2008 Jeremy Mullinax Racing at Music City Motorplex

 

There couldn't be a better way to spend your 4th of July other than the Music City Motorplex in Nashville Tn. and that is where the JMR Racing team spent there weekend. Some referred to the track as the Super Speedway of short track racing. The 07 machine was not lightning fast off the trailer but Mullinax was able to qualify in the 11th starting position. As the Kenny Chesney concert and the firework display kicked off over in the distance of the Music City Motorplex so did the start of the RC/Cola and Moonpie 100. When the green flag was displayed Jeremy made a charge for the top 10, settling down in the 8th position after only 15 laps of the race. When the first caution flag was thrown after a long green flag run Mullinax reported that his car was quickly starting to fade away, even after a brake adjustment didn't seem to help the car that much Mullinax still fought hard and battled for every position. A late race caution involving Mullinax and several others including Taylor Sattlerfield and Micheal Pope, caused when a car checked up and was turned into the backstretch wall ended the night for several driver but Jeremy was able to continue and take the checkered flag in the 14th position which would move Jeremy up 2 spots in the points battle to the 8th position. " We had a pretty good car at the beginning of the race but the car feel off pretty quick and we was just holding on from there" Mullinax said. "Im not really sure what happen with the big pile up on the backstrech it looked like someone got turned in the wall and then just may la from there, I hate it for Satterfield and Pope and all those guys, just another example of tough luck."
