With a 1st place finish early in the year (you can read about that here),there was a lot of reason to be confident about the 2011 season, but a few miscues dropped the team to 6th place in June (click here) and as low as 8th place just last week. Sunday's final run at Brainerd was a big boost for the team and for the confidence of Driver Kris Hool. Kris has always said that his Crew Chief , and brother, Kevin has given him a car to win and that was proven as the Chevy Monte Carlo, named Ghost2, was 5.675 seconds in  a quarter of a mile with a top speed of  256.06 mph. Kris took a few minutes from the road to visit with us about the race and the rest of the season.

Here are the highlights and the winning run from Sunday.

You can catch all the action from Brainerd as the races will be rebroadcast on ESPN2 this Sunday night, August 28th at 9:00 pm mtn.
