For Immediate Release June 9, 2008:
Carroll Motorsports was back in action last Saturday
evening, June 7th at Sandusky Speedway. Andy qualified fourth fastest out of the field of 13 cars. The effort
was enough to get him into the Helmet Dash race reserved for the fastest four qualifiers in each division and provides the
privilege of participating in the autograph session that precedes the race. Sandusky Speedway brought back the autograph
session this year and it gives the fans an opportuntiy to meet the race car drivers and see the cars up close before the nights
racing action begins. The team got out to a fast start for the evening by winning the helmet dash and then adding a
heat race victory as well. Carroll started sixth in the feature event and got off to a rough start when the outside
row of cars ahead of him began to fall backwards. Andy eventually found the bottom groove and settled into a single
file running order around eighth place. By the end of the 25 lap feature event, Andy managed to secure a very hard earned
second place finish. Although they didn't win the main event, they still had a great night by winning
two out of three races. The team also managed to regain a slight edge in the points championship standings. When
asked about the championship, Andy had this to say: "We feel good about where we're at, but realize it's
going to be a long year and we have some very formidable competition in this division. The only thing we can do
is go out and do the best we can possibly do every week, because we can't control what the competition does."
The team is going to take advantage of a week off to catch up on some necessary maintenance items on the car. They look
forward to being back at Sandusky on June 21.
