#97 Legend based out of Buchanan Virginia

09/07/2026

Yesterday was a fun one at Shenandoah Speedway. Spent all weekend working on the car, so I didn’t have any laps with it. Practiced decent, qualified 4th. On some restart coming to green someone decided to go in 3, the result of that was a lack of a fender for me. But we kept on rolling, and around halfway my brakes just stopped working. I had to pump them in the straights to have anything for the corner. Still somehow drug out a top 5 with it.

At the last second Wes asked me to drive his stock4 in the Ucar race. Of course I said yes, ended up taking home the win in that. Huge thank you to Givens Speedshop for all the help on the Legend, we really are making progress just gremlins keep getting in the way of results.

Of course thank you to all my partners for making racing possible!

That was defiantly one of the most entertaining weekends I’ve had in my life. Friday whatever we were trying didnt work at all. Im not even sure where I finished, I was just trying to keep the car together. Kept it in one piece, skip Saturday cuz it got rained out.

Today we got there early and finally hit on something. Qualified 4th for the first race was running in the top 3, had a issue and had to come down pit road. Not even sure where I finished for that

In the second race we were able to stay in the fight for the lead the whole time. The car was pretty much on point, just loose. It turns out my axle seal busted and was dumping gear oil all over my RR tire and brake. We were racing hard for the lead and got together, lost all my momentum and gained toe in. Somehow we were able to roll the car back in the trailer in one piece.

Overall very fun weekend, even though the circumstances were bad, Shenandoah Speedway and the Showdown Series did a great job of keeping everything going.

Huge thank you to Wesley Givens, after a month of trying stuff we finally hit on something at Shenandoah. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have been able to run like I did today. And thank you to Eli VP Racings crew for a extra hand with everything. We have Got some stuff thats most likely bent again, but I cant wait to get back out on track.

Yesterday was a interesting day to say the least 😅. First race back from being ontop of the wall at Pulaski, the car is not handling the way I need it to. But we finished the race in one piece and thats worth something. We arent going to give up, back at for twins tonight. Thank you to all our partners for making racing possible!
