KJ Motorsports Update #10 Race #13 & #14

KJ Motorsports Update #10 Race #13 & #14

05/11/14

We kicked off our weekend on Thursday night at Atomic Speedway. They had 31 cars and we drew pill #22 to start us 4th in the 2nd heat. Roy Roush took the early lead and we were able to make another last lap pass to get the heat win. This started us on the outside pole of the feature and we went on to get win #6. But I had an engine problem the entire feature. Unsure what the problem is, so I just have to start replacing parts.

Friday we went back to Atomic, but in the end, got rained out and it was too late to try and go somewhere else. We stayed all night with Sean Schobelock and sure do appreciate the hospitality that he and Stacy provided.

Saturday we went to Roosters to eat and then to the track in hopes of racing. But Mother Nature had other plans and they cancelled just early enough for us to make it to Skyline. Rain was horrible traveling to Skyline. It was raining when we got there and we waited it out and sure enough Jerry Perine and crew got the track ready to race. We went out to qualify and the engine problem was still there, so I pulled off. We changed out more parts and went out for the heat race. Started on the tail in 7th and passed to a 4th place finish, but still yet had the same problem. Changed out more things and was able to go out and make one lap and still wasn’t fixed. Made one more part change out, started 11th in the feature and came to 6th before getting a left rear flat tire. But more aggravating was the fact that we still have a problem and it only shows up when we are full throttle under a load. So we have more things to change out this week and hope we can have it resolved by Friday.

This week we plan to go to Legendary Hilltop Speedway on Friday and back to Atomic Speedway on Saturday. Hope to see you all there!
