Jim Bucher and the VMS Motorsports, The Agency Real Estate, Childish Concepts, HarmonHomes.com, ULTIMATE EARBUDS #17 Legends car returned to Beaver Dam in hopes to finish what they started last week, namely 2 top 5's thrown away by driver error. Twas not to be.

We knew it would be a bad day when the hauler wouldn't start, causing us to get to the track over an hour later than usual, missing the hotlap sessions while getting the car ready.

Bucher started his heat race in 2nd, took the lead at the drop of the green, and proceeded to spin the car out in turn one. With the one un-assisted spin rule, Bucher was sent to the pits.

Realizing now what they had to deal with for a track surface, the team changed the set-up for the A Main, which would have Jim starting 12th. Buchers car was fast, as he maneuvered his way up to seventh position before an early race caution, but at the re-start, the handling went away, and Buchers #17 faded back to 11th, where he would have finished if the first and second place cars wouldn't have wrecked in turn 4 of the final lap, handing Bucher an undeserved 9th place finish.

The month of July, which started off so promising, will be one we are glad to see behind us.

Watch out August, here we come, starting off this Thursday, August 4th, at Thunder Hill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay
