There was 18 cars this week at Anderson in the legends the class is growing with a lot of young talent and just new drivers to the sport which is great to see when all across Motorsports classes are going down in car count. The competition is getting better every week when looking at lap times for main event the fastest lap of the race for the top 13 cars was separated by 3 tenths of a second. Fastest lap being a 16.972 to 17.298 from 5th to 13th only being separated by .052 really close for local racing.

It was a busy week with practice on Thursday, Friday, and the race on Saturday. With two cars practicing on Thursday 4 cars practicing on Friday and 6 cars racing out of shop on Saturday. A lot of people see Mitchell on the track doing well this year but no one really sees how hard he works in the pits at giving advice to drivers and going over data to try and make them better. He helps the guys that race out of our shop which most people can understand but also gives advice to anyone that stops by the trailer. Legends racers back in the 90’s and early 2000’s it was like this. Battled hard on the track and helped each other when they were in the pits. When I got back into legends 7 years ago it was different no one shared Knowles helped other teams. I am glad to see it’s going back to like it was at least a little. When a car has a problem on the track in the race there are several people helping get those cars back out from multiple teams.

Race recap for this week at Anderson Motor Speedway. It’s been a year of change at Anderson with heat races this year so it jumbles up the cars with different speeds. For the most part heat races have been really clean this year and but it has been a challenge try to manage bad draws but hopefully the fans like it. This week Damon ended up starting p15 and finished p13. Zach started p9 and got up to p6 before getting into the walk late and ending up p14. Dawson started p14 and got his first top 5 of his young legend car season. Cory had a fast car starting p5 and getting to p4 before getting wrecked on lap 5. Mitchell started p8 and worked his way to the lead after dodging a few wrecks and went on to win. Big shout out to Eric Mentnech on starting p18 and finishing p8 to pick up his first Masters division win. We want to thank all sponsors that’s in evolved with getting us to and from the track with the cost of everything and I mean everything going up racing is tough not only for the racers but the fans as well. We appreciate the help and all the fans that support racing.

Race recap from Friday night. Started off rough with electrical issues on Zach’s car which we never really got fixed. Wasn’t because of effort we literally changed everything then a battery issue on the start of the heat for Dawson. All that said Zach couldn’t finish with the electrical issues and Dawson after having to start 14th in the main had a good race and finished p8 in a good field of race cars. Damon started p12 and finished p15. Cory started p10 and finished p11. Mitchell started p2 and after a really competitive race with Carson Youngblood for most of the race Mitchell ended up with the win after pretty much a month off with the birth of his son Walker. Mitchell’s wife Caitlin and Walker came down after the race for a victory lane photo. We had a ton of cars come through the pits with flat tires bent bumpers that we got back into the race some with cars we work on and some with other teams where we helped get them back in the race. Not sure how many divisions actually help there competition get back in the show but we do what we can. For the fans out there take notice of some of these kids out in the legends class that are getting good. All 16 or younger Dawson McClellan, Carson Youngblood, Kasen Barrett, Bryce Butterworth, Noah Barrett, Hudson Barrett, Edison Carter and Grayson Pendley. It’s starting to remind me a little of the late 90’s when there was some up and coming kids coming through. Like Jonathan Davenport, David Reagan, Reed Sorensen, and Chris Buscher that came through these ranks and fan here at Anderson some.

Race recap for March 27th at Anderson Motor Speedway. After 27 cars signed in the track this year has went to heat races with a computer draw it jumbles up the starting order.

Bryce Butterworth started p22 and finished p15 Damon Burdette started p24 and finished p20 Dawson McClellan started p16 and finished p11 Zach Cameron started p12 and finished p10 Cory Parham started p9 and finished p7 and Mitchell Thompson started p3 and finished p2.
