Kevin left the shop and the broken #18 to attend the ballgame. Upon returning, he and the crew replaced the broken part with a new one and loaded for the 3 hour drive. 

The #18 arrived to the track just as practice was concluding. Upon unloading the car, Kevin qualified in the 4th position. When coming off the track, he hit the speed bumps and bent the mount for the sway bar. The crew worked to try and fix the car as best as possible, but in the feature the mount gave way.

Kevin Peel had a busy night this past Saturday at South Alabama Speedway. Not only was he in his familiar black #18 Modified car, but he also ran the red #6 Vintage car normally driven by Clint Boggs. Overall it was a successful night for the Chipley, FL driver.

In the modified feature, Peel came from his 7th place starting position to 5th at the end of the first lap. He would then find himself in a tight five car battle for the second spot. Towards the end of the race, the car's handling would start to go away. He would manage to hold on to a strong 4th place finish.

The vintage feature was picture perfect for Peel. He drew the 6th starting position, and quickly showed he was the car to beat, passing three cars on the very first lap.
