May 23, 2008 | After a weekend without racing, problems with the #20 pure street seem to have subsided. With two DNFs in a row, Jacob made another trip to Malden in hopes of having a good last run in the class. He will start the late model class next month with a minor change in the paint scheme. Tonight, Jacob drew a thirty-five making him the outside pole sitter in the third heat. He went to the front before the first lap concluded. He led every lap and went on to win his first heat race of the season. Winning the race put him on the outside pole yet again, this time for the feature event.

He was holding his ground at the start of the race, but his car started missing, so Jacob decided to pull off and take his second DNF. Saturday's race was canceled due to rain.
