🔥🏁 Race Recap – 81 Speedway 4/18/26 Spring Fling🏁🔥
Not the night 99Racing wanted to end with, but that’s racing… 💔🏎️
In the 99C Mini Stock, Josh Caudell started the night strong—driving from 5th to 2nd in his heat race 🔥 and the car was looking really good. Back in the pits, Josh mentioned he had no brakes, so the team got that fixed and lined up 5th for the A Feature. He was making his way through the field 🚗💨, but after 8 laps had to pull off due to an issue with the car. We’re not sure yet if it’s the power steering pump or possibly motor-related ⚙️, but we’ll get it torn down and figured out.
As for the 99A… what a night 🔥 Aaron Esparza started 7th in his heat race and drove it all the way to the front to pick up the win 🥇That put him on the pole for the A Feature 🏁 He had a great start, but an early caution came out ⚠️. On the restart, coming out of turn two on lap one, the #1 car of Scott Miller came down out of his line and made contact with us. Aaron saved the initial spin 🔄, but about half a lap later the damage to the front end caused another spin and ended our night!!!
🏁Huge Congrats to Joey Richmond and the entire 82 Team for putting it in Victory Lane - well deserved 👏
We’ve got some work to do this week 🔧🛠️, but we will be back and ready for next weekend 💪🏁 Racing deal or not, with the level of talent and veteran drivers in this class, those situations shouldn’t happen.
💥🙏 Huge thank you to all of our sponsors and everyone who came out to support us. We definitely felt the 99Racing presence in the stands and pits last night 🙌🏁
