Carter Clapp Racing

04/21/2026

This team was strong

The U.S. Legend Cars International and INEX Spring Nationals is officially in the books, and while the Podium X Motorsports team may not have walked away with every finish we were chasing, one thing is certain — this group showed speed, determination, and the will to fight every single time we hit the track.

Bandolero Bandits Championship with Lucas Harrison

With 2 MPI “Up On The Wheel” Awards, an AFCO Fastest Lap, and multiple Top 5 finishes, this team proved we belong.

It was a long, demanding week… but more importantly, it was a week filled with growth, grit, and a lot of great memories together.

This week wasn’t just about results — it was about
building drivers, building a team, and pushing forward.

We’re proud of every driver that strapped in and gave it everything they had.

On to the next one. 👊🏁

I said at the beginning of the year that I wanted to run 70 races before the year was up. We’re running right where we need to be. Carter just has to find those wins

One think I always told carter. If you can drive it then don’t come off the track until you get a black flag.
Needless to say a bando ran over the top of his hood and next thing we know he was driving with his hood up covering his windshield. He ran a couple laps like this before the caution came out.
I asked him how It drove. He said he couldn’t turn. I said I don’t know why when you have a big parachute. 
Only my son…

Well after feature one. I don’t think it’s supposed to look like this

04/15/2026

Here is feature 1 of 2 on Tuesday.
This is the one that we dodge a huge wreck then the clutch broke off the engine.

It’s never a good sign when you pull an engine out after qualifying.
Today during practice we thought we was having engine issues.
Carter goes out there to qualify and it sounded like a chain broke so he never got up to speed
So we would have to start 11th in both races today. Carter is always able to dodge wrecks and work his way up to the front. So I knew we was good.
Podium X Motorsports looked over the car and everything seemed normal.
During the first feature there was a huge crash and some how he got through it. Will post a video later if I can find a good one.
After the restart he ran a couple laps and we broke another clutch off the engine. Of course Carter is heart broken and we told him we already got it taken care of thanks to Nick Bohannon.
During the second feature I told carter to do what he does best and drive the car to the front and pick off one at a time.
Even though he manage to gain the most spots during the race 7th it’s the fact that on final lap he turned a 15.08. His fastest time all weekend.

We are under a rain delay. They threw everything but the kitchen sink at the car and it worked.
0.183 off first during the last practice.
We can qualify last and I’ll still be happy.
Hopefully after the track drys it won’t mess with him to bad

***update. They canceled qualifying. Carter starts fourth.
