Kobyluck Leads At Dover Before
Accident Relegates Team To 23rd Place Finish
Dover, DE (September 27, 2010): Matt Kobyluck led two laps of the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East season finale at Dover International Speedway Friday evening before hitting the wall and prematurely ending his day. The No. 40 Mohegan Sun Casino Chevrolet lost a right front tire before the contact was made. They were credited with a 23rd place finish in the race and a tenth place finish in the final point standings.
“We’re a better team than (10th). What it boils down to is that we needed to be more competitive at a lot of the events,” said Kobyluck. “Obviously, finishing tenth in the points is very unsettling for me and very disappointing.”
Kobyluck was confident for the Sunoco 150 after two practice sessions on Thursday afternoon put them among the top-10 fastest cars of the day. He backed that up with a qualifying effort of 150.238 mph (23.962 seconds) to earn a ninth place starting position.
