Last year, she finished 14th in her first trip there and was pretty happy with that.  &#8220;I felt that we had a decent run there last season,&#8221; Packard said.  &#8220;This race I am hoping for a good solid run, and I would love to get a top-5\/top 10 finish this weekend.  We have been fighting a super tight race car all season, and before we went out for the feature race at Oxford, we made a change to the car hoping it would help.  The car ran phenomenal for the race, so we are planning on making this part of our base set-up this weekend, and I think it&#8217;s going to really help us at Beech Ridge.&#8221;  With eight races complete Packard currently sits 6th in the points, but only 15 points separates her from 3rd place with 5 races left in the season.<\/p>\n<p>Gates open at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway at 3 pm, with racing scheduled to start at 7pm.
