5/29: Knoxville Raceway Pella Corp. Night-The Wares/Harrison #10 would qualify 2nd in time trials to Matt Moro. The heat race inversion put him in the sixth place starting spot and Josh would utilize a great start to move his way up through the field. He would end up running 2nd to Bryan Dobesh and qualify him for the A feature. With the A main inversion, Josh would start 7th and hold this spot for most of the race. A green, white, checker restart would find most of the drivers in front of him ducking to the bottom to fend off their positions but Josh would ride the high side and pass 3 cars, putting him in 4th at the end of the race. The team gained some much needed points for the night and Josh was happy with the performance overall!
5/22: Knoxville Raceway Justice Brothers/Gillund Enterprises Night-In time trials, Josh only completed 2 laps as the valve cover gasket was leaking-creating a huge cloud of smoke from the #10. This put us at the back of the heat race to start 9th, which is where Josh would finish. Josh wasn't sure if the car wasn't set up right or the steering gear was beginning to go out, so he went out for the B Main. In this race, he would only get up to 8th and did not qualify for the feature. After doing maintenance on the car, they discovered the steering gear had indeed gone bad.
5/15/10: Knoxville Raceway Slideways Karting Center/Pella Printing Night-After group time trials, Jos would be 16th quick. He would start 3rd in his heat race and over-take Gregg Bakker for the win. The A Main inversion put him on the outside pole. At the start of the race, he was neck and neck with Joe Beaver but would overcome and take the lead. He would continue to lead, putting space between him and the second place car until a red flag for Gregg Bakker after two laps. The restart proved good for Josh and as the laps clicked off, he gained a 7 second lead on second. With nine laps in the books, the yellow came out for a Grosz/Cornell accident. Joe Beaver would bring out another yellow on lap 13, after shredding a tire. Josh would come home victorious for the 2nd time this year. The win would mark his 17th career feature win at Knoxville, tying him for 4th in all-time 360 wins with Randy Martin.
5/8/10: Knoxville Raceway NOS Energy Drink Night-After group qualifying, Josh was 14 quick once again. He would start third in the heat race and finish 4th. This put him in the 15th starting spot for the A Main. With a very heavy track and the car set up too tight, Josh would finish the night in 10th.
5/1/10: Season Opener at Knoxville Raceway-After group qualifying in the 360 class, Josh was 14th quick. He noticed that the main pill holder had been leaking during qualifying, and as he pulled off of the track to scale, the headers caught that fuel on fire. The left side of the car had flames up to the top of the roll cage, but Josh escaped the car without injury (just some singed eyelashes). The fire was extinguished and the car wasn't damaged. After getting the car cleaned up of all the fire extinguisher chemical, he started 3rd in his heat race-finishing 2nd. This put him on the pole position for the 360 A Main. On the first green, Josh grabbed the early lead from outside pole sitter, Dennis Moore Jr., but a spin by Tasker Phillips on the first lap would negate that start. On the restart, Dennis pulled out to take a 5 car length lead, but on lap 4 a red would come out for Matt Covington. On this restart, Josh would slide Dennis in turns 1 and 2, Dennis would slide him back in 3 and 4, and Josh slid him again in 1 and 2. There would be no more slide jobs, as Josh blocked Dennis on the bottom, giving him the final lead and the feature win! This would be Josh's 16th Knoxville feature win (5th on the career win list). Thanks to Steve, Vern and the whole #10 crew, along with our sponsors, on a great win!
2/8/10: Higday Teams up with Steve Wares and Vern Harrison!
For the 2010 Knoxille Season, Josh is excited to be teaming up with Steve Wares and Vern Harrison in the #10. They are planning on running the entire Knoxville 360 schedule, along with as many as the Sprint Invaders shows as possible, and starting out the season running a couple of shows with the ASCS. Josh feels that they have a very good chance at winning the Knoxville Championship! They have an Eagle and a Maxim Chassis and details of the engine program is not finalized yet.
1/23/10: Battle At The Barn Veterans Memorial Auditorium Des Moines, IA
