Hard luck for Bannister in PASS Outlaws.
Bannister has done everything you can do in the Pass series except win. Having taken a 3 month hiatus from racing, Bannister came back to the DYNO racing league to race in the PASS outlaws three weeks ago. In a tight field Bannister took the pole and was leading under caution with 5 laps to go when mechanical issues sidelined the #15 Coast Guard Ford Fusion. The following week Bannister started second and was leading with less than 10 laps to go when he was spun out, costing him an apparent win. Last night Bannister started on the pole at Waterford Speedbowl, his second in three starts. After leading the first 24 laps, Bannister pitted and relinquised the lead to eventual race winner Shayne Carr. Later in the Race, Bannister retook the lead and was leading with less than 20 to go when he was spun costing him another potential win. "We have been really close to winning one of these races. It is frustrating to be so close only to have something totally out of my control costing me three possible wins." Bannister stated. Looking on the bright side, the #15 has been very fast having three front row starting spots in three races and leading a total of 102 laps. There will be two more chances for Bannister to get that elusive first win in the PASS series. Next week the DYNO PASS Outlaws will be at the Citrus County Speedway. "We are very close to winning one of these races. The good part, I guess would be that we have led a lot of laps and have been in contention in every race. I think by at least putting ourselves in a spot to win, that it will eventually happen"said Bannister.
