KJ Motorsports Update #4 Race #4

4/6/15

Mother Nature won out on Friday night, but Saturday made for a good race day! Legendary Hilltop opted to race on Saturday and they were paying $1,000 to win, so we opted to stay close to home.

18 mods were on hand and Frankie got 8th fastest time. That started him 3rd in the heat #2, but on the first lap he lost the handle entering turn 1 and got hit. He went to the tail and raced a few laps, but had to pull off due to a flat tire. This started him on the tail of the feature but managed to come back to a 7th place finish. He is still trying to get comfortable with the car and plans to make some set up changes to accomplish that.

I set 3rd fastest time and started the pole of heat 3 beside Ricky Venham. Ricky got a run on the outside and took the early lead. We were battling and making for a good race until we both were going for the same real estate entering turn 3. I got on the binders hard and almost spun. Ricky was able to pull away and I couldn’t catch him before the checkers fell and we got 2nd. This started us 6th in the feature and I made a couple of changes. I now know that one of those changes tightens the car up too much. I had to force the car to turn on entry and we managed to get to 2nd, but had nothing for the leader and eventual winner KC Burdette.

I want to thank the Scythe family for their support and friendship, for they were prepared to go to another track, but when they heard our plans had changed, they opted to drive down from Columbus to watch us race! Also want to give a shout out to my hero, Dustin Jarrett. It’s been a while since I got to see him and also got to see his sister Lindsay and Bro In Law Dave.

It’s time I do a weekly sponsor recognition. I want to give a shout out to Jeff Schilling of Schilling Truss and Building Materials out of Beverly, OH. If you are in need of some new trusses, Schilling Truss is the place to call. They also stock many other building materials, go to www.schillingtruss.com or go to their Facebook page and give them a like. 

This coming weekend we plan to be at Legendary Hilltop Speedway on Friday and back to Atomic Speedway on Saturday. So, we hope to see you all there!

Remember, to make this work, support those that support us!
