I was just about to write up our Tennessee trip, but see my man Jason Finigan had a great write up already.

We are home from Tennessee! The red clay @ Morrison Speedway was definitely something different from what I am used to racing on in Ohio!
Race day recap: we went out for 1st practice session and quickly found we were way off the mark and made a mad dash back to the trailer for some chassis tuning and tire change. We made it back out for last chance practice and the kart was better but still wasnโt what we were looking for. We hit the track for qualifying and ended up around 8th quickest. The kart was still a little tight so we decided on a couple chassis tweaks for the heat race. Heat race time came around and I quickly found out our chassis tweaks were too drastic and the kart was so loose it was damn near impossible to get around the track and I decided to pull off 3 laps into the heat race. The DNF in the heat race put me to the tail for the start of the feature and we decided to put the kart setup back where it was earlier in the day just to get the kart drivable again. Starting on the tail (16th) is never fun but it ainโt over till itโs over! Made it up to 7th towards the end of the feature and ended up dropping a couple spots and finishing 9th! Overall a good weekend and happy with the outcome considering the struggles in the heat race. Wanna shout out to David Ridenbaugh for talking me into making the trip and busting his butt all day at the track to help me with the kart and also to Stanley Caroline III for tech support over the phone! Thank you to all the people that make this possible and my cheerleaders that had to stay home in Ohio this weekend!
