NASCAR Whelen All-American Series: Bobby Timmons<\/strong>
\n Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Race Report<\/strong><\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH, Maine \u2013 Bobby Timmons III of Windham, Maine, finished fifth in the season-opening NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Pro Series 50 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, June 1. Timmons recovered from misfortune in his qualifying race and a mid-pack starting spot to roll to the Top-5 in the Mulkern Racing No. 48 Southern Maine Chrysler Dodge Jeep\/Timmons Machine Dodge. Timmons was one of many drivers to come out of the feature event showing signs of a rough night behind the wheel, but he was encouraged by a strong start to the season. He’ll return to action next Saturday night, June 8, for Round No. 2 of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series at the .333-mile oval.

BOBBY, HOW WOULD YOU SUM UP THE DAY?<\/strong>
\nWe started off the day really good, and we were really fast all day in practice. Then we drove the heat race, and I don’t know if everybody’s brains just shut off, because we got wrecked on Lap \u00bd. Then we got wrecked again on Lap 3. Then like five other dudes got wrecked, too, which wasn’t cool. I’m not all about that.
\nWe had a bleeder stick (in the heat race), so we had no stagger and the car was really tight. We ended up finishing seventh. We still managed to gain a spot (from our starting position), but I don’t know how. We made the right changes for the feature. I just put the car in the hands of my crew, and they made all the right changes and we finished fifth.<\/p>\n

DID YOU HAVE BETTER THAN A FIFTH-PLACE CAR?<\/strong>
\nWe were catching (fourth-place Bill Rodgers) at the end. I don’t know if we had enough to get by him, but we were catching him at the end. It’s opening night, the car’s in one piece, I’ll take fifth-place. It’s a good start to the year.<\/p>\n

WAS THERE MUCH DAMAGE TO THE CAR?<\/strong>
\nWe had a little bit of damage, but compared to what I think some of these guys are going to have this year, I’ll take a bumper or two every week. I think some of these guys will be missing entire race cars the way we were racing tonight. We’ll see. On to next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
