What an incredible journey this 2026 season has been! We’ve encountered our fair share of challenges and missed opportunities, often finding ourselves in some tricky situations. However, today was a complete turnaround! After starting from the back, we faced a small hurdle when Dad forgot to tighten the right rear tire before the heat race, which led to it coming off just one lap from the finish. Despite that, our determination showed through in the feature race. Starting last, we diligently worked our way through the field and finally conquered that ‘monkey on our back’ by clinching the win!

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Contrael Tire Lab for their unwavering support. They have played a vital role in Grayson Trimble's growth as a driver, and it's truly evident this year, even amid the ups and downs. Special thanks go to Ryan Neese and Corey Whetzel; your willingness to step in and assist us when we needed help with our tires made a significant difference and is deeply appreciated.

We also want to express our appreciation to all of our sponsors for their steadfast support: Maxim Crane Works, LP, Sargent Electric Company, Launch 3 Telecom, Acrane, Swager Communications, Smith Hauling, BK Electrical Solutions LLC, Wade Heating and Cooling, MartinBuilt Clutchess, Dover Performance, Joe's Body Shop, Stagger Graphics for those fantastic designs, and of course, the Contrael Tire Lab and the WPKS. Here's to more victories ahead!

Well we qualified 7th out of 17 for the Jr 3 feature at Naugle Speedway last night for the 3rd and last race of the series of the WPKS. Our kart had good speed and we were making some progress when we got a run on the kart in front of us in turn 1 and had 3/4's of a kart length on his inside and he literally just shoved us right into the inside guardrail destroying not only our night but our kart. Maybe he didn't see us IDK 🤷‍♂️ but that's not how you race. I don't know where he finished but I sure hope he didn't finish in the money 💰.

Not a bad day at Cove View Speedway yesterday but it wasn’t great. Started P1 in heat race and finished P2 and started P2 in the feature and finished P3. Didn’t get a great start on the outside in the feature and lost 2nd to Cash Hardesty Racing and ran behind him for about a half the race with Dryden Racers leading. Cash made a move down the front stretch on Dryden and I tried to follow but the door closed before I could get there. I tried to get to the rear of Dryden but just couldn’t get close enough to help to make a move on Cash so we ended up finishing 3rd. We had a fast kart just needed clean air and probably should have shed one more tooth. We would like to thank all the people that help make this racing thing happen.
