Langenstein Fast at Wall Stadium Speedway, Gets collected in big wreck.

Austin Langenstein and the #7 Cray Motorsports team traveled up to Wall Township N.J for the 40th annual Turkey Derby event at Wall Stadium Speedway on 11/29/13 for the final event of 2013. Austin would unload out of the trailer fast and post the fastest time in the first round of practice and back it up it up with the second fastest time in the final round of practice out of the stout 41 car field. Austin would not get the qualifying lap he wanted due to struggling to get temps in the tires during the 2 lap qualifying session in the cold N.J temps but would rebound and finish 2nd in the heat race after starting in the 3rd position and locking into the 28 car main event field! During the main event Austin would be running around the top 10 and moving forward while also saving his equipment and being patient until a big wreck in front of him and Austin would get collected. Austin would come into the pits for the #7 crew to survey the front and rear damage, the crew would notice a small hole in the oil cooler and fix it the best they could during the yellow flag, Austin would go back out on the track as the field went back racing but Austin would ultimately have to retire the #7 car for the night due to loosing oil pressure and a oil leak two laps later. Due to Austin's race finishing around the half way point Austin would end up finishing in the 22nd position. After the race Austin said- "Man that's a tough way to end the season, but you will have these days, there was just no where for me to go. I saw the wreck and checked up but got hit from behind, I didn't think the damage was that bad but it got the oil coolers and we lost oil pressure. I can't wait until January to go racing again!" Austin's next race will be at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in early January, until then Austin will continue training for the CrossFit Games Open and work in the Cray Motorsports shop.
