Race #46 & #47

To get you up to speed, we went to KC Speedway for the Dirt Track World Championship for $3,000 to win. We got rained out on Thursday so we started at 2:00 on Friday. They had 90 some mods and we set fast time in our group and went on to win the heat race. This would start us 3rd in the feature. I was very happy with the car and we had high expectations for the feature. The late models got rained out on Friday night, so they started at 4:00 on Saturday. Our feature was run before theirs, but from what we had seen in their heat races, the track was a one lane racetrack on the bottom. So when we went out, that is exactly what we had and I missed the set up. I held on as long as I could and when I was getting freight trained I pulled it in on lap 22. Very, very disappointed and it was not the weekend I was looking for. To top it off, as soon as I got back in the pits, Tim and Chad had everything ready to load and told me Kim was in the hospital. She thought she had broken her foot, but as it turned out she had a severe sprain and spent 3 days on crutches. She is heeling up just fine.

This past weekend we went to Jackson County Speedway for $1,000 to win. We set 4th fastest time and won our heat race. They redrew the top 2 in each heat and there were 5 heat races. Yep, we drew the #10 starting spot. I was a little concerned if we could do any passing. But we had a really good car and we passed our way to a 4th place finish. We really needed another caution to possibly have a shot at the leader. But we’ll take that run!

This weekend we have 2 options, either Jackson County Speedway or Atomic Speedway (formerly KC Speedway) on Saturday night. At this time we are undecided. To keep up to date the night of the race, follow us on Facebook under Kenny Johnson Motorsports.
