Saturday Report (3.28.09):
The Team Enterprise Automation/Malcolm-Racing kicked off the 2009 season at Auto Club Speedway, in Fontana, CA. After only making two race weekends in the 2008 season, both the car and driver, Derrick Malcolm, had to shake off a little rust early on. In qualifying, Malcolm turned in a fast lap of 1:59.6 placing him 3rd in class, 15th out of 42 cars overall, and 2 tenths faster than last year.

As the green flag dropped on the race, Malcolm fell in line diving into the infield and tried to keep 2nd place within striking distance. After the first few laps, the gap to second place in class stopped increasing and started to creep back down. However, nine laps into the race, Malcolm ran into mechanical problems as he tried to shift into 5th gear on the Auto Club Speedway oval. After a few turns the team realized that the clutch was 'gone' and for the remainder of the race Malcolm could only shift gears by engine rev matching.

Enterprise Automation/Malcolm-Racing Finishes First Even with Failing to Finish in Return from Injury

The Team Enterprise Automation/Malcolm-Racing returned to competition after missing most of the season with driver Derrick Malcolm out after surgery to repair a ruptured disk. Malcolm took the car out for a nice and easy slow paced warm up in the morning practice. Other than a set of greasy Hankook tires, which had sat for over 6 months since the last heat cycle, the car was in great shape. The car continued to feel good in qualifying and Malcolm got back into the groove and turned in a fast lap of 2:05 placing him 1st in class and 16th out of 24 cars overall, finishing ahead of all slower class cars and a few higher upper tier cars.

As the field lined up and pulled out onto the track for the pace lap the Team Enterprise/Malcolm-Racing race car was up to 14th after several cars failed to grid on time. As the green flag dropped, Malcolm got a great jump and was pushing several of the faster class cars ahead for position. Unfortunately the motor let go

Enterprise Automation/Malcolm-Racing Take Home Two Third Place Finishes in Debut at NASA's California Speedway Event

The Team Enterprise Automation/Malcolm-Racing started off their 2008 season with great weather and a great track - California Speedway, in Fontana, CA. After the off season, both the car and driver, Derrick Malcolm, got off to a good start. With the warm up, the team got a feel of the car and broke in a set of new Hankook sticker tires. The car continued to feel good in qualifying and Malcolm turned in a fast lap of 1:59.8 placing him 3rd in class and 13th out of 42 cars overall.

The actual start of the race season got off to a slow start as the field was made to complete a second agonizing pace lap around the 2.8 mile course when the starter was not pleased with the line up of the field. By the second time around, the green flag was finally dropped and Malcolm got caught hitting the rev limiter in second gear and fell back six places heading into NASCAR turn 1. But after getting back up to speed by the
