🏁 Shoutout to our friends at Tourond Racing! 🏁

They shared some awesome footage of Colton racing alongside Grady during the Grand National Mini Apple Cup, and it was so cool getting to see the race from our peers’ perspective! 👀🏎️

Colton is one fast driver with a seriously talented future ahead of him. He’s always been one of our favorite drivers to race alongside, and we love watching these boys push each other out on the track. ❤️🏁

Thank you, Tourond Racing, for sharing the footage! It’s so much fun getting to see these races from a different perspective and capture moments we might otherwise miss.

We appreciate you! 🏁❤️

Well, this was the big weekend we had all been waiting for and Grady did not disappoint! Grady made the move to the senior class on his birthday and didn’t waste any time in chasing his goals. In his first weekend he took 1st place both days in Senior Honda and finished the weekend off with a 3rd place podium finish in Light 160!

He fought hard all weekend, competed with a strong Senior class and made his passes confidently. We are so proud of what he accomplished and so grateful for the support that so many families at the track showed as they cheered him on louder than we’ve ever heard when he took that checkered flag!! Thank you to everyone who believes in Grady, the family and friends who have helped him get to this point and of course our sponsors who have been there every step of the way!

Also a very special shout out to Motors By Mike! Everyone said a UT2 couldn’t do it in Senior Honda but you’ve given us the little motor that could along with lighting fast animal and 160 motors. Thank you for such an amazing season!

I come from a long line of highly successful tracking canines. 🐾
My littermates went off to hunting families, tracking game through the wilderness…

And me?

Well, I’m tracking down pupacinos. ☕🐶😂

Different kind of working dog. Same dedication. 😂

Don’t forget to swing by Outpost Coffee to get your coffee and pupacino today! 💕

🏁 Grady is moving up from Junior to Senior next race day!
He’ll now race alongside drivers ages 9–16, bringing more experience, faster speed, and aggressive competition. The passion is the same, but the challenge is bigger—let’s go, Grady! 🏎️💨❤️

After nearly 27 hours of practice this weekend, we’re feeling ready and excited for his Senior debut next race day!
