Outside of a few starts at the end of the 2013 season, it has been almost 10 years since LaSalle last competed in the Sportsman division. Over that period, Jeremy took on the role of crew chief of the M96 Modified. The timing was right for Jeremy to get back behind the wheel this season.
Saturday night started off with time trials to determine the lineup for the qualifying heat races. LaSalle timed fourth in his group, placing him outside of row two for the preliminary qualifier. He maintained that position throughout the race, finishing in fourth. The team made some adjustments to the car for the 40 lap main event, and lined up from the ninth position. Jeremy exercised a great deal of patience in the first few laps of the event. The first caution was displayed on lap nine, and LaSalle had advanced just one spot to eighth. As the laps counted down, the car got better, and by halfway he was up to fifth place. Over the second half of the race, LaSalle had one of the fastest cars on the track and advanced one more position to finish fourth.
“It was a good start to the season for us. The car was really good, especially towards the end of the race”, says LaSalle. “We are looking forward to getting back here next week and try to get the car just a little bit better”.
