VMS Motorsports

Both Chris Johnson and Jim Bucher spent a cloudy and cool summer evening in Beaver Dam on Saturday. Johnsons first race back after the wreck at Oshkosh 2 weeks ago, and Buchers first night with a newly configured steering/suspension set-up.

First up was the VMS Motorsports Legends car of Jim Bucher. The set-up was just a tick off, and the car wouldn't handle. Bucher finished 7th in his 10 car Heat race.

Next was the VMS Motorsports Modified of Chris Johnson. Johnson was penalized for being "late" to the staging area, and had to start at the rear of the field. he was able to drive through traffic for a finish of 5th, putting him in one of the 3 "B" mains.

In the "B", Chris was in 3rd the entire race, one spot out of the transfer position, then the engine blew on the last lap. Johnson still finished 3rd, but the engine is a complete loss.

In the "A" main for the Legends, Buchers pre-race adjustments paid off. Starting last after being relegated to the rear of the 20 car field at the start for a loose hood pin, Bucher maneuvered the Homes.com, The Agency Real Estate #17 up to the 8th position before hitting a rut in turn 4 and spinning down the front stretch. No caution flag was thrown, as Bucher kept the Precise Home Inspections car under power. He was able to race his way back through the field to an 11th place finish
