Well, here it goes. Quite possibly the final post for the forseeable future! This one will be a LONG one & I don’t even know where to start. 2015 we bought Deegan his first go kart in which he couldn’t start racing until 2017 at age 4. That kart came from the Crane Family who since have turned into some of our absolute best friends that we have. During that first summer racing we became friends with Matt Chavis & Dave Richer. To this day Matt still builds Deegan’s engines and Dave helps with setups, tires and everything else in between. We’ve raced all over the country together with these guys, some really late nights in the truck together and some really awesome wins and championships down South together as well. Our PA racing was always a struggle for us as it’s very hard & competitve there. That took a turn for the better in 2022 I believe as we teamed up with Cole Achey. We won a lot of races, learned and had fun together. Last year Deegan was approaching 100 wins and that was going to be it as we had an iron in the fire about a potential move. As fate would have it we ended up stuck at 99 wins and he absolutely refused to stop racing until he hit win 100. He picked up the championship at Lebanon Valley last year for their Hot Summer Pro Series in which Deeg was very excited for as he knew it was going to be his last chance at a leather jacket. Mike Farina was a big part of Deegans success as well last season at LV! He quickly said we can’t be done until I hit win 100 so here we are back at it in 2025 but knowing it was all coming to an end this season. Between the rain and a couple of races we didn’t win it’s taken a bit longer than hoped lol. Saturday night it all changed as Deeg picked up the elusive 100th win!! We cheered, we smiled, we hugged and we cried. All of us! What I will say is it was awesome having a lot of the guys there to see it they have helped Deegan over the years. To EVERYONE that’s helped Deegan from year 1 until year 9, THANK YOU! We couldn’t have done this without any of you and we can’t express how much we appreciate each and every one of you. Below will be both a list of people that’s helped us along with sponsors over the last 9yrs, I sure hope I don’t forget anyone because it’s going to be a lot!

On to new adventures and a new place but it’s not easy. Thank you to each and every one of you! The final 🏁 ✌🏻
