PETERSEN MEDIA- Heading to the Cottage Grove Speedway on Saturday night to take part in the tracks 60th season opener, Robbie Price continues his hard charging ways as the Cobble Hill, BC driver worked his way up to a sixth place finish.
“Its good be able to race like we have been the last few weeks, but I need to do a better job of qualifying so I can give this race team a fighting chance,” Price said. “It isn’t always fun starting mid pack.”
With 22 cars on hand at the scenic ¼ mile speedway in Cottage Grove, OR, Price would open his night up by timing the Millstone Heating and Sheet Metal/Tiger Towing/Rod End Supply No. 21 machine in 16th fastest, which put him in a bit of an early jam.
Gridding the field from the third row in his heat race, Price was able to pick up a position as a fifth place finish would put him in the seventh row for the night’s ‘A’ Main event.
From his 13th starting spot, the youngster was able to work his way through a sea of cars as he quickly cracked the Top-10 and went looking for more. The always racy Cottage Grove Speedway provided a great surface and Price found himself up in the sixth spot when a late caution flag flew.
The restart would see Price make a nice move to get into the fourth spot, but he would admittedly stay on the bottom just a little too long and would slip back to sixth when the checkered flag flew.
“I really think we could flirt with some podiums and maybe even some wins if we started a little better than the sixth and seventh row,” Price added. “It just come down to qualifying and I have to get better at it. We certainly have the speed to be better, but it is something to keep working at.”
Price and his team would like to thank Millstone Heating and Sheet Metal, Tiger Towing, Rod End Supply, Wildlight Photography, Shark Racing Engines, and Speedmart for their support during the 2016 season.
