2014 Comes to a close for PNR
Paul Nienhiser Racing watched the 2014 season come to an end as the World Finals in Charlotte wrapped up. After an up-and-down season, the team regrouped strong in the last month of the MOWA season with a string of top 5's and top 10 finishes to somewhat justify what a year it had been. Paul moved up 5 spots in the points championship during that string of races to secure a 5th place finish. After last year's 3rd place finish, the team is more than happy with 5th after so many unfortunate mechanical issues along with some heartbreaking crashes. As the MOWA season finished off with a 3rd place finish in Jacksonville, the team began preparing a brand new car to test out at this year's World Finals in Charlotte. It was a bit of a different look than the fans were used to seeing, as it is mostly white. With little half-mile experience, the team looked back to last year's notes to get a baseline setup for the 1/2 mile clay oval. After several minor issues in qualifying, Paul timed in 40th out of 56 cars for Saturday night's finale. With the World of Outlaws lining up the features according to qualifying times, Paul started 4th in the C main and only managed a 3rd place finish, just missing the 2 car transfer. The team is already looking forward to next season and the new opportunities arising with the new series in the Midwest. Stay tuned!!
