Mid Pack Start Yields 2nd Place Finish
On a steamy Sunday morning in the foothills of the Poconos, the Onderko Motorsports Team unloaded the #58 from the hauler. Some last minute check's and a set of four new tires to scrub in and they were set for the first round of practice.
At the conclusion of practice, Justin and the #58 were less than one tenth off the fastest posted time for the combined practice. High hopes for a good starting spot in the heat was first and foremost on everyone's mind.
Justin, laughing, commented after the drivers meeting " Maybe we have to take the handicapper out to dinner to get a good starting spot. Once again we are starting in the back of the field."
Justin brought home the #58 in the 3rd spot in the second Heat Race.

We are just going to have to be really aggressive today." Aggressive was certainly the right word. As the field thundeed down the front straight with the drop of the green flag, Justin took the #58 inside of the pole sitter #35c driving hard into turn one. Coming off turn two they were three wide, Justin on the inside, the #35c in the middle and the #88 on the outside. As they reach the midpoint of the back stretch Justin had the nose of the #58 out in front.

After a dismal start to the
weekend, Sunday turned out to be sunny and
cool with a tremendous amount of racing
action in the last race of the year for the
Onderko Motorsports Team.
As the team started to unload, we caught up with Justin to talk about his chances in today’s race. “This has been the week from hell; we dropped a rear in testing on Tuesday and a power steering pump on Thursday. We had ignition problems in between all of that. So when you ask me what my chances are in today’s race – I would say darn good. We are at the track and ready to race. The team has done a fantastic job this week. There were many late night getting ready for this one. I am going to do my best to bring home a win today. We have not had much success here in the past here – but I feel good about this one today.”
