Mother Nature has won a couple of nights so far during Pfeifer Racing's stay at Volusia Speedway Park. On the nights they have gotten to race Steven has made the A Main 2 of the 3 nights with 14th and 5th place finishes. The 5th place finish moved him directly to the Gator Championship race on Monday.

Pfeifer Racing's night 2 went about the same as night 1, not good. Ended up finished towards the back of the heat and middle of the B Main.

Night 3, however, started of great with Steven winning his heat and transfering directly to the A Main. While the feature could have gone better the #11 Portal Service Racing - Harris Chassis car crossed the line in 8th. Upon looking the car over after the race it became apparent as to why Steven dropped back to the 8th position from the 3rd place spot he was handily holding on to most of the race, a severely bent left rear shock.

Night 4 didn't go as well as night 3 as Steven placed 3rd in his heat, one position short of going to the A Main. The 3rd place heat finish sent him to a B Main where he finished 2nd. A Main action was pretty brutal with a bunch of cars dropping out. Steven managed to make it all 25 laps for a 16th place finish.

Night 5, actually DAY 6, as the January 30th race was rained out and moved to a noon start on January 31st. In general, day races are hard for the track crew to get the track prepped evenly due to the sun. This day race was no different. The track was tacky almost everywhere except a few spots in the corners. Steven managed to find one of those spots on the opening lap and spun the tires and went around. He was able to come back for a 2nd place heat finish. Though 2nd would have been good enough all other nights he needed to win the heat this night to advance directly to the A Main. B Main went fairly smooth and he finished 3rd to once again make it into the A Main. This A Main was 75 laps and $5000 to win!!!!  Steven started the A Main in the 21th position. 38 laps in the caution flew and the race was stopped for the cars to top off fuel. At this time Steven was up to 10th place. After a few more cautions through out the last 37 laps Steven went forward and back a few positions to end the night and his week at the Eastbay Winternationals crossing the line for the checkered flag in the 11th position.

Overall, for the first time racing in Florida, the week went well and Steven showed that he can race with some of the biggest racers in the country.

Next stop - VOLUSIA SPEEDWAY - Deleon Springs, FL

The race on Saturday night, January 30th was rained out and moved to Sunday afternoon.
