The Blue Diva gave us some ups and downs this weekend. Unloaded at the track and decent speed in both practices. Bolted on new tires for qualifying. Got in the car to get in the qualifying line and the shifter had come loose. Shane Jones came to the track to offer some help and glad he did. He was able to repair the shifter and we made qualifying. The new tires were slower than expected and the engine had a stumble, as we turned a 15.9 which put us 5th quick and after the inversion, put us on the outside pole for the race. Started the race and fell back to 5th but was running with the front pack. Had a caution on lap 7 that took out a couple of cars ahead of us. Started 3rd on the restart stayed with front two. A few laps later the leader fell out with a mechanical issue so that moved us up to second which is where we finished. I believe we are headed in the right direction and hopefully make the Blue Diva faster. Can’t thank all the guys at the shop for all the help, Chuck Mandy, Shawn Manke, Jeff & Todd Campbell and Brad Stell! Also a big thanks to Shane Jones for the help and advice at the track! Also thanks to our sponsors, Stell Enterprises, B&B Auto Parts (Happy Retirement Kent and Denita!), Norris TV Sales aka Fayetteville Outdoor Sports! Next race is August 29! Come out and support us and the track! Until then, Go Fast and Turn Left!🏁
