Heading into the Semi-Finals we were matched against Samuel Hubinette in the tried and proven Mopar Viper as the Mopar Challenger was not ready for the 1st event. On the lead run, Robbie looked to have the advantage over Sam. During the chase run, Robbie did not want to leave anything to question and was on the rear bumper of the Mopar Viper. Robbie was a bit too aggressive on the final turn and spun out. The team quickly regrouped to prepare for the battle for 3rd place.
The 3rd place match was between Robbie and "The Golden Child" Tanner Foust in his NASCAR Powered V8 Scion TC (does that even sound right?)

Robbie gave chase in the 1st run and spun out while following Tanner when he saw a flash of red from the brake lights. Luckily, Tanner faulted in the 2nd run hitting Robbie and setting up a "One More Time" During the “One More Time” run, it was too close to call and the Judges called for another “One More Time.”In the 2nd “One More Time”, Robbie pushed a bit too hard and went a little wide hitting the wall and losing his angle. In the end the Judges awarded 3rd place to Tanner and the Rockstar Energy Drink/Hankook Tire V8 Scion TC while Robbie and the Hankook Tire/Dynamic Autosports 350z took a very respectable 4th place. The Hankook Tire/Dynamic Autosports 350Z has proven to be a top competitor and we are shooting for the championship this year. Anything less is unacceptable in the eyes of Robbie and the team so expect some aggressive competition this season.
