WEEK 11

Riverside Raceway (9/24/05) - Fan Appreciation Night at Riverside Raceway was the final race of the year for Fritz. He finished 3rd in both the Street Stock heat and the feature.



WEEK 10

Riverside Raceway (9/4/05) - Fritz drew the outside front row of his Street Stock heat race. Unfortunately the car on the pole ran him very high in the first corner sending Fritz to the rear, and then off the track. Fritz wasn't able to work his way to the front of the feature and finished 5th.


Adventure Mountain Speedway (9/3/05) - Fritz had to make up an eight point deficit to win the championship. A heat win by Fritz and a crash by the point leader closed the split. Unfortunately Fritz had a poor feature draw of 7th while the point leader drew the front row. Fritz worked his way up to a 3rd place feature finish, but it wasn't good enough to win the championship. He finished 2nd in Street Stock points for the year.



WEEK 9

Adventure Mountain Speedway (8/19/05) - Fritz won a Street Stock heat race and finished 2nd in the other. Unfortunately he wasn't able to make any progress in the feature and finished 4th.



WEEK 8

Adventure Mountain Speedway (8/5/05) - Fritz finished 3rd in the Street Stock heat races. Unlike most other nights this year Fritz drew a decent number for the feature and picked a front row starting position. He made the most of his good draw by collecting his second feature win of the year.



WEEK 7

Riverside Raceway (7/19/05) - Fritz started on the outside front row of the "Eagle River 30" Street Stock feature and took the early lead. Unfortunately a bad push made it difficult to turn the car in corners 3 and 4. Fritz fell to 2nd early but was able to maintain his position despite many attempts by other drivers to pass.



WEEK 6

Adventure Mountain Speedway (7/15/05) - Fritz finished 2nd and 3rd in the Street Stock heat races and for the second week in a row finished 4th in the feature yet again. He is currently 2nd in Street Stock points.

WEEK 2

Adventure Mountain Speedway (6/3/05) - Fritz ended a dry streak by winning two of three races at the Adventure Mountain Speedway opener. He won the first of two heats after starting 3rd, and finished 2nd in the other heat after lining up in 6th. Fritz started 6th in the Street Stock feature as well. Fritz maneuvered his way into second place and closely trailed the leader for several laps. The leader slipped a bit on the last lap giving Fritz the opening he needed to win the feature.



WEEK 1

Riverside Raceway (5/29/05) - Fritz started 5th out of eight cars in the Street Stock heat race and moved up a spot to finish 4th. In the feature Fritz started outside front row and got the jump on the start and restart to claim the lead. He held the lead until lap 6 when the car partially underneath him drifted up and cut his left rear tire as the caution was out for the second rollover of the night. Fritz pitted and had to restart at the back. He regained a couple positions to finish 4th.
