Labor Day Weekend Recap šŗšøš
Saturday took us to Lawrenceburg Speedway , home of the 2026 INEX Dirt Nationals. With 32 cars signed in and some of the best talent and equipment in the country on hand, it was shaping up to be a great night.
Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans. We got one lap into Chris and Parkerās heat race before lightning in the sky brought the event to a rainout. Not the track time we came for, but we still managed to gather some valuable information for the notebook.
Sunday morning brought a parking lot gear change, and then we headed to our first visit at 35 Raceway Park with the Ohio Valley Legend Car Series. 18 cars signed in.
Chris qualified 11th and Parker qualified 16th. Both cars showed progress throughout the night as we continued making changes to improve speed and handling.
Chris: Started Heat 2 in 4th, finished 3rd.
Parker: Started Heat 1 in 6th, finished 4th.
The improvements were showing on track, and we were looking forward to putting that speed to work in the features.
Parker started the feature 10th. On lap 2, he got loose coming out of Turn 2 while trying to make a pass on the outside. The car spun into traffic, and with several cars having nowhere to go, he took contact to the door and left rear bumper. Thankfully, nobody was hurt, and Parkerās car took the majority of the damage.
After going to the tail, Parker settled in and drove back up to finish 11th.
Chris rolled off 8th in the feature. About halfway through the race, he got into his own incident while looking to the inside of a car ahead. He locked up trying to get the car stopped, and after the dust settled, the car was pulled in for leaking coolant. Chris finished 18th.
Not the race weekend we had hoped for, but we had a lot of fun and learned even more. Most importantly, everyone walked away healthy, and weāre thankful the damage was limited to our own cars.
Weāre off next weekend, with our eyes forward to Championship Night at Florence Speedway and Dirt Nationals in October. Thereās plenty of work to do to get these cars back together and finish the year strong.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support Carter Boys Racing. We appreciate every bit of it.
See yāall soon. To God be the Glory
