Josh Reeves brought home the No. 40 FRYESTRONG/Texas Sales Dodge in 23rd position Saturday night in his ARCA Series racing debut at Salem Speedway in Indiana.
Reeves reported a tight condition throughout much of the race. He started in the 21st spot and had worked his way up to 17th when a right front tire caused trouble for the driver about halfway through the 200-lap race. Reeves was able to keep the car from sustaining any damage and the entry for the Carter 2 Motorsports team had a positive showing in the contest.
It was Tom Hessert with the win in the Federated Auto Parts Fall Classic 200 presented by JayC Food Stores.
“I learned a lot in the race and did better than I originally thought I would,” commented Reeves after the race. “I felt that I adapted quickly to the car and to the short track racing style. I made the most of the whole experience and can’t wait for the next time I can race. Thank you to all of my sponsors for this amazing opportunity.”
Reeves had the help of http://www.gofundme.com in collecting funds to run in the race with FRYESTRONG, Texas Sales, Meadows Decals, J2Mayfield, and those who donated.
