KJ MotorsportsUpdate #7Race #12 & #13
By: Kenny Johnson Date: 05-10-13
Sorry for the late update, I’ll just say I’ve been BUSY, VERY BUSY. . . LOL. Friday we went to Midway Speedway for $1,200 to win. I’ll say the Perine family has really cleaned that place up and it looks as though the fan support is tremendous. Jerry and family are making an effort and learning each and every week. Track was a little on the slick side, but it was that way for everyone. We chased our car all night long, every time we came off the track. We were 9th fastest out of 22 cars, started 3rd in our heat and battled for the win with Matt Holcomb, only to finish 2nd. Started 6th in the feature and fell as far back as 8th. We never gave up and manage to pass our way back to a 4th place finish. I was pleased to get 4th, but sure wasn't satisfied with it. We have to get better the next time we go back to Midway.Saturday we went back to I-77 Speedway where their car count was a little off. We were 3rd fastest and really struggled in the heat to get a 2nd place finish. We decided to try a set up change we had never tried before. It proved to us as to why we have never tried it. We fell to 4th, but battled our way to a 2nd place finish to Doug Henry who picked up his first win of the year. The track was not prepared very well at all and was even dusty for not only the fans but the drivers as well. Sure hope they improve soon.This week we plan to go to Legendary Hilltop Speedway on Friday and McCown’s Jackson County Speedway for $1,000 to win. We hope to see you there! Saturday we are having a “going away party” for Lexi who will be leaving for the Marines on May 20th. Her brother Shawn is currently in the Air Force, stationed in Montana and will be transferring to Germany this summer. Please keep both of them in your thoughts and prayers.
This week, I want to give a shout out to Jenni Cook. Jenni has done quite a bit of behind the scenes type stuff around promoting KJ Motorsports and obtaining sponsorship. She is also working on a newly revised web site. So be watching for that in the near future! Thanks Jenni for your help!!!!! Remember! To make this work, support those that support us!
