3/19: Sorry for the late update. Jimmy got his first top 10 finish at Atlanta by finishing 7th. This past Sunday, Jimmy wasn't so fortunate. After qualifying 5th, things looked good for Sunday. His car was good for 30 laps and then would fade. He ran in the top 10 for the early part of the race. Mike Skinner got into Jimmy coming off turn four and Jimmy hit the wall. With the toe knocking out, the car was never the same after that. He pitted early and while racing John Andretti, he got into him sending Andretti into the wall. This left Jimmy 2 laps down, and Andretti mad. He drifted back to try and fix the car under caution and worked his way back from 29th to 21st at the finish. He maintains 23rd in points heading into Bristol.

BUSCH NEWS: Jimmy will race the #6 Food City Dodge this weekend. In other Busch news, Spencer Motor Ventures will make its return to the Busch Series at Texas on March 29th. The team will be part of an alliance with the #12 FitzBradshaw Racing team [driver Kerry Earnhardt]. The team plans to run 5-6 Busch Series races with sponsorship from JaniKing.
