We’re looking to make our first true attempt at the ValleyStar Credit Union 300 at Martinsville Speedway, but we need your help to make it happen!

We’re looking to bring on a few new partners for Martinsville and the remainder of our 2026 season. We have multiple spots available on the car and would love to represent some great businesses on one of the biggest stages in Late Model Stock Car racing.

Traveled back over to Lonesome Pine Raceway this past weekend for Race 4.

We tested all day Friday and made steady gains, but we were still missing something. Saturday’s rain delay gave us time to make major changes to all four corners of the car.

We qualified with our fastest lap ever at Lonesome Pine, a 16.08. After qualifying, we finally found a major issue in the front end that we’ve been chasing since we picked up the car. With only 30 minutes before the race, we scrambled to get everything back together, not knowing what to expect once the green flag dropped.

The car struggled a little early, but by lap 15 it was the best it had ever been. We ran with the front of the field most of the night before the car started trending a little free on corner entry. After a few cautions and a long green-flag run, we brought home a 6th-place finish against, by far, the toughest field we’ve had at Lonesome Pine this season.

The finishing position doesn’t tell the whole story. We finally found the issue we’ve been chasing all year, and this was easily the best the car has been. I’m excited to see what the rest of the season has in store.

None of this would be possible without the incredible people I have in my corner. There is so much that happens behind the scenes that most people never see, and I’m truly thankful for everyone who continues to believe in and support this team.

As we head into the final stretch of the season, we’re planning to run several major races at different tracks. With those opportunities comes added expense, so we’re actively looking for partners to join our program for the remainder of the season. If you or someone you know would be interested in coming on board, I’d love to talk. Feel free to reach out!

Round 3 at Lonesome Pine Raceway this past weekend.

Unloaded Saturday for the first race on our new to us chassis. Had really good speed right out of the trailer and made gains throughout the day.

Qualifying rolled around and I slipped up putting us at the back for the start of the race. Ran conservative for the first 30 laps of the race and started to get more comfortable in the car. Started to pick it up about halfway through the race and found ourselves sitting 4th with 15 laps to go. Nearly on the bumper of 2nd and 3rd with 6 laps to go, we had a belt snap and lost power steering and started overheating. Unfortunate end to a really positive night and weekend.

Very thankful to have the opportunities to continue to do this and improve each week. A lot of work went in behind the scenes this past week. Thank you to everyone who helped us make it to the track. One special thank you to my dad who was in the garage til 3 in the morning all week just trying to get us to the track.

It was a very up and down weekend but very happy with the speed we found at the first race on the new chassis.

Thank you to all of my awesome sponsors:
