With nine victories and 31 top-five finishes in 44 races this season, the Springfield, Neb., native is cleaning, fixing and preparing for four big weekends with the ASCS National Tour in a six-week span to cap the 2011 campaign.
Last Saturday, it was anything but positive for the 18-year-old from Lake Havasu City, Ariz. In his return to Arizona, Forler struggled in lapped traffic in the closing laps after driving into the top three at the ASCS Southwest Region race at USA Raceway in Tucson.
However, from where he started the night, a runner-up performance was a victory in a certain sense as he piloted a car for Mark Burch Motorsports.
The 20-year-old was forced to the pits midway through the B Main he was leading when a power steering line broke last Saturday at his hometown track of Battleground Speedway in Highlands, Texas.
