Hey, we have some very super exciting news coming up…who wants to see what we have cooking on the back burner??

06/22/2026

I know I’ve been a slacking on racing updates but I’ll give a update from some recent races

Grand Rapids 6-11
Heat: 3rd -> 5th (DNF), the bumper hit the ground really hard so I pulled into the pits
Feature 10th -> 6th, car was really good but was lacking power.

Bemidji 6-14
Heat 3rd -> 3rd, the track got watered right before we went out and there was almost 0 passing
Feature 4th -> 3rd, found our RF shock needs to be rebuilt cause it wasn’t doing anything, but we were still really fast.

Grand Rapids 6-18
Heat 4th-> 4th. Lost the RR shock and held on to the redraw
Feature 5th-> 8th RR shock came off again and it made the car very Inconsistent

Bemidji 6-21
Heat 6th-> 4th car was good, made it to the redraw and that’s all I wanted to since I drew 97 lol
Feature 1st-> 3rd I lead 12/15 laps and got drove through. A very disappointing end to a good run. Have ALOT of body work to do.

I wouldn’t be able to do any of this without my amazing sponsors, so thank you to all of them!!

Sorry we can’t record live on this page as it’s too new. Quick recap for night 1 at Grand Rapids Speedway. Justin lost the power steering belt in the heat so he pulled off the track. He placed 7th in the feature. Got some kinks worked out and working on set up and getting comfortable in his new setup. Always proud!!
Thanks again to all the sponsors and fans for your support!!

Well, we got the car out at North Central Speedway last night. Drew a 30, which put me on the outside of the front row. Took the green flag, and in the first corner the LF brake stuck, causing me to spin and collect a couple of cars. I drove it to the pits because I had a lot of front-end damage.

But with help from my dad, grandpa, Tim, Austin, and Dalton Carlson, we were able to get the old bumper off and install a new one. We got the new one from Tim Johnson, so thank him for that as well!

Started 10th in the feature and finished 7th. All in all, the car drove fine. We used the night as a test session since it was the first time on track. Unfortunately, the heat race didn’t go our way, but it was a good rebound in the feature.

Thank you to all my amazing sponsors!!
