From Pole Position to Survival Mode: My Phoenix Race Diary

Taking a different approach for this one! Today we're stepping into the driver's seat for a Race Day Diary recount of my latest league race in the Bonfire Racing League Premier Cup Series. 125 laps around Phoenix Raceway means high-stakes pit strategy, razor-thin margins, and absolute chaos on the restarts. After snagging the pole position, I walk you through every critical moment from my perspective—from sneaky pit entry tactics and managing tire wear, to surviving a 3-wide squeeze, taking front-end damage, and holding on for a crazy finish!
