JOSH CARTWRIGHT
Josh Cartwright was excited to make the trip to Florida and keep his impressive seasoning going. When Josh arrived at Raymond James Stadium he was excited to get the day going but was nervous for the forecasted rain. He didn’t let it bother him too much though as he hit the track with intensity. He circulated with intention as he navigated the rocky soil and kept his momentum moving. By the end of qualifying, Josh had impressed all of Tampa as he nailed down a time good enough for 22nd overall. When the night show began, Josh lined up on the outside for his Heat. When the gate finally dropped, Josh got a great jump but was pushed wide in the first corner. He put his head down and worked his way all the way up to 16th by the finish. Filled with angst, he launched off the gate for the LCQ, but again was pushed wide. He had his work cut out for him and he knew it as he started to make some passes. Unfortunately he would just run out of laps, climbing his way up to 8th by the finish.
