For the second consecutive event, Mark Pawuk has posted a career best elapsed
time only to end up the 17th qualifier – first alternate during the NHRA Torco Race Fuels Nationals.
“I can’t explain it,” Pawuk said after qualifying ended, “and I don’t have a solution for it either. No matter what we do, things just aren’t clicking for us.
“There’s no doubt about the fact that I’m facing some very hard decisions here,” he added.
“I’m seriously debating whether or not we’ll compete in the year’s last two races. We’re obviously not involved in the points race, nor are we competitive right now. Add into that some serious problems I’m having outside of racing and, in all candor, right now I just don’t have a lot of enthusiasm.

“I haven’t made any firm decisions as to what I’m going to do about the rest of the year, but it’s obvious I’ll have to work things out within the next few days.”
After notching a career-best elapsed time of 6.671 seconds at the Toyo Tires Nationals two weeks ago Pawuk improved on that with 6.663 second effort in Virginia -- .003 seconds short of the bump spot.
“Ya know, everyone’s been talking about how many times we’ve been seventeenth this year,” Pawuk said. “After we ran that sixty-three-three one of the other drivers came up to me and said, Well, now we know the bump’s going to be sixty-three-zero, and he was right. The thing is, I think we suspected it would be, too.”
