Mike David of Modesto, CA looks to regain the points lead, Saturday, as the NASCAR Grand National West Series heads into Irwindale Speedway in Irwindale, CA.
David had a strong runner-up finish in his Bennett Lane Winery Ford Fusion in Roseberg Oregon three weeks ago.
David had a top finish at Irwindale in May thwarted by a faulty air-gun during his pit stop. David recovered to finish in sixth place.
�We normally have good cars at Irwindale Speedway,� David said.
David emphasizes a strong run needed at Irwindale to remain in the championship hunt.
�We have to stay consistent and have top-fives,� David said. �There�s not enough races to have another problem.�
The Lynch Racing Team has done a solid job preparing the cars, according to David, and that�s allowed him to be in the championship position for the first time since he joined the series.
�We prep the cars well and the guys are doing a great job,� David said. �Everything�s falling in the right direction. I�m really happy where we are and we�re doing well.�
