Update #4
Race #5 & #6

By: Kenny Johnson Date: 04-15-13

Friday we returned to Legendary Hilltop Speedway where they had 23 modifieds. I drew pill #46 to start us 6th in the second heat race. We managed to get a win to start us on the outside pole of the feature beside Bruce Dennis. We jumped into the early lead and was running on the low side. After a few green flag laps, Roy Roush started showing his nose on the outside and was actually making a pass on me. But a caution flew and on the restart, I thought I’d give the high side a try (even though I’m known as a catfish, LOL) and the groove up high provided some more traction and we went on to get win #2 over Roy Roush.
Saturday we went to McCown’s Jackson County Speedway for $1,000 to win and they had 25 cars. Maddy Cooper went with us and drew us pill #49 to start us dead last in the heat in 9th place. We managed to race our way to a 3rd place finish, which would start us 7th in the feature. I felt like we had a good car and was pleased to be able to start as far up as 7th. The groove and Jackson has typically become a bottom groove track, but I was able to make a few passes running the middle and we passed our way to a 3rd place finish while racing Jess Hartman for 2nd when the checkered fell. Of course would have liked to have won, but was happy to get 3rd and to take what the car and track gave me.
This weekend we plan to go back to Legendary Hilltop Speedway on Friday, Saturday we’ll be at Ohio Valley Speedway and Sunday after church we’ll be heading to West Virginia Motor Speedway, providing we survive Friday and Saturday. We hope to see you there!
