KJ Motorsports Update #12 Race #21 & #22 By:
Kenny Johnson Date: 6-10-08 I’d like to start off by wishing Keith Emrick of
K-Graphics a Happy 50th Birthday!!!!! Friday we went to Skyline and dad drew us
a #10 pill, which started us outside pole of the 2nd heat. We got the heat race
win to start us on the outside pole of the feature. The track was slick, but
had just a touch of moisture on the top. I know it’s hard to believe, but I
went to the top and went on to get the win over John Burdette. John has been
out of racing for a couple of years and was driving Mike McPherson’s car. We
made a good race out of it and I sure enjoyed pal’ing around with him in the
pits like the old days!
Saturday we went to the Valley and started 5th in
the heat race. We managed to get to 3rd to start us 5th in the feature. Made it
to 3rd and raced Ricky Venham for 2nd but could not make the pass. So we
settled for the 3rd. I was disappointed with our run and hope to do better down
there next Saturday.
Just wanted to mention that some guests showed up
at the races this weekend and it was good to see them there. Loretta
Shortridge, Michael and Michelle Willoughby, Dave Nicholson and his wife. Also
keep longtime friend Steve Armentrout and Hilton Wolfe in your prayers for they
are dealing with health issues.
Need to thank Tod and the gang at Hassy Chassis.
Also need to thank Tim Cooper and Jason Canepari for their support thru the
week in garage and at the track. Sponsors are K-Graphics, Racersmate, Dickson
Racing Shocks, Balderson Construction, H&S Construction, Laurita
Excavating, Billy Lloyd Racing Engines, Zemba Bros., Inc., Gene’s Trailer
Sales, Wrisco Aluminum.
Also remember those that helped when they were
here; Tom Willoughby, Bill Shortridge & Mike “Bubba” Whited.
This week we plan to go to Skyline on Friday and
Ohio Valley on Saturday for the Mike “Bubba” Whited memorial race for the Mini
Wedges.
Hope to see you there! Remember! To make this
work, support those that support us! Thanks again for your support,
KJ
