JOSH CARTWRIGHT
Josh Cartwright was eager to get his day started when he arrived at State Farm stadium in Glendale on Saturday morning. His season has been exceeding all expectations as of late and he was ready to keep it going in that direction. Josh knew the track conditions were going to be optimum but also knew that the Arizona soil would get slippery. He found his flow early when practice began and it was looking good for Josh early on. Due to the triple crown format, Josh knew it was imperative to qualify inside the top 18 to avoid the dreaded LCQ. Unfortunately, he would come up just a couple spots short and was forced to line up. When the gate dropped for the LCQ, Josh had tunnel vision as he launched to the front immediately. He would maintain his position all the way to the finish as he secured his spot in the night show. All three of the Main Event races went a similar way for Josh as he used his experience to stay on two wheels and maintain consistency. Josh would end up a very commendable 21st on the night.
