    Don Bowles is used to driving ROUSH cars that you set straight and mash it, but his new car is proving to be more of a challenge. He has been fighting spinning tires all weekend on every run he has taken his Hot Street Maverick down the track. To try and correct the problem the team took one round of shock out, added 3/8 in travel to one of front shocks. The next run the car stood up on the rear tires a little too much before heading toward the wall. After coming what seemed to be inching from the wall, Don let out and abouted the run. For the next run, they will be looking to find a middle sweet spot between the wheels not touching the ground and shaking all over the track.

    Bowles made it straight down the track in his Hot Street Maverick to an 8.84 @ 150.22. Robbie Blankenship needed a 8.720 to back up his 8.634 record pass from yesterday and if you guessed right, he ran a 8.720 @ 150.88 mph. A spread of .25 covers the naturally aspirated field.
