Update #24
Race #38 & #39

Friday we went to Skyline where they had 30 modifieds. Tim Cooper drew the #1 pill to start us on the pole of the first heat in which we won. Started on the pole of the feature and took the lead and never looked back to get win #14. Car felt really good and it made for a great night.

Saturday we went to the Valley to finally get in the Topless race and also the Faster Pastor race. Mark Houser (my pastor) drove Steve Brown’s car and started front row outside. Mark is the type to hold back and let others receive all the glory. So he finished 6th. That’s my reason he finished 6th, of course his daughter not letting him off the hook that easy. For she said she could have out ran him on foot. . . LOL But it was a fun night for all involved. For the topless race, they had 37 modifieds and we were 2nd fast time. Started on the pole of the heat and won it. Cooper drew us another great pill to start us on the pole of the feature. We took the lead and we had gotten pressure from Phil Jeffries, Ricky Venham & Jimmy Fordyce but were able to hold each of them off and get win #15 for the year. It was a really good night with church members being there to see our win and also some High Side Fans from Chillicothe, OH (The Caplinger Family and the Branscom’s) made the trip down rather than going to K-C Speedway. Having the fan support that we do, really means a lot. Just like the sponsors we have. . . I want to thank Jr. and Tommy Nolan of 2 Brothers Motorsports, Shaw Racecars, K-Graphics, Balderson Construction, Billy Lloyd Racing Engines, H&S Construction, T&L Consulting, Bill & Patty Welch, Billy Joe and Wanda Hammett, Wayne Cornell of WOC Designs, TNS Photos, Carl and Sharon Walker and of course Mom and Dad. It would be near impossible to race without the support of these people. Also need to thank Tim Cooper, Chad Nelson and Jason Canepari for the many hours they put in at the track and at the garage.

This is a huge racing weekend coming up. We will be at Mineral Wells for a make up race on Thursday where we start 7th. Then we are there Friday and Saturday for 2 complete shows paying $2,000 to win each. Sunday we go to Tyler County Speedway for 100 lap race paying $10,000 to win. If our wining streak or even just our running good streak can continue it will be a great weekend. So we hope to see you there! For those that read our newsletters, we are now searching for sponsorship for 2011. If you have a contact or know of a business that would be interested in advertising with our race team, please get a hold of me.

Remember! To make this work, support those that support us!

Thanks again for your support, KJ
