LAS VEGAS (Nov. 2) – The 2008 JEGS Promod Challenge ended on a high note for Tim Tindle of Santa Rosa Beach, FL when he clinched a ninth place ranking in the points standings. It's Tindle's second straight Top 10 finish of Pro Mod competition.
Heading into Sunday's final eliminations of the eighth annual ACDelco Las Vegas Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Tindle knew he had his work cut out for him. Even though his race car had been fairly fast and consistent over the past few races, with the series coming to an end, he knew a strong performance would be required to hold a strong standing in the points.
Unfortunately, Tindle lost to Taylor Lastor in the first round of eliminations after his Ford GT 500E Mustang lost traction after the starting line. Despite the first round lost, Tindle managed to finish ninth in the series points and was awarded at the JEGS Promod Challenge Awards Banquet.
"It was a tuff round loss, but this is only the beginning," Tindle said. "After a rough and rocky start this season, we were fortunate to finish in the top 10. This team has worked hard to get this program turned around and it has."
"We are putting this season in the books and have already started preparing for next year. The competition will be even tougher but we are working on some things to make us an even more competitive team on the track."
"We are looking forward to next year but we are definitely going to miss Steve Engel. Steve was great both on the track and off. I think it is great that JEGS created the Steve Engel "Big Heart Award" because Steve was a friend to everyone. He will be missed."
Tindle will finish the season off at Emerald Coast Dragway's Heads Up Outlaw Nationals this weekend in Holt, FL.
Tindle Racing would like to specially thank TEI (Tindle-Enteprises Inc), MSD Ignition, Goodyear Tires, TORCO Racing Fuels, NGK Sparkplugs, Lucas Oil, and Huntsville Engine for their continuing support. For more information on Tindle Racing visit :: Tindle Racing ::
