Inside Line Promotions – LAWTON, Okla. (Aug. 31, 2014) – Things didn’t go as planned for Cody Wampler on Saturday.

Wampler had high expectations entering the championship night at Lawton Speedway.

“I thought we were getting things lined out,” he said. “On the two-barrel sprint car we had borrowed a carburetor earlier this season. It didn’t work very well so we borrowed another one. A couple of weeks ago we got our new one back and tried it, but it didn’t work. We had sent this carburetor back and they found some things to fix. We got it back this week and thought it was going to be ready to go.”

Unfortunately, it still gave Wampler and his race team a few issues throughout the night.

“It kind of had a flutter to it in hot laps,” he said. “It wasn’t quite crisp. The track was still greasy and it wasn’t putting any kind of load on the car. I went out for the heat race and it wasn’t running clean off the bottom. The track had slicked off and we were a little loose, too.”

Wampler dropped from the pole position to a fourth-place result in his heat race.

“We made some adjustments on it for the feature,” he said. “We were on the side of being tight. When the carburetor was loading up I couldn’t drive myself out of being tight. We fell back a few spots. We were just in the way. When I’d go to get back on the gas it wouldn’t take off.”

After having to restart last following a caution, Wampler rebounded to post an 11th-place result.

“I think the jetting is a little off,” he said. “We’re going to change a couple of things on it and go from there. Everything else with the car is good. It just didn’t run clean.”
