Round 9 of Wisconsin @ Road America

Random Interviewer: "So Mr. Hallec, you do know that you're headed to a road course, perhaps? How do you feel you will do there with your proclaimed "prodigy" of a racetrack being road courses? How will you do in slow machinery?"

Hallec: "Ya better believe that I be excited we be off to a road course soon. Though, I do believe that if anywhere, I can be getting a good ole' result here at a road course.
As long as I can be out of trouble, those nefarious wrecks,
I feel as if me car will not cut it, so pit strategy and gains through wrecks will get me ta' the top."

Interviewer: "How does it feel to finally be at a road course after so many weekends at a speedway and such of that nature?"

Hallec: "I be ever happy to be back on me mainstay..I be likin' the other courses....but I be unable to perform properly with slow machinery than if I be able to at a road course. Speedways and supers are not me choice of track."

Interviewer: "One last question, Mr. Hallec. People wonder how you make it through this racing career, being a rookie in such slow material; and even throughout life?"

Hallec: "Aye, I be trying to put up a smile for everyone,
and not be in everybody's business. I tell meself every day,
"Get up, put up a smile, and do not let 'em break through ya." Mates, go throughout yer life puttin' up a smile when it is hardest tah do, or be skippy and happy even when ya cannot. It does not matter who ya are, but ya can put on a smile even at the worst of times, lads."

Interviewer: "Jack, you are truly an inspiration to us here in this report room. Keep up how you are doing."

Roush: And to think Treck Tauger was racing with me in my rookie season and dumped me at Brazil. I'm not one to hold grudges, so great job Tauger on 3 in a row!

Dover: Glad to get twelfth today in the Action Terra Nissan... I just wish that Race 11 could come fast enough so I can get into my Mustang...

Hallec wrecks out early at Road America
Jack Hallec, who coming into this road course race at Road America, qualified poorly with him in 33rd(?) alongside his Pirtek Team Australia team-mate Fitzwater.

He noted before he hopped back in his car still with a smile on his face, "I be hopin' for something more today, lads! May we stay safe out there!"

The race would begin as usual with Hallec trying to push forward in what would be a very sloppy first lap. However, the fifth wreck on the first lap would involve Hallec; albeit, Hallec checked up to miss it in the final turn and slid off the track and into the tyre barriers - He would continue on.

Later on, the even more poorly and battered #60 car driven by a dejected, but in a bittersweet way, happy Hallec.

Up until later on Lap 3, Moshe Gurion would tag the back of Hallec's heavily battered 60 car and send Hallec and himself into the tyre barrier. It took Hallec longer than expected to get out, though he was quick to come onto the radio com and let his spotter know he was all right. He would go sit up on the tyre barriers as he waited for officials to clear his car.

Hallec would go to the infield care center afterwards to get checked out, but he returned only with a slightly bruised wrist.

"....I be havin' to say that this be how I hadn't hoped this race would unfold. I am a lit'l bit disappointed with Gurion, but with myself as well. I checked up a wee bit too much, the car bobbled and inta' the tyres she wrote.

"How I was able to get away from the salt trap there.. I be unsure, but me car was poorly." He noted and then continued, "I do not blame Gurion in the slightest now that I pick me thoughts a tad. Me car was wrecked and battered and all ways tarnished. It did not steer correctly and I myself was about to come in to have some more repairs, or retire me car. Aha, Gurion had other plans, I be supposin.'" He laughed and then ended with this, "...I be placing no blame on Gurion, but all on meself. Ah...I aint 'ave continued, aye. I do hate to see me waste time, money and space for Pirtek, but I be tryin' to get better acquainted with this here car.

"Ah well, I s'pose it happens, lads...I be hopin' for an upturn in me luck. Ah, I am quite stoked fer the next race, 'ere!"

Later on, after Hallec finished up with the ensemble of reporters, would go to Fitzwater's pit box and cheer him on.

"Good on me team-mate Fitzy to get up in t'ere points. Good on ya, lad! 'Tis a shame I could not be doin' the same, ya chap!"
