First off, I want to thank Frankie, Coop, Brian and Chad for getting the racecar ready while I was out of town all week. Couldn’t have raced without ya!
We went to Legendary Hilltop Speedway on Friday where they had 23 cars. Frankie set 4th fastest time to start him beside fast qualifier Larry Bond. Larry got the early lead and Frankie went into turn 3 and got nudged and he spun. They put Frankie to the tail and he managed to get back to finish 3rd. That started him 7th in the feature but got caught up in a wreck which gave him a flat tire and a DNF.
I was able to set 3rd fast time and that started me on the pole of heat #3 beside Kyle Bond. I took the early lead running the low side, but Kyle found a line clear at the top and he was able to take the lead and the win. This started us 6th in the feature and was able to make it to 4th and did pass for 3rd once, but a caution came out and we were put back to 4th. I had nothing for the top 3 and was trying to hold off Nick Corbitt for 4th. But I lost the handle in turn one and if it wasn’t for Nick, I would have spun out. But he came by and was able to straighten me out and we did salvage a 5th place finish. Still not happy with how the car is performing.
Saturday went to Atomic and we had to rely on pill draw. Lisa Cooper drew Frankie #25 and that started him 3rd in the 2nd heat. On the first start they had a caution before one lap was in. The pole sitter was the caution, so this moved Frankie to the pole. Frankie was able to get the lead and the win to start on the outside pole of the feature. The track got very slick and he wasn’t quite dialed in the way he needed to be, but the car was better than it has been. He faded to a 7th place finish and more seat time and learnings on the modified.
Saturday morning, spent some time with the car and making changes. We found a mistake of mine and we were hoping that this is what has kept the car from performing. Maddy Cooper drew my pill and she got me #12 to start us on the outside pole of heat 1. We went on to get the win and that started us on the pole of the feature right beside our own teammate, Frankie Hall. We got the early lead and fought off hard challenges from Greggie Oliver driving the Kevin Dulaney owned #20 and we were able to hang on to the win, to get our 2nd for the year.
This week’s sponsor recognition, I want to give a shout out to Joe Schilling of JS Enterprises. Joe has been with us for several years now and Joe also built our “garage mahall” in 2008. Joe and his team can do renovations, roofing jobs, new construction, barns, pole buildings, etc. If you have a construction need of any kind, give Joe a call at 740-984-0203 and tell him we sent ya!
This coming weekend we plan to be at Legendary Hilltop Speedway on Friday, back to Atomic Speedway on Saturday. So, we hope to see you all there!
