Jaxson currently races .25 midgets with the NASCAR YOUTH Series, Midwest Lightning Regional Series, and locally.

This past weekend was Jaxson’s very last race in a quarter midget! Even though we couldn’t get one last win, we had a blast! The Shorey Shootout is always our favorite race of the year! It was an up and down emotional day!

We can never thank the people enough who have helped us the last 7 years!! I can’t thank Nick Cox, Jacob Shanks, and Jason Hunt for the late nights in the garage getting the cars ready each week! And all our friends each weekend that we hung out with, traveled with, and raced with have all become family!

Thank you to everyone!! And we will be back once in awhile next year to cheer you all on!!

Now it’s time to switch gears and get ready for the Tulsa Shootout!!!

Good luck to all our NASCAR Youth Series friends and racing family this weekend at the last national! We will miss you all and loved going to nationals!

Jaxson has had many ups and downs at Nationals but has made some great friends that he never would have from across the country! Hopefully we will see you all in the future!!

Took a trip down to Southern Illinois Raceway last night. First time at this track. We are finding races with good competition to get him ready for the big races, and we found it last night!

Jaxson pulled out QuickTime during hot laps!!! But he can’t pull draw to save his life. He would start 9th in the heat and finish 7th on a heavy wet track. 1 of only 2 kids to actually move forward in the heat.

Feature started 7th and would finish 5th. Jaxson was fighting a damaged front wing and a tight car (thanks dad!).

Needless to say super happy with his lap times and his passion! Thank you to all our sponsors and friends that help each week!!

Another successful night! Throw a blanket over the top 3! It was a good race and the last 2 laps were exciting!

Jaxson’s lap times are right there with the fast and experienced kids! Every week he keeps getting faster and him and dad are learning the car.

5 races in with 4 podiums is something we never imagined would happen! Each week he keeps impressing us more and more!! Keep it up buddy!!!

Jaxson has this micro sprint rolling!! He’s getting quicker and more comfortable each week! We cannot be more proud of how quick he adapted and how awesome he is driving!!

Hot laps - 2nd quick

Heat - started 8th and finished 3rd! Which put him on the pole of the feature!!

Feature - started 1st but the outside car got a better start so Jaxson would finish 2nd! Still an amazing finish and race!!

Thank you to all our sponsors and fans! We truly appreciate it more than you all know!

Ran down to Doe Run yesterday to get some laps in. First time on this track Jaxson had some learning to do. By the time feature came around he was comfortable and had learned the track.

Jaxson started 10th in the feature, passing for 7th he got tangled with the outside car and came to a stop. Restarted 13th and would finish the race in 6th!! Beyond proud of his learning a new car and never giving up!!

Each week he gets better and better!! Thank you to all our sponsors and fans who support us!!

Keep an eye out for our new wrap on the way!! It’s gonna be WILD!!!
