Well last night just wasn’t our night! Went out for hot laps and the car was a little tight in the middle of the corners. Decided to move a bar and while I was doing that the rear end shifted way back. I didn’t realize it at the time but the yoke fell out of the transmission. So when I went to take of for qualifying the car didn’t move. Jump out of the car and thrashed as fast as I could but as I was getting my belts on the last car was pulling on the track. I didn’t make it. That out me starting 7th in my heat race. Changes were great and I was running 4th and got smoked right in the visor with about a 3” diameter rock. It popped my visor open and that split second deal cost me two spots. Finished 6th. In the feature I started 11th row outside. Holy smokes. Car felt great but coming out of 2 and 4 you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. I came out of 4 at one point and couldn’t see where I was at but the front stretch wall let me know very abruptly! 🤣 ran a few laps after that and decided to pull off the track. I’ll get back in the shop and hopefully get the car ready to go for Lucas Oil Speedway next Friday!

Good luck to everyone racing this weekend!

We had our toes in the sand all this week so I haven’t had any time to get the car ready! I have a ton of maintenance to catch up on and some new parts to install this coming week. We’ll see everyone next Saturday at Monett Motor Speedway for the MWM Shootout!

Race Recap: Monett was a pretty good time. Started 3rd in the heat race and finished 4th. That lined me up in the 5 spot for the feature and I ended up finished 4th in that as well. Made a few small changes last week that didn't really pan out so I didn't have a great car. I'll get back in the shop this week and go the other direction with the changes and see if we can get the car freed back up! See everyone at Springfield Raceway this weekend!

Well this weekend I’m going to skip the chaos of the big race in Nevada and instead run the good ole Monett Motor Speedway! Ready to see what this car can do there now that we got it freed up! Come on out and watch the show!

What an awesome night at the track! Cory was in Weat Plains so I had a new pit neighbor for the night. Ken Schrader parked in the spot and man it sure was cool to chat with him in between races!

Heat race was good, started 2nd and actually lead a few laps but finished second. Somehow that got me on the pole for the feature! Started out pretty good but lost some talent somewhere in the middle of the race and fell back to 5th. Still a good finish with no damage! The car turned better than ever! Huge shoutout to Jerry Hoffman and Jerry Brown for all the help! I’ll do some fine tuning on this old rig and get back at it!
