Well last night didn’t turn out too well at 34. Went out for hot laps and the motor blew up in the stock car. So no racing last night. Lee County was on the books for tonight but that’s not going to happen.

So tonight he’s going to try to run the Figure 8 in Abingdon! Let’s hope for a better night!

So I am wayyy behind here! I apologize! Zach decided at the end of last year to sell his go-kart and move into a stock car! It has been a learning curve for sure but he is doing great!

He’s raced 3 times and seems to be getting the hang of it a little more each time. Each week he has finished the feature on the lead lap, hasn’t been last, rolls the car into the trailer in one piece, and has a smile on his face!

He will be racing between 34 Raceway in Burlington and Lee County in Donnelson! Next up is 34 on July 2nd! It’s Laveine Sanitation night so grandstands are free admission! Come check him out!

Last night was Zach’s first race of the year! It wasn’t a go-kart race as he decided to sell that last year and move in a different direction , more to come on that when details are finalized! 😂

Last night was Stronghursts figure 8! Zach was in the lead for his heat when he was hit and his bumper came off, which reset his inertia switch for fuel so the car wouldn’t restart. Reset the switch in the pits and it fired back up. That put him in the constellation race which he won . So he started last in the feature and made it up to 3rd! Pretty great night!

It’s going to be a fun relaxing summer and this Mama is happy to see the season start! One of us will do our best to always keep the page up dated where ever he is racing! Thank you to those that are always supporting him!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

Well Nationals were definitely not what we expected or hoped for!

Friday and Saturday were at ViolaBoyz Backroad Speedway for the Backroad Rumble.

Friday :
Qualified 7th out of 45

Heat race : I started feeling crappy and the kart was super tight so unfortunately I started 3rd and ended 6th. Not good!

That put me into the B main and the top four would transfer to the A. I started 9th and moved up to 7th but it just wasn’t enough to move on. I had a pretty good run for the weekend!

Monday and Tuesday we traveled to English Creek Speedway in Knoxville, IA.

During qualifying the side of my wing blew apart and I only got 1 1/2 laps completed which put me 49th out of 52 karts! TERRIBLE!

In the heat, I started 9th and made it to 6th. Unfortunately, ECS determines their A features mainly on qualifying times and points and not as much on passing points so I went to the b main.

In the 2nd b- main I started 16th and they were only taking the top 3. I knew it would be alot but I was going to give it all that I had! About lap 3 or 4 two karts spun and got together at the top of the track. I tried to go low and go between two karts when my back tire caught a kart and sent me airborne! I flipped 4 times finally landing on my side. I am extremely sore but essentially very lucky to be ok! My kart is another story but all of that can be taken care of!

Thank you to eveeyone who has messaged and checked on me. I really appreciate all your thoughts and prayers.

As always Thank you to all my sponsors for your support!

It’s was a 4th place weekend. Raced the Lincoln in the figure 8 at Roseville on Saturday.

Got 2nd in my heat
Started 4th and finished 4th in my feature on my top! I’m ok!

Enjoy the video from the Midwest Figure 8 racing page!

Definitely not the night I hoped for!
Qualified 4 out of 7
Heat started 4th ended 4th

Draw redraw and I pulled a 1!
Started on the pole and lead 6 beautiful laps then I spun on lap 7 after going in too low and clipping the tire. Restarted at the back and was trying to pass for 3rd and got a little too jumpy and spun again. Not the night I hoped for but that’s racing!

Congrats to Tyler Garrison on the win tonight!
Thanks to Nan, Tater, Emma, Kelly, Audrey and Easton for coming to watch!
