This time 22 car's started the field. Many were Summerville boys that came to race. Donnie started in the first heart race and did really well, he had to get use to the new set up and said the car did not feel right. The second heat many car's crashed in turn one and Donnie watched very close at what could happen if you dont listen to your spotter. Donnie started in the back, a choice him and his Dad and crew chief DJ made. "I need more seat time before I start in the front, and need to get all the bugs worked out the car". With all the car's the track got fast, quick. There were several cautions and Donnie got through them with no problem. He did get lapped a few times and felt a shaking in the car. He did make to to the checkered flag and while coming back around to come in, his tire came off. "I hear a ping, thought nothing of it, then I seen a tire roll by me". Laughing Donnie said " I said is that my tire, and the car slammed on the ground Yep it's mine". I didn't panic, I was calling on the radio but no one was there, But Mr. Richard Barnhill was, he came over checked everything out, and sit with me till the tow truck came to get me. "kinda fun". Donnie did finish 13th. Pretty good for 22 car's. He finished, didn't mess the car up, and had a blast. Donnie's # 1 fan and best buddy Mr. Michael Elliott was there. He give Donnie some great advice and words of wisdom before the race. Michael is a really great guy, if you never have talked to him, just walk up and strike up a chat. You will see why he is on Donnie's hero list. Michael finished 2nd. Donnie will be off next week, due to Danny Efland's NASCAR BUSH RACE. Don't forget to watch it! Good Luck Danny! Donnie great job. http://donniejohnsonracin29.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/357bbe2537e68fc14066d0acd438469b_467016ea.writeback Wed, 13 Jun 2007 11:10:18 -0500 Danny Efland will be racing his first nascar bush race Sat the 23 in Milwaukee, watch it on TV.

Donnie raced the stock 4 cyc class against the MEN. He raced a heat race and then the main event, Donnie started 13th out of 15 cars and had to come in the pit with the carborator overloading. Onced fixed he was back out on the track. Taking the checkered flag Donnie spun coming off of turn 4 and brushed the wall with the back bumper. Car wasnt hurt, Donnie wasnt hurt. Donnie finised 8th. Not to bad for a 11 year old. After the race Donnie said "that car spun around so fast, but it was cool". Several drivers came to shake his had or a pat on the back, Vet.Driver Richard Barnhill said "Ive been out run by two Johnson's now, bad thing is I remember when this one was born and now he is out running me on the track. Think it might be time for me to retire". Donnie goes back to FMS this Saturday night.
