July 24 - Saturday was a nice cool day that stayed cloudy most of the day. Josh was ready and was 2nd quick in practice. Josh qualified 5th with a 20.906. After qualifying the team found a bad shock and replaced it for the heat race. Josh started 2nd row inside and ran 3rd the whole race right behind the leaders when Josh bumped the leader and slowed up and fell back and then avoided a wreck on the last lap and finished 5th. The feature had Josh started 5th row inside and he slowly worked his way up and took over second with 5 laps to go on and finish 2nd in the feature. |

I
met Josh back in 1995 when I was a crew member for Danny Difazzio at
Sycamore Speedway. After Danny won the Late Model Championship in 1995,
Josh asked if I wanted to help him out in 1996 in the Late Model
division. I told Josh I would, and the rest is history. Josh won the
Late Model Championship in 1996. From 1997 through the 1999 season Josh
ran in the Super Late Model division, finishing 11th, 2nd and 3rd.
During the 1999 season Josh got a Mid-American stockcar to run on
asphalt and ran his first race at Chicago motor Speedway in Cicero Il. After
the 1999 season, Josh sold the Super Late and concentrated on the
Mid-American car. The 2000 season was the season to get familiar with
racing an asphalt. From 2001 to the present Josh has seen himself grow
as a driver in those years, and now Josh is one of the best in his
division this year. I think this 2004 season has the best driver / crew
combination that I have been apart of. I have noticed that this crew
works together as a team. If there is a problem with the car nobody
panics they get together talk it out, and fix the problem. because the team has
one goal in mind - |

A hot and muggy day started with team at the Steger library for 2 hours showing the car. At the track it got hotter it seemed. We made some changes to the car over the week and went and practiced and liked the feel. Josh ran a 20.954 qualifying good for 2nd quick. In the heat race he started inside 5th row and moved up to finish 5th in the heat. The feature had Josh on the outside 4th row. At the start he moved up quickly and was in 3rd by lap 6. He made his move for the lead then a yellow came out and put him back in 2nd. On the first lap of the restart Josh again went for the lead and ran door to door with Jeff Cannon for 21 laps and lost by a foot at the line. Over the last 10 laps Josh said the car was getting looser and looser. After going to the scales the team realized the left rear tire was almost flat. Josh did a great job holding on to finish second. |
