Update #2

First Race This Saturday

Date: 3-29-10 Well it is coming down to the wire to have everything ready for this weekend. We got a 2008, 28’ enclosed trailer. It is a little smaller but a lot lighter and Cooper has got it pretty close and ready for the season. The car is basically done except for decals, which should be done by the end of the week. Our first race will be at Tyler County on Saturday, since Skyline has postponed there opener until April 16th. I have updated the schedule page. I’m getting really anxious for the start of the season and looking forward to a successful season. So be watching next Monday for the update on how we do. Hopefully I won’t fire myself right off the bat. . . .LOL
Thanks to everyone who has helped get us to this point thus far!
Remember! To make this work, support those that support us! Thanks again for your support,

Update #1 3 Weeks Until 1st Race

Update #1

3 Weeks Until 1st Race

By Kenny Johnson
12 Mar 2010

First off, I want to apologize for not keeping my web site up to date the last half of the 2009 season. With all of the transitioning that was taking place, I just wasn’t up for updating it all. But to recap, I finished racing for Hassy Chassis in June and Louie Krushansky and his team volunteered his back up car so that we would keep racing. I believe I drove it 5 times and had mostly top 5 runs in it. In the meantime a deal was being worked out with my arch enemy, Jr. Nolan. It was a deal that would allow us to race a new Shaw Chassis. So the last half of the year we drove for 2 Brothers Motorsports and Shaw Chassis. We picked up 2 more feature wins and several 2nd’s and 3rd’s. We improved tremendously on slick tracks.
I want to thank Tod Buckhalter at Hassy Chassis for several good years of racing and I want to thank Jr. and Tommy Nolan of 2 Brothers Motorsports and Kevin Shaw of Shaw Chassis for allowing me to come on board and be a part of their team. We intend to run the same Shaw Chassis for 2010. It is nearly complete and will soon be decal’ed and ready to race. I want to thank Billy Lloyd Racing Engines and Kanawha Valley Maintenance for the efforts and support! Our support this year will be 2 Brother’s Motorsports, Shaw Chassis, K-Graphics. Also receive some help, whether it be in money or labor, Billy Joe and Wanda Hammett, the Lemon Family, the Cooper Family, Jason Canepari and of course Dad and Mom. Really anxious to get he season kicked off and hope to get several wins.
On Feb. 14th I asked Kim to marry me and she said yes. So it looks like on 10/10/10 we will be getting married. She picked the date. I reminded her that racing season is still going on. She informed me that is where she wants to be in years to come on our anniversary. So everyone now knows and everyone can help remind her of it. LOL
As of now April 2nd is the first race and it will be at Skyline. Then April 3rd we will be heading to Tyler County.
Remember! To make this work, support those that support us! Thanks again for your support,
