No racing this past Friday! Saturday we were supposed to go to Atomic Speedway again, but Mother Nature made other plans and Atomic was forced to cancel. So again, since they cancelled, we stayed close to home and went to Legendary Hilltop Speedway, where they had 27 modifieds. We set fast time and started on the pole of heat one beside Tyler Evans and we picked up the win. This started us on the pole of the feature beside Jimmy Fordyce. We took the lead early and were running the high side. As the race went on the high side of turn two was slickening up, so I dropped down to the middle. Anthony Kinkade made his way to 2nd and was on the bottom. He was able to show his nose on entry and thru the middle, but we had the momentum off the corner. But he seemed to be getting better and better. So with less than 5 to go I went to the bottom and with 2 to go Anthony buzzed around the outside and passed me. Anthony picked up the win and we got our 10th 2nd place
finish of the year.
We also got to drive the 53C, Steve Curtis owned late model. They had 33 late models and we got 9th fastest time, which was respectable for the field of cars that was there. We went out and started 3rd in the first heat behind Steve Lucas and Tyler Carpenter. We finished 3rd in the heat race to start us 9th in the feature. We ran 9th, but I pulled off for the engine was going flat. The car drove super, just wasn’t putting out any power to get us off the corners. . . Appreciate Steve, Roger and Bruce giving me an opportunity.
This week, I need to give a shout out to everyone at Poske’s Performance Parts for all of their support this year and hope next season is as good as or better than this year. Also please continue to keep John McDaniel’s family and friends in your prayers. R.I.P.
This weekend we will be at Portsmouth Raceway Park for the Dirt Track World Championship, Thursday thru Saturday. So we hope to see you there!
Remember, to make this work, support those that support us!
