Friday, Aug. 23rd we went to Skyline Speedway where we won our heat race but didn’t fair too well in the feature. We faded back to a 7th place finish. Was pretty disappointed, for the car just wasn’t responding well.Saturday, Aug. 24th we went to Ohio Valley Speedway, where again we won our heat race, but finished a disappointing 5th place. Again the car seemed to be stagnant.Thursday, Aug. 29th we went to WVMS and they had 60 some cars. They broke us up into 2 groups and we were 3rd fast time in our group, which we were pretty happy with that. But they inverted the top 3 in each heat, so that put us starting 3rd in the 6th heat. We didn’t make it a full lap until we got caught up in a wreck in turn 3. It was an extremely hard hit with the outside while, which not only ended our night, it ended our weekend, for the car was too tore up to get going again. Not just for the weekend, but for the season. We started tearing the old one apart on Friday and started on the new one on Saturday. . . I want to thank those that helped get the new car going and those that offered up a ride until we got going again. It sure was tough setting out the rest of the weekend, but sometimes you just have to step back.Saturday, Sept. 7th we went to the Valley with the new car. We started 4th in the heat and finished 3rd. This started us 9th in the feature and we finished 6th. Car drove really good, just didn’t have any drive. So we will get some things changed around on it this week and see if we can find something for this weekend.

This weekend, we will be at Legendary Hilltop Speedway on Friday and Atomic Speedway (formerly K-C Speedway) for their re-opening! So we hope to see you there! This week, I want to give a shout out to Tim Cooper and his family for all of his hard work and dedication he provides to KJ Motorsports. He gives up a lot of family time to help keep the race team going and does a lot for my family as well. Proud to call him a brother from a different mother!
