KJ Motorsports Update #15 Race #23

6/30/15

We need more rain! NOT!!! Wow, this weather sure has played havoc with us trying to do some racing. We have done some road trips over the past 2 weekends, but only got to race once and that was at Skyline Speedway this past Sunday night. Freddy Carpenter and team opened the track up and by the car count; you could certainly tell guys were itching to race. They had 43 mods and we were 3rd quick. Started on the pole of the 3rd heat beside Roy Roush and we got the win to start us 3rd in the feature, with Kevin Morehouse and Travis Dickson on the front row and Tommy Powell beside us. We went 20 laps, green to checkered and we finished 3rd. All in all I was pleased with our performance and feel we can improve the car at Skyline for our next trip there.

Just a little bit of news update. Frankie has his current Shaw car up for sale for $10,000 minus engine and transmission. Give us a shout if you have interest and we’ll help with set up in anyway we can. Frankie will be bringing out his brand new Shaw in the very near future. So stay tuned!

This weekend is a 3 day race weekend and we plan to be at Tyler County Speedway on Thursday night, then to Atomic Speedway on Friday night and on Saturday we plan to be at Ohio Valley Speedway. So we hope to see you all there!

This week’s recognition, I want to give a shout out to Octane Race Products and Poske’s Performance Parts and all of the guys and gals that work out there. There isn’t anything you can’t find out there that is for a racecar and Octane Race Products is designed to provide quality product and an affordable costs compared to some brand name products. If you get a chance stop out and if you’re not needing parts, pick you up a t-shirt or hoodie and tell them we sent ya.

KJ Motorsports Update #33 Race #58

10/19/14

This past weekend was the Dirt Track World Championship at Portsmouth Raceway Park where they had 84 modifieds and 89 late models. Our weekend started off on Thursday night, where we were challenged with a rough race track due to rains on Wednesday night and Thursday morning. We set 4th fastest time in our group to start us on the outside pole of heat #4 beside Evan Taylor. Evan got the early lead and we fell to 4th. We passed our way back to 2nd and Evan got into a lap car and had to go pit side. We took over the lead and held on until the last lap. I caught a rut and it threw the car up the track and Joey Kramer was able to get by us. But this locked us into the show, starting us 10th. We were supposed to run our feature on Saturday night, but Mother Nature thought differently. So we had to race on Sunday afternoon in the day time. History has proven, that most day time races I don’t fare to well. I feel like this race proves that I have more work to do on daytime races. We started 10th and were passed by a few cars and we passed a few cars and we also had a few drop out. But in the end, we finished 7th and although I am pleased we survived and we didn’t tear anything up and we had some stiff competition, I’m not happy about not advancing further up than we did. But I don’t run Portsmouth Raceway Park but once a year and I just don’t seem to have a good handle on the set up I need there. But it is a really nice facility and a lot of good people running it.

This week, I want to give a shout out to Joe and Jeff Schilling for providing the camper for us to stay at the track. Tim Cooper and Danny Sweet for their efforts on working on the racecar. Also, Tom & Pam Lemon & the race teams of Seth Daniels, Mikey McPherson, John Burdette & Kevin Dulaney for providing a great time.

This weekend we will be at Atomic Speedway, Thursday thru Saturday for $5,000 to win. So we hope to see you there!
