Friday (5/31) we went to Skyline, but Mother Nature had other plans and they had to cancel. Saturday (6/1) we went to I-77 Speedway where we had 4th fastest time and started outside pole of the heat. We took the lead, but our radiator mounts broke and the radiator fell back into the fan and destroyed the fan and radiator and we had to drop out. This would start us 16th in the feature and we managed to come to a 2nd place finish. Had a shot for the win, but I messed up coming to the white flag and drove it in too hard in turn 3 and choked. Although I should have been pleased with our 2nd place finish, I was kind of aggravated at myself for screwing up! Friday (6/7) we went back to Skyline Speedway & Coop drew us pill #16 to start us on the outside pole of heat #1 and we got the win. This started us on the pole of the feature and the track was slick and smooth. We took the early lead and never looked back. The car was really good in the slick and hope it continues. This made win #7. Saturday (6/8) we went to I-77 Speedway where we had 2nd fast time. We started on the pole of the heat beside Bruce Dennis. Bruce jumped out to the early lead and I was running hard to keep up with him and I spun out. I went to the tail and did come back to get a 3rd place finish to start us 6th in the feature. We passed our way to 2nd and worked on James Dennis for the lead. We got under James in 3 and 4 and James got his right rear in the slick and he spun out. It was building to be a good race. But once we got the lead we pulled away. But on the last lap coming off of turn 2 we broke a left rear axle and we limped it across the checkered to get win #8.This weekend brings us 4 nights of racing. We plan to be at Tyler County for a Renegades of Dirt show paying $1,200 to win, and we will be in Jason Canepari’s car that night. Friday we will be at Skyline, Saturday Ohio Valley Speedway and Sunday at West Virginia Motor Speedway for another Renegades of Dirt show. We hope to see you there! Friday morning we will be displaying our car at DERC (DuPont Employees Recreation Club) along with some other racers at Camp Crawdad. There will be several kids there and it should be a lot of fun! This week, I want to give a shout out to Kyle Jones & OVDTR.com. Kyle goes to all of the area race tracks and gives up his time to video the races and posts them on his web site. This is a lot of time and effort and if you have ever videoed before, you know he really don’t get to watch the races until he gets home and watches the tape. He will sell DVD’s of races, so contact him via his web site if you are interested! Thanks again for all of your support!Remember! To make this work, support those that support us!
