Ryan Lawler has been a man on fire as of late. He is the PASS South points leader. He recently won the Winchester 400 at Winchester Speedway. He is fast everywhere he goes.
However, Lawler’s trip to the Music City Motorplex for the All American 400 was one of the recent weekends he’d like to forget. But then again, maybe the weekend will help serve as a stepping stone to getting his car back winning form before the final big races of the season.
In Nashville, Lawler started 23rd and finished 26th, dropping out with a broken rocker arm.
“We struggled from the time we unloaded this weekend,” said Lawler. “We kept working on it and working on it. We got to take it back to the shop and check everything out. There has to be something bent. Everything we tried to throw at it we couldn’t get the push (condition) out of it. Then today, we threw something radical at it and I was bad loose. I had to run the outside because if I would run the inside, I would have had to put more wheel into it and would have backed it into the wall. It was a handful.
“Something really isn’t right. We have been here a number of times and always run up front.”
Lawler will be back in action this coming weekend when he races in the World Crown 200 at Peachstate Speedway. Then, he will be back in action with the PASS South Super Late Models for the Mason-Dixon Meltdown at Concord Motorsport Park. Finally, he’ll wrap up the season at the Snowball Derby in Pensacola, Florida at Five Flags Speedway in early December.
