Long post for a long weekend!
Friday, we finally made our way back home to Winston Speedway - Michigan and was able to come home with a big win for the team and family. Not only were we able to bring a win home, but Adi brought home her first win!!! And beside these two, our cousin Kevin Juusola took her home in the Pro Late class. Friday night was a dominating night for the Rice/Juusolaโs. ๐ช๐ผ๐ Saturday Curtis had a bad fast car going from 8th to 2nd in the heat and 9th to 3rd in the feature.
We knew Adiโs win would be coming soon simply because she can wheel. If you watched her, you can clearly see the apple didnโt far from the tree there. She was so geeked, even if she didnโt even realize she won until her mom told her. Weโll blame it on the blonde hair. ๐คฃ Adis win and adrenaline carried into Saturday where she finished 4th in her heat 3rd in her feature.
And for Addison! She absolutely loved racing at Winston on Friday, and says she wants to race there every week. She loved the smooth track, and was able to gain a lot of confidence in trusting her kart which is exactly what she needed. Saturday at Crystal Motor Speedway - Crystal, MI she said it was the most fun sheโs ever had racing there. Simply because sheโs getting more comfortable, and trusting her equipment. We absolutely love watching her grow within racing! In her heat she finished 4th and her feature finished 6th.
As always, thank you to everyone who helps keep these 3 going and a shoutout to Todd Pease and Brandon Thirlby for helping us on the pro stock Saturday night.
