Snyder will be traveling to South Africa to race for a month at the end of October. We are very excited about this opportunity and will be sure to keep you updated.

Vertech Motorsports stayed close to home for their only race at the ¼ mile, Spartan Speedway. Car looked good and quick in hot laps, but when qualifying came the car didn’t come out on top, qualifying with a 13.37 lap time. Derek started on the pole of his heat race ready to take a heat win and. Derek charged to the lead and led until the race was shortened with a right rear going flat after three laps. Disappointed and starting 17th in feature, Derek was determined to fight his way to the front. The start was good and he was making progress. Going into lap 8 a lapped car, pushed up into Snyder, causing him to spin out and restart all the way in the back. When the green flag dropped, he sped past the back two cars immediately putting Snyder back to where he was before the spin out. The 22 car was moving good but with a fuel pick up problem hanging around, Derek had to work harder at moving forward. He held his position well and with the last lap of the race, the 20k car and 46 car spun out and Derek ended up with a top 10 finish! The team is still waiting to get the motor back to get our car up and running again. Vertech Motorsports looks forward to Dixie Speedway on August 2nd where Snyder should be back in the Blue #22.
