The Maxam Equipment Cobalt looked flawless
nearly all weekend during the ADRL double header. However, John Montecalvo
and team ran into some issues that forced a tire change between rounds one
and two of the Hardee's Independence Drags. Montecalvo was up against
Cary Goforth in round two. Although Montecalvo was the quickest car in
round one, an early move toward the wall in the run against Goforth caused
him to abort, giving Goforth the easy win. Montecalvo is not looking back
on his weekend in disappointment, however, with his win of the Summer
Drags on Friday night still fresh on his mind:
"You can't win them all! This Maxam Equipment Cobalt performed great all
weekend. Unfortunately we ran into some tire issues and had to change to a
new set. So we were a little lost on our combination headed into second
round. I had to abort the run, but I can't complain about the weekend. My
team did a fantastic job - Pat, Doug, and all the guys. Sonny has given us
some great power to work with, as well. It was great to have Maxam
Equipment on board and I'm glad that we could give them a win. They're the
best at what they do and a great company to work with. Also thanks to CAM2
Oil for their support of our team. We had a good weekend overall, and I'm
not complaining. Winning one out of two isn't bad!"
The next event on the tour, the ADRL NationalGuard.com U.S. Drags II is
only a few short weeks away, and Montecalvo already has his sights set
there. "We'll get our new tires worked out before Richmond and be ready to
go there. I've got a great car and team, and we've shown what we're
capable of this weekend. I'm looking forward to going at it again." With
his first ADRL win now under his belt, Montecalvo is hungry for more.
