PETERSEN MEDIA: Saturday night at Skagit Speedway, Bubba DeCaires bounced back from a rough start to his night, as he charged from his 22^nd starting position and finished 10^th in the feature event.

“Qualifying is definitely hindering us right now,” Bubba DeCaires said. “My laps feel good, but our times haven’t been, and it has left all of us scratching our heads, but we have been able to race well so we’re hoping we can get our qualifying dialed in.”

After timing the Morrison Concrete/Max Sells powered by Red Leaf Realty/High Sierra Industries backed No. 94 in 20^thfastest, DeCaires turned his attention to heat race action.

As fate would have it, a failed fuel line knocked the Elk Grove, CA driver out of heat race action, and he found himself in the seventh starting position in the night’s ‘B’ Main as he searched for a transfer berth into the feature event.

From the inside of the fourth row, DeCaires was very maneuverable as he sliced and diced his way forward. Racing to a fourth-place finish, DeCaires punched his ticket into the feature event where he lined up back in the 22^nd starting position.

When the race went green, DeCaires slowly started his charge towards the Top-10 as he jumped into 18^th before using a lap 7 restart to race into 15^th.

Working into 13^th on the 10^th lap, DeCaires continued to make up ground in turns one and two as he worked on sticking the bottom in turns three and four. At the race’s halfway point, DeCaires took over 12^th and then raced into 11^th just two laps later.

Racing into the Top-10 on the 21^st lap, DeCaires hooked up in a very entertaining battle between 9^th and 11^th for the final nine laps of the race. When the checkered flew, he capped his charge off with a 10^th place result.

“It was a fun race once we got going,” DeCaires said. “We were really good in turns one and two, and I could go wherever the guy in front of me didn’t go and make speed. Turns three and four were tricky, and I still need to figure out how to get better on exit. Overall, really happy with how we are racing, and hoping that we can figure out and fine tune the couple things that are hindering us.”

DeCaires would like to thank Morrison Concrete, Max Sells powered by Red Leaf Realty, High Sierra Industries, JLC Performance, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Wion’s Body Shop, and QuickCar Racing Products for their support.

BY THE NUMBERS: Races-3, Wins-0, Top 5’s-0, Top 10’s-2

ON TAP: DeCaires is set for a return to Skagit Speedway on Saturday night.
