This past weekend, Frankie had some other commitments to work, personal
and family that he needed to tend to, so he took the weekend off.
We went to Legendary Hilltop Speedway on Friday where they had 22 cars. We set 5th fastest time and that started us on the outside pole of heat #1 beside fast qualifier Jesse Wisecarver. Jesse took the early lead and we maintained with him for the first half of the race, but had to settle for 2nd. That started us 5th in the feature. We fell to 7th right off the bat, but fought our way back on the bottom to a 3rd place finish. Normally I’m not thrilled with a 3rd, but the car had a good feel for me this night and it went the right direction. I feel we have something to work with now and can be in the hunt for some wins.
Saturday we went to Atomic Speedway for the Dan Reno Memorial and they had 31 cars. We set 4th fastest time to start us 3rd in the dash. We raced John Burdette for 2nd place, but he had the high side and we just couldn’t make the pass. So we started 3rd in the feature. Again raced John for 2nd for a few laps but overheated the right rear tire and once it got hot I was just hanging on. We ran 3rd most of the race, but Shawn Holliday got by us and on the last lap Jason Montgomery got by as well to give us a 5th place finish. I feel we had a good car, but with our tire choice, it didn’t really prove it.
This week’s sponsor recognition, I want to give a shout out to Steve Balderson Construction. Steve not only has Mustang Plaza Car Wash in Mineral Wells, WV, he does concrete work as well. From basement floors, garage floors, driveways, parking lots, etc. If you don’t want to mow it, he can make it concrete. If you need any kind of concrete work, please give Steve a call (304-481-2484) and he’ll get you a quote and tell him we sent ya!
This coming weekend we plan to be at Legendary Hilltop Speedway on Friday and then we will be heading to a brand new track for us at Wythe Raceway in Wytheville, Va. for a Renegade of Dirt show. So, we hope to see you all there!
Remember, to make this work, support those that support us!
