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.
