(Hollywood Hills Speedway) After waiting an extra day to break in the new Hollywood Hills Speedway in New Mexico, Donny Schatz and the ParkerStores team found themselves in a tough spot because of their qualifying efforts.

In Sunday's double program, Schatz finished the preliminary feature in ninth and 16th in the main program. He qualified 15th and 16th, which made the programs tough to say the least.

"We're just really having a hard time qualifying well," said Schatz. "The way they are running the program now, you've got to be in the top six or so to have a chance to win. We haven't been up there yet and running from the back has been pretty tough."

"We've got a busy weekend coming up and I hope we can figure something out so that we can start closer to the front."

The team will race on Friday and Saturday nights at the legendary Devil's Bowl Speedway before a Sunday afternoon program at the State Fair Speedway in Oklahoma City, OK.
