laps, he still qualified a strong fifth at Motor Mile on April 23rd, a track known for having the toughest competition anywhere.  Lemons didn't settle in at the start of the race, but rather raced his way toward the front and before long was challenging for the lead.  Though he never was able to grab the lead and eventually slipped back to third for the finish, he was happy with the car with little time to dial it in.
 
"This a great way to debut this new Townsend-Oliver chassis," said Lemons.  "We didn't get to practice much with it, but it's a strong piece right out of the gate for us.  We'll work on it and get it better and I think we'll have something we can contend for a win with."
 
The change had certainly paid off for the young driver as he went from nearly getting lapped in the first race to working on the same driver for the lead in the second race of the season.  He followed up the April 23rd race with twin races on April 30th, which produced two more top five finishes with a fourth and third place finish in the two races.
 
Lemons and his Lemons Motorsports team are working hard on their new car trying to massage it and get it to victory lane at Motor Mile Speedway, but they won't have any downtime as they enter their third straight weekend of racing on Saturday.
 
"We haven't had a lot of time with the car still," remarked Lemons.  "Motor Mile doesn't usually race three straight weeks back to back, but I think this gives us a great chance to figure this car out and another chance to get back to victory lane.  I think we're almost there."
