🏁 Race Recap – Pine Ridge Speedway 🏁
MPR has been hard at work all off season, and we were finally able to get the car back together and hit the track for our first race of the season Friday night at Pine Ridge Speedway.
We rolled out with a new shock package from Mark Tutor Racing, and the car showed speed right out of the gate. We set fast time, which put us on the pole for the heat race. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the start we needed and finished P2, lining us up P3 for the feature.
If you weren’t at The Ridge, you missed one heck of a 604 feature. From the drop of the green, we battled hard inside the top 4 lap after lap. The top two eventually started to pull away as our car faded a bit, but a late caution after MPR teammate Clent Busby cut a tire while battling for the lead bunched the field back up.
On the restart, we drove it in hard on the bottom and went 3-wide for the lead coming off turn two. We had to check up getting into turn three, which dropped us back to P4, and that’s where we would finish.
All in all, a solid night. We learned a lot and started building a new notebook with this package.
We can’t thank our partners and sponsors enough, you’re the reason we’re able to compete up front every week. If you’re interested in coming on board this season, reach out to us. We’ll work hard to get your name and brand in front of the fans.
