| The Hot Streak Continues, 4-In-A-Row |
Matt came into Ocean Speedway with one goal in mind, keep the car straight yet again. He got more than he bargained for.
As of May 5th, the #63 Harris Sport Modified collected 3 wins in a row after 2 successful weeks at Ocean Speedway and also a win at Kings Speedway. The victory at Kings was no easy feat. Sotomayor had to start 10th in a field of experienced Sport Mod drivers who had to battle dry-slick conditions.
X Motorsports came back home this week in front of a fully-packed crowd which included nearly a dozen United States Marines coming to visit Matt. It was time to shine.
The heat race provided an introduction to the track master Tom at Ocean Speedway for 2012, making it abundantly clear that it was going to be a very tacky track. Sotomayor struggled with a tight racecar.
As the main event rolled out, the #63 started 4th with confidence that the newly created tacky setup would as intended. After a lap, Sotomayor managed to crack into the top 2 following IMCA Sport Mod Rookie contender Cody Brown. The crowd rose to their feet a few times during the event as Sotomayor made runs underneath Brown, unable to get a run off of the corner to capitalize. Near the halfway point, Matt got his chance. Brown made a slight mistake out of 2 and Sotomayor never looked back. As the white and checkered flags flew, Sotomayor had a straightaway lead and a very loud crowd welcoming him into victory lane.
This week is the first official off-week for the IMCA Sport Modifieds at Ocean Speedway and Matt is taking a well-earned vacation. He will be back on track on May 25th. Can he make 5-in-a-row? Time will tell.05-15-2012 12:05AM |
