was more than enough to allow airflow.  It's too bad because that caused us to keep coming in and we had to pass the same half dozen cars.  This car is fairly new to us on the short tracks, so I think we did a good job with it.  We are really learning with it and after a few more weeks, we'll know it well.”

The All-Star race continued a bad run of bad luck for Seuss and his team.  However, the young driver hopes to turn things around when his NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour season resumes this Saturday night at Bowman Gray Stadium.

“Hopefully, that monkey that is on my back,” said Seuss.  “His head is on a wanted poster right now by more than a few people with this team.”
