For having such a fast car, it seemed unlikely to find Dixon\u2019s Lethal Chassis in a Last Chance race to punch his ticket in. This immediately put him behind in the Feature, and by lap 11, he had already cracked the top-five. But despite his great effort to climb all the way up to the top spot, Dixon said the charge may have taxed his equipment too much, too early.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just had to start so far back, and when the racetrack\u2019s like that, it\u2019s heavy, pretty hammer down and you\u2019ve gotta use your stuff up early just to get by some guys. Even though we\u2019re points racing, you\u2019ve still gotta be smart and try to get to the front as fast as you can,\u201d Dixon said.<\/p>\n
Troutman now leads all 53 entered drivers in overall event points by 60 points over closest Jason Hughes. The top-six drivers are now locked into Saturday\u2019s 75-lap, $5,000-to-win main event, which includes Troutman and Hughes, Dixon, Tyler Nicely, Kevin Adams and Dave Hess Jr. They will redraw for their Feature starting spots during Saturday\u2019s program.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s won two Features this week, but neither have been anywhere close to 75 laps in length. However, Troutman\u2019s confident he can contend for the win, so long as he can get the car to come-in again towards the end of the race, just as it\u2019s done nearly every night this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like we definitely have the car to do it because the longer runs, the longer races with this thing this week, we\u2019ve just been great. That seems to be whenever my car comes in. So, we\u2019re gonna roll with what we\u2019ve been doing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
