Our points season ended at Kingsport. Leaving us 2nd in the standings. This year has been an amazing leap over our past performance. For our first time points racing, we must say it has been a hard fought and tiring battle. In the past running part time had allowed us to take time on developments and making improvements on the car that we wanted, however the near week to week rush tends to limit what you want to do to the car. The time and money aspects get stretched and harder to manage. We are unsure of future plans for the 2027 season, but are mainly focused on the offseason. When the time comes we now have a better idea to decide what best fits our program going forward.

Our stats for the year include 2 wins, 11 podium finishes (1-3), 15 top fives, and 16 top tens. All in 16 races.

We currently sit at 37th in NASCAR Division 3 national points. With a another week left, we may lose a few spots, but are hopeful to stay top 50. In the meantime, we're keeping an eye on the reaming races across the nation.

None of this could have been achieved without the help of each of our amazing associates and sponsors;

• Fields Right llc
• Price's Siding and Guttering
• Randall's Speed Shop
• Roger Clendenin Racing
• Center Auto Machine Shop
• DAVIS WOOD CO.
• Bruce Blessing
• Mark Lowe
• Ralph Lark

Thank you to everyone that has supported us this season, here's to a better 2027.

Friday recap 7/31

We started off the day with immense speed at the top of the board in first practice despite some issues out of our control.

Qualifying is where things took a turn for the worst. Upon throttling up the driver noticed an immense loss of power and brought it in.

Upon inspection it was found that we had a failure in our rocker arms. We went to work rushing to make the proper engine repairs and the track was kind enough to swap the order to help up. Unfortunately the repairs were not enough and caused another issue to arise we couldn't fix at the track, making it impossible for our engine to run the race.

Thinking our night was over we began to load up when our AMAZING friend Jay Swecker offered up his car for Ryan to go out and run for points. His selflessness as a competitor had us moved, stating that 'we had more to lose'. His crew went to work to help get the driver fitted for the car and we started in the back. We were able to pilot the 77 car home to a nice 5th place.

As we have mentioned before, it is our goal for our program to be independent as possible. However there are simply certain scenarios when no amount of preparation can save you from something that an amazing friend can. We are beyond blessed and very thankful for the opportunity and trust to help nurse or season along for another race.

Thank you again to Jay Swecker, Tyler Swecker, and Josh Collins for your friendship. It is truely invaluable.

Raceday! We've had consistent speed in practice and qualifying. We're starting 2nd, sh***un to the field!

Well, thats one way to make the news!

After last week, we had a one week turn-around to get the car back together. Thanks to the great selection of parts Roger Clendenin has on hand at RCR in Church Hill, we were able to make quick work of it and bring the 71 back to life!

We started the day off chasing a hard push on center off like much of the rest of the field. With the problem persisting through practice we made an adjustment that didnt help. We ended up qualifying 6th and were not deterred. We threw the kitchen sink at it making a handful more adjustments and after the rain delay when we finally went green after midnight, the car began to hook up GREAT. We began cutting though the field and outlasting others and ended the night in 2nd place while chasing down the leader. It's been a hard week for sure, but the result was gratifying. Jason Herron was back on the spotters stand as usual and helped guide the car through traffic with ease. If you've ever had the pleasure of having him in your ear for a race you know how valuable he is and we are so lucky to have him with us.

We couldn't have accomplished the feats we have so far this season without our sponsors;

• Fields Right llc
• Price's Siding and Guttering
• Roger Clendenin Racing
• Randall's Speed Shop
• DAVIS WOOD CO. | Brandon Davis
• Bruce Blessing
• Ralph Lark
• Mark Lowe

Thank you to everyone who has reached out and shown support over the last week. It means a lot to us to have others offering up any resources they may have to help us turn things around. We aim to be as independent of a program as we can, but there are times that isn't possible. You all know who you are and are appreciated more than you know. Thank you.
