We haven't been to too many dirt tracks where the surface stays exactly the same from hot laps until the white flag of the feature. That's part of the beauty of dirt track racing. Last weekend proved to be challenging for the 15TRX team. It started at River Cities Speedway with a DNF in the A Main. The team has been struggling with tire issues the last few weekends and another flat cost us positions. As it sits right now Chris is 3rd in track points with the #57 driven by Nathan Raasaka on our tales with just 13 points separating us. We are fierce competitors on the racing surface but we pride ourselves and our team in taking something good and learning every time we race.
Next was Official Greenbush Race Park. Driver #169 made contact causing a bent ball joint. The crew scrambled to get this fixed the best they could before making the way back to the race track for the A Main, knowing the car wasn't where he would like it to be. Chris seems to thrive under pressure to persevere and ended the night with a strong 5th place.
On short notice it was decided to head to Bemidji Speedway on Sunday. Making adjustments that needed to be done from the night before, Sunday was another swing and a miss race night. This time of year proves challenges for most teams as they try to close out the season strong. Track championships, national championships, and winning titles of invitationals is what every driver wants but Chris continues to stay positive until the end of season. In his heat two cautions were charged on the 15TRX. The first as the spun him into the corner sending him tail end charged with the caution. The second yellow flag was thrown when another driver cut him off in the corner. Trying to avoid the other driver Chris got sideways. According to our sanction rules, two cautions, you get sent to the pits ending our night with a DNF.
Even though it was challenging and regardless of the results, Chris had a blast.
Tonight the 15 TRX team will be racing Official Greenbush Race Park. Stop down after the races to pick up a driver card, a picture with Chris, or just to talk racing.
