Busy Race & Media Weekend for Marc!

Austin & Kyle, TX — Marc had a busy schedule this race weekend. It started on Friday at Thunder Hill Raceway with an interview with Austins FOX 7 Weekend Sports Anchor Dennis de la Pena. The interview was filmed at the track is to be broadcasted at a later date on Fox 7 in Austin.

Then Saturday Morning it was off to the K-MAC Sports Studio 19 in Austin for a live On-Line Radio show, The A-Line Auto Parts JRA Kids Club Show. "It is Great that our team and sponsors got all the the media exposer in the Austin area." Marc Said.

After the Radio show it was off to Thunder Hill Raceway for a HOT night of racing action in the #19 Modified. "I want to thank Aaron Brungot with JRA Kids Club for being my transportaion to and from the track for this weekend." Marc would say later.

Marc would qualify 7th for the Express Jet Pro-Modified 50 lap Feature, but end up starting 6th after one car left the impound area to work on his car. In the 50 lap Feature Marc would move up to 5th early. With only a few laps in, running in a tight pack, the #26 of Bob Slezinsky would hit Marc causing the pick up tube in the fuel cell to move causing a fuel pick up problem. "All I could do after the 26 hit me," Marc would say, "was to make laps and stay out of the way, the fuel pressure would drop so low at times the engine would stall" The race had several cautions which help Marc manage a 7th place finish in the Feature.
