Snyder Heads to Home Track Looking for a Win
Thus far, Mick Snyder hasn’t achieved what he was hoping for in the 2007 season. Despite moments of excellence, Snyder has been unable to put together a winning performance, but he and the Team aren’t giving up yet. After qualifying #3 in St. Louis this past weekend, Snyder went out in the semi-finals when the car shook at around the 300 foot mark.
“This is a great Team. We look at all the data and we know we have more power than we ever have had, but we have been having a hard time getting it applied to the race track. Once we can do that, we think that we are going to be quicker than ever. We all know racing is a hard sport, if it was easy everyone would be out here doing it,” said Snyder.
The Team sponsored by Knoll Gas – Torco Racing Fuels and Powersource Transportation will continue their defense of their Division 3 championship at the Lucas Oil Divisional Series event next weekend in Indianapolis. They have had success at this event before with a win in 2004 and a runner-up finish last year.
“We go into every weekend thinking this could be the weekend everything turns around. I really think once this Team gets going we will get on a roll. We still have over half a season left to go. Right now though we are going to concentrate on giving it our all in Indy and then we will go from there.”
