We did it.

HEAT RACE: 2nd —-> 1st

Redrew 1st

FEATURE: 1st —-> 1st

————————————————————
We did it. The moment I have been dreaming of since I was a little kid.
Finally. Happened.

To get my first win here is an incredible full circle moment. I’ve been in Tri-City’s victory lane more times than I can remember with dad. But to finally be there with a car I drove was something I’ve been dreaming about since I could walk.

Im so incredibly fortunate and blessed. The people I have around me whether it be the guys wrenching on the 07 or the people cheering me on from the stands are the exact reason I live and die for this sport.

Truthfully the driving I do for maybe a combined 50 minutes every Friday is a very small part of this victory.

The work in the garage is what gets you to this point which leads me to thank:

Danny exley
Bryan Beggs
Bobby Whitling
Brad Whitling
Marc dulaney

Danny and Bryan came on throughout the winter and the difference they have made so far has been insane.
This win literally couldn’t be possible without you guys.

This victory represents growth and determination, 3 years worth of learning and failure with some highs but certainly plenty of lows.

But we never got discouraged and each week we figured out how to be better or what to take from a race.

I also have to thank:
Jeremy Hoyle
Korryn Schmader
Dallas Manross
Jonathan Love
Ethan Murray
Devin Dulaney
Isabella Whitling
Colby Dulaney

For their help on the car in the pits and overwhelming support throughout this journey so far.

I also got the chance to honor my idol with the iconic KB bow in victory which is a tradition I plan to carry on the rest of my career to honor the legend that inspired me to get in the seat in the first place.

————————————————————

now those in attendance probably noticed that when Mike Ackelson asked me to thank my sponsors I was running around the car making sure I didn’t miss anyone.

There are 2 reason for this.
1. I have so many incredible sponsors
2. I did not even want to think about missing any one of them.

My sponsors make this entire deal possible and I have so many to thank not just from this season but from this journey so far.

First I want to my dad with Slider Racecars for putting me in this ride and providing me with all the resources I would ever need to be successful in this sport.

Next I want to thank Leigh wheeler, Leigh was the first person to come to me and want to help support my racing journey when it was just getting started back in 2024. I will be forever grateful for what Leigh did for me at that time and I will never forget that.

Now I want to thank Andy Buckley with Land Specialty. Andy also came to me wanting to support my journey as has been such a huge part of getting to this point I just cannot even begin to express how much this program has been impacted by Andy.

I also want to thank Devin Zagar and Eli Busch from The Sim Room. I’m so happy to have these guys on board for this season they have already had a massive impact on this team and I’m so happy we got to bring home a win for them early on in our partnership!

Next I want to thank Melissa and Josh Scrivens from The Log Cabin Family Restaurant. They have been sponsors of the 07 and the 7w cars for multiple season now and their support continues to be felt across the race shop. Thank you guys so much!

Jeremy Hoyle from Hoyle’s Chop Shop not only does he give the best cuts in northwestern Pennsylvania he also is a badass in the pits!! Jeremy has been awesome to work with and has been a returning sponsor for both cars over the years and we’re so happy to have Jeremy apart of this.

Another guy I can’t forget to mention is Bryan Beggs with BBAD . Bryan like I mentioned earlier has been in the shop all winter with us helping out on the 07 and has been a crucial part of getting us to this point. Thank you Bryan!

Next I want to thank everyone with Virgile Iron & Steel / R.K. Virgile Scrap Metals they have been returning sponsors on my car for 3 years but also dads for way longer. Needless to say they have been apart of Slider Racecars for a long while now and their support is always appreciated.

I also have to thank our new sponsor Waypoint Chiropractic LLC!! Hunter Ferris has been my Chiropractor for a couple years now and I’m glad to have Waypoint on the car!!

Can’t forget to thank PerkUp also another sponsor that’s been with us for a couple years now. So glad we have their support!

Where do I even start with Jim Huber from JED Engines. Fred has been doing the 07’s motors forever and he continues to give us pieces that don’t quit!! So pleased to have a JED Engine in the car and glad Fred is apart of this team.

Also have to thank My Grandpa Papal from Dulaneys garage for his continued support throughout the years on both cars. Love you Papal and thank you for all you do us!

Next we’ll show some love to Brittanie from Brittanie Lynne Photography. She’s been on the car for a couple years now and their support is always felt whether it be on or off the track.

Also want to thank Ashley from ABL’s Creations make sure you check out her page! Ashley has been a sponsor on the 07 the entire time it’s been raced so we’re obviously very happy to have her on board!

Last but certainly not least I want to thank my good friend Chase Grimm and our podcast Lickin The Dirt Podcast. Glad to have LTD on the car and happy Chase and I have an outlet each week to talk about the local racing scene!

Thank you to all of my friends and family for the continued support I love you all so much and this win is for you!

Now if you’ve read this far not only are you a trooper but you’ll get the chance to know Ive uploaded the feature on YouTube and will upload the heat race sometime today! So I’ll make sure to share that stuff around!
