Bobby made his pavement debut driving a crate engine car with the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour on Saturday at Memphis International Raceway. While running in sixth at the halfway break, he suffered mechanical problems that forced the team to go pitside for repairs and as a result go laps down to the leader. At the finish Bobby was 12th, seven laps down. A tough end to an otherwise impressive debut weekend on the asphalt. Prior to the race, Bobby commented “I have always wanted to race in some sort of asphalt, no matter what it is or where I was going to race, just to get good experience. I think racing a crate is different than a super. As far as driving style, everything is the exact same but you have to keep your momentum in the crate. I think it’s going to be the same for pavement. We are excited for this experience.”
