With Jimmy's experience racing > here in 2001 Hooter's ProCup race he knew how to get around the .4 mile oval > track. Having a good practice run, Crew Chief Doug Phifer and Car Chief > Kenny Seamen felt that they would qualify the car on the race setup. Jimmy > qualified the car in the 20th starting spot. At the start of the race Jimmy > was moving the Team Chevrolet Monte Carlo up though the field. Jimmy took it > easy the first part of the race staying out of trouble. Caution came out on > lap 55 allowing him too close back up on the leaders. On lap 80 the 46 car > blew a engine going into the first turn and took a couple of cars out with > him. Fortunately Jimmy was able to miss the crash. USAR officials red > flagged the race to clear the track of cars and debris before restarting the > race. Still on the lead lap Jimmy did need the red flag because when his > tires cooled down and > > restarted the race the grip seem to go away and effect the handling of the > car. The lead car put Jimmy a lap down on lap 118 just before the half > point of the race. On lap 130 jimmy radioed the crew and said that with 4 > stickers that on a restart he could get his lap back with a little luck. > Caution came out on lap148 and on two trips down pit road Jimmy had four > stickers and a fill tank of fuel. On the restart Jimmy got stuck in traffic > and had to work his way around some slow cars but was moving towards the > front. But on lap 180 misfortune stuck the Team Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The > car had been bottoming out and wore a hole in the oil pan. After pitting and > inspection the damage, Jimmy was forced to park the car for the night.
