THE RACE STARTS LONG BEFORE THE GREEN FLAG.

Tuesday.

Two workdays left.

Then final prep, load up, point the truck east and put everything we’ve learned to work.

But before any of that happens, there are checkmarks.

Lots and lots of checkmarks. ✔️

And somehow, every time we put a checkmark on the list… the list gets longer. 😂

Seriously. How does that even happen?

Some things are getting crossed off exactly according to plan.

Some are taking a little longer than we’d like.

And inevitably, something that wasn’t even ON the list finds its way onto it before we’re done.

That’s race prep.

The part nobody sees when the car rolls onto the track is everything that happened to get it there.

Every bolt checked.
Every adjustment made.
Every tire prepared.
Every spare packed.
New lines made and picked up.
A race fuel run.
Tools organized and the shop gone through one more time so nothing important gets left behind.

And then there’s feeding the humans. 😂

Groceries purchased.
Food prepped.
Coolers packed.
Drinks, snacks and everything else a traveling race team somehow consumes over a weekend.

And, of course, every “while we’re here, we might as well…” that turns into another hour — and probably another item on the list.

Because apparently the closer we get to leaving, the more our checklist believes it should contribute new ideas. 😂

There isn’t much glamorous about this part.

But there is something pretty special about watching a group of people work through a list together, each handling their piece, knowing exactly what is waiting on the other side of it.

Right now, we’re not counting laps.

We’re counting checkmarks. ✔️

And there are fewer of them left than there were yesterday.

09/07/2026

Today belongs to the hands that do the work.

Some of them are easy to see.

They’re the hands holding the wrench. Building the part. Loading the truck. Fixing what broke. Making something work that didn’t work yesterday.

But there are so many more we’ll never see.

The hands that built the tools we use.
The people who made the parts we depend on.
The driver who delivered the box to our door.
The people who keep the roads open while we’re pulling a trailer across them.
The ones who unlock the doors, keep the lights on, clean up after everyone leaves, answer the call and show up when something goes wrong.

Racing gives us a pretty good view of how many people it takes to make one seemingly simple thing possible.

These pictures are all from the same race car and the same season. Different days. Different stages. Different hands doing whatever needed to be done next.

But even these pictures only show a tiny fraction of the people whose work made those moments possible.

That’s worth remembering today.

Because behind almost everything we use, enjoy, build, chase or accomplish is someone’s work.

Some of it gets applause.

Most of it doesn’t.

Today, it all deserves to be seen.

Happy Labor Day from DB Motorsports. 🇺🇸🏁

Turn the sound up. This is what answers sound like. 🔊🏁

Yesterday wasn’t about chasing a number.

It was about answers.

After a season that has handed us more questions than we ever expected, we rolled the 39x onto the dyno needing information.

Not guesses.
Not assumptions.
Answers.

What is this motor telling us?

Is everything working together the way it should?

What needs attention?

And most importantly — do we know enough to confidently take the next step?

Now we do.

While you’re listening to the video, watch the screen.

You’re seeing RPM and AFR — air/fuel ratio — change throughout the pull. The sound is fun (and maybe just a little addictive 😂), but those moving numbers are why we’re there.

A dyno gives us the opportunity to put the car under load in a controlled environment, watch what it’s doing and gather information we simply can’t get standing beside it in the shop.

Yesterday, it did exactly what we needed it to do.

We learned.

We have a couple of recommendations and a few things to address.

But overall?

We did good.

And according to Adam, we’ve got ourselves a “hot rod.” 😂🔥

We’ll happily take that.

Because after everything this season has taught us, yesterday wasn’t about walking away with a perfect piece of paper.

It was about walking away without the question marks.

We know what we’re working with.
We know what we’re going to change.
We know what comes next.

And there’s another piece of this we don’t want to overlook.

A dyno wasn’t a tool in our toolbox before this season.

It is now.

We’ve learned how valuable it can be — not just for numbers on a screen, but for understanding what we have, what it’s telling us and what we need to do next.

And none of yesterday happens without Adam.

When we were out of options, he gave us one.

That’s not an exaggeration.

Without this motor, our season was over. We wouldn’t be talking about the next race weekend. There wasn’t another option sitting in the shop waiting to go in.

He gave us an avenue forward when we didn’t have one.

Yesterday, that avenue led to the dyno.

Next weekend, it leads back to the racetrack.

For that, Adam, thank you. ❤️

So now the questions have answers.

Information became knowledge.
Knowledge became a plan.
And now the plan becomes work.

Then?

We get to see what this hot rod can do. 😉

09/05/2026

One team. Three directions. And Saturday isn’t even warmed up yet. 😂

Yesterday we said, here we go.

Apparently we meant it.

This morning Dakota and Cherokee are pointed east, beginning a multi-state round trip that needs to have them back home by Monday evening.

Mark is headed to mandatory work.

And the rest of us — Tanner, Sydney, and Bruce — have the 39x loaded on an open trailer and we’re headed to the dyno.

Not exactly the original plan.

But if there’s one thing racing has taught this little team, it’s that the plan and the way you actually get there aren’t always the same thing.

Sometimes everybody gets to be there.

Sometimes you divide and conquer.

And sometimes you look around on a Saturday morning and realize your little team is moving in three completely different directions — but somehow we’re all still working toward the same thing.

So yep…

Here we go.

Safe travels to our eastbound crew.

Time to go see what the dyno has to say about the 39x. 🏁

09/04/2026

Well… here we go. 😂

For months, we’ve been counting down.

Today, we can finally stop.

Because the next chapter isn’t coming anymore.

It starts today.

Dakota’s Arizona/Indiana chapter is wrapping up and the move home officially begins.

