Ethan ran wide open with his smallest RPM drops ever!

Lucas bent his front axle in the middle of the heat but still moved up a spot. Crew chief changed the axle to only find out the backup axle was also bent on the RF. Did every trick possible like adding lead and adjusting tie rods to get as much left turn as possible. Went out for the feature and still did well!

Stayed and did some practice with friends after. Lucas and Charlie tried to catch Carter in a WF with their Animals. Ethan had fun running good lines with Carsten.

And, Lucas got to do a little announcing😎

Race week 2026 finished with 4 races at 4 different tracks in 6 days! Race 3 was at South Jersey. Both boys started 6th in the 8 lap heats, then after the short 12 lap week night features they both had moved up to 3rd for podium medals! Pocono was fun night, features only. Drivers and handlers competed in water balloon and egg toss to determine their starting position in the features. Ethan and Lucas both ran well but spun out off turn 3. Tricky track when you only go there once a year but it is a blast. Here’s some picks from those last 2 races. And Ethan lost a tooth while strapped in his car before the heat race at South Jersey 🤪

First time racing in the NASCAR Youth Series National Races! Lucas and Ethan both did great. They had good passes and finishes in their heat races. Good enough to go straight to the B-mains in all 3 cars! This means they got to skip F, E, D, and C lower mains! They ran all three cars to their fastest laps ever at Blackbird Quarter Midget Race Club.

Didn’t make it to the A-Mains on Sunday but still having fun cheering for their friends that did: Charlie Wilt Racing, Fank Family Racing, Trevor’s Fast Life!

Special shout out to new partner/sponsor Avondale Auto Service LLC! This winter and spring they were able to fix some of our bent front axles!

This shop knows how to work on vehicles, old and new. They are not afraid to get their hands dirty and do the actual work. Check them out for inspections, repairs, custom exhausts and more.

One of the axles they bent back was in Ethan’s white car when he won Motorama Quarter Midget Indoor Race this winter!

Baseball is winding down for us and the boys will be back to regularly racing.
