The Mark Galloway Shootout was an incredible experience and another big step in my racing journey.
It was awesome to learn a new track, and it meant so much to be back racing in the Pacific Northwest in front of my friends and family. Having so many people supporting my goals and helping me learn made this a weekend I'll never forget.
Unfortunately, the results didn't match the effort.
We started the night with a loose race car, but after a quick adjustment it really came to life. The car was feeling strong, and I was excited to see what we could do. Then, just a few laps later, the right front tire went flat entering Turn 3, and our night ended in the wall coming out of Turn 4.
That's racing.
Now it's time to rebuild, learn from the weekend, and find a way to get to Colorado on August 1st.
I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who made this weekend so special.
Robert Lassiter and Darren Chorney—thank you for stepping in and keeping everyone well fed all weekend.
Cheryl Lassiter and Theresa Chorney—thank you for gathering all of my quarter midget friends to be part of my greeting line during driver introductions. Walking out and seeing so many familiar faces cheering me on made me feel right at home. It was one of the coolest moments of the weekend.
Mom—thank you for making sure Grandma Mary, Grandma Cookie, and Grandpa David were there to see me race. Having all of you there meant more than you know.
Derek, Jake, Jerad, Kelly, and Brandon—thank you for all the hard work you put into the car and for giving me such a fast race car.
Emma Chorney—thank you for always capturing the action and documenting this journey at every race. Those memories are something I'll always treasure.
The weekend didn't end the way we wanted, but we're already looking ahead. We'll get the car repaired, keep working hard, and come back stronger.
See you in Colorado! 🏁
