 Past Results:  Last week found the Martin Motorsports Team and NOS
> Energy/Mafia Motorsports Maxim powered by Kriner at the Dirt Track at Las
> Vegas Motorspeedway.  On the opening night substitute driver Rob Chaney
> qualified 15th and found himself on the bubble for the dash.  Chaney, 
> would
> finish 3rd in the second heat and by way of non qualifiers be on the pole
> for the 2nd dash.  At the drop of the green for the 6 lap dash Chaney 
> would
> mash the loud pedal and storm to the lead and not look back.  The NOS 
> Energy
> Drinks/Mafia Motorsports Maxim would start the "A" feature on the outside 
> of
> the front row.

> A very slick and rubber down race track faced the competition on a very
> brisk evening.  Rob would hold 2nd until a very tight race car came into
> play and relegated him back to 5th.  As the laps wore on and the track ate
> at the right rear tire a loose  condition developed and would find Chaney
> settling for 8th place.  Not too shabby out of 37 entries and Rob's 
> highest
> finish with the World of Outlaws.

> Night 2 would not be as kind to the #36 Martin Motorsports team.  Winds
> trackside were blowing anywhere from 30 to 50 mph and during qualifying 
> Rob
> hit a strong headwind and had to lift off the gas qualifying 30th and
> starting in the back of the 2nd heat where Chaney would tangle with Greg
> Wilson and finish 6th one spot out of a transfer.  Due to the qualifying 
> Rob
> would start 9th in the "B" main and have to battle for a top 4 finish to
> make the "A".  Climbing up on the wheel and running high or low Chaney 
> took
> the NOS Energy Drinks/Mafia Motorsports Maxim to a 4th place finish and a
> 23rd starting position in the "A" main.  While Rob appeared strong in the
> opening laps a shock cable broke and would relegate him to a 20th place
> finish.

> Quotes: "It was an up and down weekend." Said Chaney. "We had a really 
> good
> car Thursday night and some luck was on our side.  I think during the
> feature there was some things I could have done differently but when you 
> see
> a guy flatten a tire after only 8 laps in on a heavy laden rubber down 
> track
> you take the cautious side.  We brought home a strong finish and that's
> great but when you start up front you really want to win it.  Friday night
> we just hit that wind and killed our momentum in qualifying.  I tangled 
> with
> Greg (Wilson) in turn 1 with 2 laps to go for the transfer spot and that
> just hurt to have to run the "B".  We were really strong in the "B" and
> think we could have had a top 15 finish in the "A" but when the shock 
> cable
> broke that was the end of that."

> "I am looking forward to being at the Devil's Bowl this weekend." Chaney
> continued. "I'd like to get these guys a win.  The Martin Motorsports Team
> is an awesome bunch of guys and I want to thank them again for this
> opportunity.  Hopefully before Jason gets back in the car we can get a win
> together."
