After missing Colin's stock car feature win last weekend, we were out to prove this weekend that our absence wasn't the lucky charm.
It is pretty unlikely that a driver will win two weekends in a row so it was not a complete surprise he finished 10th in the feature last night at Golden Sands. We figured we better give it another try tonight in Marshfield. And I'm so glad we did.
Colin's qualifying time was good. He finished second in the heat race, which concluded with some drama we don't need to get into here. Let's just say we were a bit anxious about what might unfold during the 20-lap feature. We just hoped for a fair, clean race.
Thankfully, that's what we got. Colin started near the back of the pack and made his way toward the front. A minor crash (not him) with 8 laps to go put him in the lead and no one came close to him again after the restart. He won! His first time winning the Superstock feature at the Marshfield Super Speedway -- and just like at Golden Sands Speedway, probably their youngest driver to do so. Yea, Colin!
Maybe we are the good-luck charm after all! We went into the pits afterward to congratulate him. Since he started school already this past week, I said, "Don't ya just hope your teachers on Tuesday ask what you did over the weekend and you can say, 'Oh, I just won a feature'?"
The big, braces-filled grin told me he is looking forward to telling a few people. And he should! I'm sure my only accomplishment three days into 9th grade was memorizing my new locker combination.
Keep up the good work, Colin! We're so proud of you!

So glad you got to see him win this time! It would have been fun to see him race last week, maybe next year sometime(before football starts!). Enjoy your weekend! Love, Ro
