Sherman Charges From Back To Finish Fifth At Kentucky

SPARTA, Kentucky. (August 9, 2008) – After being sent to the back of the field when he was spun by Jonathan Klein, Sherman fought his way back up to fifth, making it the third time this season that both Panther drivers have finished the same race in the Top Five.
 

“It’s no fun starting at the back. I feel like if I didn’t use my stuff up coming through the field I probably would have had a shot at the podium and probably would have battled my teammate for the win. The car was awesome, I just ran out of time. Those cautions killed me,” said Brent. “We had a really, really good setup on the car. It was really fast. I just like making it hard on myself. At the start, I don’t know what happened. It didn’t start, so we had to come back up through the field and they’re like, ‘Everyone knows you’re coming through,’ and the 22 car just swerved right in front of me. It was either hit him in the side or spin out, so I spun out and they made me go to the back. I don’t really agree with that. It’s also drivers not listening to their spotters and letting them know that we’re coming up through the field. It’s just a tough deal. But a top-five (finish) isn’t bad. I guess I’m happy.”

Sherman moved up two spots into tenth, just one point out of eighth position.
