Milwaukee Proves Challenging for Fogleman

June 5, 2008

Jay Fogleman started fifth at the Milwaukee Mile on May 31 in the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Sears Auto Center 150, but mechanical gremlins during the event prevented the team from scoring a good finish.

"We had a good racecar," said Fogleman, driver of the Speedco / The Works/ Jfco Motorsports Ford Fusion, who finished on the lead lap in 17th.

"The Milwaukee Mile is a little different than any other track we race on," continued the short-track specialist from Durham, N.C. "it was challenging getting the car right in practice, but we had it pretty decent for the race before some mechanical issues bit us. We never got to show how good the car really was."

Crew Chief Darin Odle agreed.

"We unloaded in practice and struggled," Odle said. "Finally we got the car right, until we had mechanical problems. The race certainly  gave us an education, having not been there before. I look forward to going back there; give this one to the Milwaukee Mike, but the next time it's ours.

Odle observed that despite the disappointment at Milwaukee, the team's spirits are high.

"I like racing with Jay as much as anybody I've ever worked with," he said.
