Had another practice at a Willamette Speedway and shaved 2 seconds off his average lap time! He’s getting more confident and itching to race!
Asher Dean Racing
Asher started racing outlaw karts in April of 2021. Follow along to watch his journey while he navigates this fun sport!
First practice was a major success! No walls were hurt and he kept it straight. He was even able to pass a car! He’s begging to race the 100 lapper tomorrow but…

We’re here at Willamette Speedway ready for Asher to rip some laps for the first time in the hornet. 🐝 Taking bets on how many laps until it hits the wall. Swapping to front wheel drive is going to be a learning curve we think!
Asher got called for stopping on the track and was made to leave after avoiding karts going around a spin. Curious on everyone’s opinion, should he have been given a caution for this? Or was he ok since his tires never stopped?

Asher drove hard today and went from the C to the B mains. He was in a transfer spot for the A main when another kart spun out causing a pileup and he had nowhere to go. It caused him to slow down and they called him for the caution. A bummer (and wrong) call but what can we do. We absolutely couldn’t have asked for him to drive any differently today and come back from yesterday. He ended up 18th out of 29 overall. For being one of the youngest 250 drivers we are super proud of how much he’s learned an grow as a driver this year. Next year will be a fun and hopefully winning year for him!
It’s always nice when one of your sponsors takes time to come to a race, especially a long 4 day race. Sunriver Glass and Mirror may be family but we are so thankful for their support and cheering Asher on in person. To all our other sponsors, you are SO appreciated! Thank you for supporting our boy and giving him the gear and kart he needs to succeed.

Rolling out 5th in the C but ready to do some work and actually finish a race today! 🤪 Yesterday is behind us and Asher is pumped for the final day of WCN.
Quick recap. Started the heat in 6th and to avoid a kart spinning in front of him Asher got a little sideways before being taken out by the kart behind him. Bummer deal but that’s racing. He started again had no room to avoid another kart that spun in front of him.
We got the kart all ready to go do the B and as he went onto the track a bolt stripped out from the front block and ended his day.
Barely any points earned today and he’s bottom of the barrel sitting 25th of 29 for points but he’s going to come back and give it his all in the B tomorrow.
