🏁📸 Dixie Shootout Series Recap | Huntsville 📸🏁
Another whirlwind of a weekend in Huntsville. Unfortunately, the effort our team put in didn't quite reflect in the results. But what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger, and we are definitely stronger, more determined, and ready for the next one! 💪🏁
🏁 Brextyn | Jr. Honda
Heat: 7th ➡️ 3rd
A Main: Started 5th, Finished 6th
For 3/4 of the race, Brextyn was running 2nd behind our best buddy Knox Davidson Racing. They were clicking off lap after lap and putting on one heck of a show! With less than 10 laps to go, Brextyn was clipped in the left rear by the 3rd-place car entering Turn 3, sending him flipping into Turn 4 and onto his roof after contacting the wall. 😞
Thankfully, both Brextyn and the car were okay. After a quick assessment, he re-grouped his emotions and finished the race, salvaging a 6th-place finish. Not the result we were hoping for, but we'll keep working and giving it our best.
🏁 Brextyn | Jr. 160 💔
Heat: Started 2nd, Finished 1st 🏆
A Main: Started 2nd, Finished 9th
The heat race was AMAZING! Brextyn rocketed around the outside, grabbed the lead immediately, and never looked back. To say he was pumped would be an understatement! The A Main started the same way. He quickly took control of the race and led an incredible 21 of the 30 laps. A late-race caution changed everything. While avoiding a spinning car, Brextyn got dirt on his tires. On the restart, while trying to regain the lead, he got loose, spun, and was collected by several cars behind him. He fought back as best he could but could only recover to 9th.
Such a tough one to swallow after being so close. 💔
🏁 Brody | Sr. Honda
Heat: Started 4th, Finished 2nd
A Main: Started 5th, Finished 5th
A great heat race and some awesome battles early in the feature. While following his buddy Henry Albright toward the front, Brody and another car got together and became locked up, bringing out a caution. Neither driver knew the other was there. Just one of those unfortunate racing incidents. After restarting from the rear, Brody worked his way back through the field and brought home a solid 5th-place finish.
🏁 Brody | LWF 💔
Heat: Started 3rd, Finished 3rd
A Main: Started 6th, Finished 7th (DNF)
Another heartbreaking World Formula race at Huntsville.
Brody was confident, excited, and truly felt like he had a podium-worthy car. A mid-race wreck caused significant damage to another competitor, and when the field lined back up, Brody found himself lined up 4th behind a car with a right rear tire going flat. Several handlers attempted to get the issue addressed before the restart but were unsuccessful 💔 When the green flag dropped, that car in front of Brody couldn't maintain pace with the leaders, all while Brody was being pushed from behind. Attempting to get underneath the slowing car, Brody was clipped from behind, triggering a chain reaction that sent him flipping, getting hit multiple times, and ultimately into the wall.
The crash destroyed the entire front end of the car and ended our day. Could the incident have been avoided? Absolutely. But we some things are out of our control, and unfortunately, it became another race where we weren't able to show the speed we had.
🏁 Brody | Lt. 160
Heat: Started 6th, Finished 4th
B Main: Started 5th, Finished 3rd
A Main: Started 9th, Finished 8th
Not much to say about this one. We moved forward in every race, but the final results weren't what we were hoping for. We tried several setup changes throughout the day, and the track changed dramatically from morning to night.
While the finishes weren't where we wanted them, we gathered valuable notes and data that will help us next time.
❤️ Final Thoughts
Lots of lessons learned this weekend. We left Huntsville with more knowledge than we arrived with, a fresh perspective, and an even stronger determination to keep improving.
The results may not show it, but we're incredibly proud of the effort, resilience, and sportsmanship both boys showed all weekend long.
Small race team. Big race dreams. And we're just getting started. 🏁❤️
