The First Race of the 2005 Season was March 18th.
Garrett's best race on Friday March 18th was the Heat Race to determine where Garrett would start in the Feature Race. He started in 7th and battled 5 cars as he advanced to finish a strong 2nd.  Garrett was awarded the pole for the Feature Race! Between races Garrett spent some time in the stands with his fans. Garrett said his #24 car handled great.

The #24 car didn't handle as well in the Feature Race and Garrett struggled to 4th place until a caution with 2 laps to go. The first race of the season saw Garrett place in the Top 5 with a 5th place finish! The fans watched the field of 18 cars fight for a win and only 10 cars finished the race. Garrett and the #24 car brought the fans real excitement, real fast, and we all had real fun!

Garrett was happy to get back to begin this season. He has been working hard building a winning team to launch a perfect season.

  More 2005 race results will be posted soon.  It's going to be a great year!
Garrett's other favorite ride.
