February 14th, 2012 - Looking to erase the bad luck from Monday night, Chad and the team entered the second round of the 36th Annual Winter Nationals at East Bay Raceway Park (Gibsonton, Florida) on T uesday night.

In his b-main he would start third, and with the top four cars moving onto the feature, he was excited about his chances, but bad luck would strike in the first corner, when he spun from contention to bring out the caution. He would rejoin the tail of the field for a few laps before ultimately retiring from the event, bringing his night to an early end. Full results are available at www.LucasDirt.com.
February 13th, 2012 - Chad opened his 2012 campaign on Monday night at East Bay Raceway Park (Tampa, Florida) with the opening round of the 36th Annual Winter Nationals.

After having a good car in practice in Sunday night and in hot laps on Monday night, Chad went out for time trials. Entering turn three on his single, qualifying lap Stapleton jumped the cushion and got into the wall. He was able to drive away from the wall with minimal damage, but the resulting, poor time forced him to start at the back of a heat race. With heavy, fast conditions present on the track, passing was difficult, and despite his best efforts he was unable to race his way into the feature event via heat race or b-main action. The team will try again on Tuesday night. Full results are available at www.LucasDirt.com.
