Stott pedals out of Maryland

MECHANICSVILLE, Md. - Quain Stott and his LeeBoy Equipment headed into Maryland with high hopes and expectations of winning rounds. The track that gave Stott a win in 2006 in route to his championship wasn't as kind in 2008.

"It was a tough race for us," Stott said. "We got the car qualified and then I just didn't have the right clutch set up to get past the first round."

Stott faced Thomas Patterson in round one, both would peddle their cars and recover to put in respectable runs, but Stott would fall short of beating Patterson to the finish line.

"So far it's been a tough year for us. We've got to figure out how to go a few rounds and get our feet back under us."