Which sounds wonderfully simple when you put it in one sentence.

It is not. 😂

It had multiple layers and so many miles and hours to count.

There are boxes.
There are miles.
There are vehicles.
There are schedules.
There is a race car waiting back home.

And somewhere in all of that, we’re about to attempt to move one life from Arizona and Indiana back to Colorado while racing apparently looked at the calendar and said, “Oh good, you’re busy. Let’s add some more.” 😂

The next couple of weeks are going to be a little wild.

But this is one kind of chaos we’ve been waiting a long time for.

Arizona/Indiana → Colorado.

Safe travels, kid. We’ll see you on the other side. ❤️🏁

Teaching Thursday: A tire isn’t just a tire. 👀

Yesterday, Bruce was using a stack of them as a chair.

Today, we figured we should explain why those are some pretty expensive chairs. 😂

When you look at a dirt late model from the grandstands, you see four round black tires.

What we see is a whole lot more.

There are different sizes and compounds, and then there’s the preparation that happens before some of them ever touch the dirt.

Depending on the tire, the rules and what we’re trying to accomplish, that can include grooving and siping the tread.

Grooving is exactly what it sounds like — cutting grooves into the tread in a specific pattern.

Siping adds much smaller cuts to the tread blocks.

Why?

Because those little patches of rubber touching the racetrack have a pretty important job.

The tire choice and preparation have to work with the track conditions, where that tire is going on the car and what we’re asking the car to do.

And then there’s the ingredient nobody puts on the tire label:

Time. Lots of it. 😂

Tires have to be selected, prepared, mounted, measured, checked and eventually put in the right place on the car.

So when you see four tires underneath the 39x, there’s quite a bit of work you aren’t seeing.

Yesterday they were chairs.

Today they’re our Teaching Thursday lesson.

Eventually, they have to help put all that horsepower into the dirt. 😉

09/02/2026

Ever wonder what it costs to feed a race car?

Plot twist: you have to feed the crew too. 😂

We’ve had people ask again how they can help DB Motorsports, so we thought it might be time to pull the curtain back a little farther and show you what it actually takes to get one race car through a race weekend.

From the grandstands, it looks pretty simple:

Load race car.
Drive to racetrack.
Go fast.
Come home.

Cute. 😂

Behind that version are tires, race fuel, fuel for the tow vehicle, entry fees, pit passes, travel, food, maintenance, parts and approximately 847 little things that apparently multiply when nobody is looking.

And that’s on a good weekend.

Break something and the calculator just starts laughing at you.

None of this is a complaint. We choose to race. We love this sport, and we’re incredibly fortunate to get to do it.

But when someone asks us, “How can we help?” sometimes it’s hard to explain that helping doesn’t have to mean writing a giant sponsorship check.

Sometimes it’s a tire.

Sometimes it’s fuel.

Sometimes it’s a meal on the road.

Sometimes it’s a part sitting on a shelf.

Sometimes it’s $20 toward something the car is going to consume anyway.

And sometimes it’s completely free — share a post, tell someone about the team, come find us at the track, or introduce our little corner of racing to somebody who’s never experienced it before.

It all matters.

So we’re going to start showing you a little more of what actually goes into getting the 39x from the shop floor to the green flag.

One expense at a time.

Starting with the two pictured here: tires and keeping Bruce supplied with Doritos. 😂 #

09/01/2026

There’s a strange place between “look how far we’ve come” and “look how much is still left to do.”

We seem to spend a lot of time there. 😂

There will always be another thing on the list.
Another job to finish.
Another problem to solve.
Another mile to travel.
Another goal sitting just out of reach.

And maybe that’s why it’s so easy to keep looking ahead and forget to look around.

So today, we’re looking around.

Not because everything is finished. One look at the shop will tell you that’s definitely not true. 😂

But because there is an awful lot to be grateful for in the middle of the unfinished.

The people who keep showing up.
The lessons we didn’t necessarily ask for, but needed.
The opportunities we couldn’t see coming.
The miles already traveled.
And even a few things we once hoped for that have quietly become part of everyday life.

There’s still work to do.

There probably always will be.

But gratitude doesn’t require a finish line.

Sometimes it’s standing right beside you while you’re still working toward it.

The work can wait long enough to notice.

08/31/2026

There are race weekends.
And then there are race weekends you circle on the calendar. 🏁

This next one has been circled for a while.

Not because we know what will happen.

We don’t.

But because after the season this team has had, simply getting to this point means a little more than it might look like from the outside.

There are still lists on the whiteboard.

Still things to check.

Still things to pack.

Still plenty of work between here and loading the trailer.

And waiting a little farther down the road is something pretty big — $10,000 to win at Salina Speedway.

The biggest payday in the track’s history.

That’s a pretty big stage for this little family-built team.

So we’re not looking past Monday.

We’re just going to keep checking off the list…

and getting a little more excited every time we do. 🏁

The countdown continues.

📸: slick productions

08/30/2026

The countdown doesn’t start when we load the trailer.

It starts right here.

With tires to check.
Bolts to tighten.
Things to inspect.
Things to change.

Yesterday was one of those days where there wasn’t one big job happening in the shop.

There were twenty little ones.

One person working on tires. Someone underneath the car. Someone grabbing a tool.
Someone holding something out of the way.
Someone asking a question. Someone else trying to remember where they put the thing they had in their hand thirty seconds ago.

It isn’t glamorous.

But this is where a race weekend really begins.

Not when the green flag drops.
When a group of people decides to show up and start checking things off the list.

And now?

The crazy countdown begins. 🏁

We have a race car to get ready.
