Seth Takes 2nd At Grays Harbor Raceway.
Round 4 of the 360 series in Elma concluded with Seth taking home a 2nd place finish at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma.
The night started with Seth timing in sixth quick which put him starting fourth for heat race number 2. Seth started his heat with a brilliant pass on the top of turns 1 and 2 and quickly took the lead after the first lap. From there he was never challenged and raced away to his first heat race win for 2010.
The invert did not offer any favors to the team and Seth found himself starting in 6th place for the A Main. After working the top so effectively in the heat race Seth was hoping that a similiar sweep around 1 and 2 would sling shot him to the front, but the Grays Harbor track had gone away and it was clear that it was going to be a battle on the bottom for the 25 lap feature.
A dusty track made visibility difficult for the fans at the track but Seth worked his way through the field with timed passes on the bottom of the track. After 20 laps Seth found himself in third place and quickly on the heels of Shaun Rice and leader Henry Van Damm. Both had been out in front since the green but with no cautions Seth found himself having to burn through the laps to get his shot. on lap 22 Seth got by rice going into three and raced onto the tale tank of Van Damm.
On lap 23 a back marker managed to position himself between Seth and Henry going into turns 1 and 2 and that proved to be the difference at the end as Seth was unable to get a good shot at sliding under Van Damm before the checkered.
Another great run by Seth and the team coming from sixth to get to second on a track that was providing no passing opportunities during the feature. “I made a mistake during qualifying and that proved to be the difference in me probably winning tonight. All in all I’m really happy with the car we were fast again tonight” said Seth after the race who holds the points lead for the 360 series at Elma after four rounds of racing.
Seth and the team will be back at Elma next Saturday night for Round 5 of the 360 series.

Motor Issues End Knoxville 360 Nationals
The motor issues that have plagued Seth and the team unfortunately reared their ugly head before heading to Knoxville for the 360 Nationals.
With Seth’s number 1 motor out of commission the team was forced to run its backup motor and right from the get go it was evident that the motor was not going to have the horsepower to be competitive. Seth timed in with a 16.6 which left him 38th position after qualifying during Fridays preliminary event.
The time put Seth at the back of his heat race and he was unfortunately unable to move forward. The result left him in the C Main where he would finish in 3rd place ending his night and 360 Nationals. “I am just so frustrated right now, we had a great trip home and to come out here and run like this is really dissapointing” said Seth after the race.
Seth will be returning back to Washington this weekend as a result of ASCS National races being canceled. This will give him and the team time to get the motors fixed before the head back out to finish the remainder of the ASCS season.
