the lead and started to push as hard as I could to move ahead of the rest of the guys. Unfortunately a heavy landing on one of the small jumps broke the rear suspension – and, for a moment, it felt like my back as well – but we were just about able to carry on.





With the rear of the car on the floor, it was impossible for me to keep the rest of the pack behind – but I managed it until the final corner. I finished third, but that was the hardest I think I ever worked for the bottom step of the podium. Honestly, my back was finished after that race.





So now I want to come back to the beautiful Mettet track in Wallonia andhe was at USC. Welcome Coach Gilmore! pic.twitter.com/lBy0p5Zo0w — Michigan State Football (@MSU_Football) February 21, 2020

Michigan State made additional staff announcements on Friday with Geoff Martzen named director of player personnel, Cody Cox named director of football operations and former standout Spartan linebacker Darien Harris named director of player engagement.

Tucker, who was a defensive back at Wisconsin from 1990-94, was hired last week as Michigan State’s new head coach after spending last season at Colorado and replaced Mark Dantonio. His six-year contract includes a $6 million pool to spend on hiring his 10 on-field assistants.

The addition of Gilmore gives the Spartans seven assistant coaches officially in place. The program announced on Saturday that Mike Tressel and Ron Burton will remain with the team as carryovers from Dantonio’s staff.
