🏁 TVQMA Battle for the Buckle Recap 🏁
What an unforgettable weekend! This was Holley's very first quarter midget race weekend, and we couldn't be more proud of everything she accomplished.
Friday was practice, and everything went smoothly. It was a great opportunity for Holley to get comfortable with the car, the track, and the excitement of her first race weekend.
Saturday was Holley's very first race ever! She lined up against Spencer, an 8 year old girl, and the two put on an exciting show. A few laps into the first heat, Spencer made a move to try and pass that resulted in both cars getting into the Turn 2 wall. (The girls are still learning) Thankfully, both the girls and cars were okay, and they were able to continue the race. A few laps later, Spencer made a move on the inside for the lead, and the two made contact again, ending up thru the Turn 3 wall with Holley's car even sliding half way underneath the chain-link fence. It was a scary moment that understandably shook us and both girls up, but they both showed incredible toughness finishing the race, and Holley came away with the heat race win!
For the second heat race, both girls were understandably a little nervous and cautious after the earlier incidents, but they put together a clean, respectful race. Holley drove another great heat and picked up her second heat win of the day.
Sunday's feature was another great battle. Holley pulled a zero, meaning there was no invert, so she started on the pole. Spencer's car was a little stronger, and after a clean pass by Spencer a few laps into the race, she took over the lead. Holley drove a smart, consistent race and brought home a 2nd place in the main feature event.
For her very first race weekend, Holley learned so much, showed determination, courage, and had an absolute blast doing it.
We are so proud of her!
Congratulations to Spencer on her main event win! I'm so proud of both the girls.
A huge thank you to our sponsors, family, friends, TVQMA and everyone who has supported Holley. We're so grateful to have such an incredible team behind her!
