Friday we went to Legendary Hilltop for a 40 lap, $1,200 to win race. They had 30 cars and Joe Schilling of JS Enterprises put up $100 for fast time. Roy Roush got fast time and we got 2nd fast, missed it by just .1 . . . That started us on the pole of heat 2 beside KC Burdette. We got the heat win and that put us in the dash that was paying $200, winner takes all. Coop recommended a set up change to try for the dash. They let the kids with a certain ticket number draw for our starting spot in the dash. Lil Joe Lattea drew us a #4 (last) starting spot. But we were able to get the win to start us on the pole of the feature. From there, we were able to lead every lap and get win #16.
Saturday we went to Ohio Valley Speedway for the “Finale at the Valley”, paying $1,000 to win and they also had 30 cars. We again set 2nd fast time, this time to Chris Garnes driving the RC3. We started beside Nick Corbitt and went on to get the heat win to start us on the outside pole beside Chris Garnes. We took the lead off of turn 2 on all 3 starts. But each start had a caution before we got a lap in. So for the 4th start, we had to go single file, giving Chris the lead. We followed for a long time with KC Burdette showing his nose on the bottom. But with less than 5 to go, Chris broke and we had one given to us, for I’m not certain we could have passed Chris, but that wasn’t stopping me from driving the heck out of it. But we did pick up win #17 on the season.
This week, I need to give a shout out to anybody that supports and cheers for us. It amazes me how big of a fan base we have. I really appreciate the support and cheers from everyone! But whether you cheer for me or not, I appreciate race fans in general, for if not for you we’d have no reason to race, nor would the promoters be able to have a racetrack. I know each of you give up a lot to attend the races every week and I want you to know, it’s appreciated!
This weekend we will be at Legendary Hilltop Speedway on Friday for their season championship race and on Saturday we will be back to Atomic Speedway to see if we can get the monkey off our back there. So we hope to see you there!
Remember, to make this work, support those that support us!
