Twenty-one year old Jacob Goede made his first
trip to Madison Int’l Speedway a memorable
one. The Minnesota driver qualified seventh,
and led a few laps before finishing sixth in the
main event.
“This is our first time here and only the second
time on the car, so we were thrilled with how it
went,” said Goede. “The track really came right
to me. The car was a little tight, so we loosened
it up a bit and by the second practice we were
the fastest car out there. We were a little taller
on gear than we wanted to be, but the high line
actually helped me keep my momentum up and
kind of saved me.”
