Race Recap| Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway|

Finished 8th at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway in my first time racing on a larger, fast track and learned a lot throughout the night. I gained a lot of experience with handling the car at higher speeds, and we kept improving every time we hit the track.

Overall, it was a great experience for our team, and most importantly we brought the car back to the trailer clean and ready for Evergreen June 27th. We know what we need to work on, and I’m looking forward to coming back to Kern in October stronger and more prepared.

Race Recap | Stockton 99 Speedway

It was a tough night but the car rolled into the trailer!
Qualified 7th and laid down our best lap time yet. We ended up finishing 6th out of 14 cars after a hard-fought race.

It definitely wasn’t an easy one we got spun 3 times and were caught up in a couple of incidents but I kept focused and stayed on the lead lap all night. We were battling hard for a top 5 but just ran out of laps at the end.

The competition was tough with lots of contact, but we made solid improvements and learned a ton. Most importantly, we were able to bring the car back in one piece and roll it into the trailer.

On to the next one at Kevin Harvicks Kern Raceway in Bakerfield, CA 👊

Race Recap | Las Vegas at The Bullring

It was a rough start to the night, but we kept fighting the whole race. I got tangled up in a couple wrecks early and even after a choose cone error that sent me to the back, we kept digging and worked our way from 20th up to 10th by the checkered flag. We put together our best laps at the end of the race and never gave up.

Unfortunately, I was involved in both incidents with Ryan Phipps, and the second one ended his night. I want to apologize to Ryan and his team for that.

Proud to come away with my first top-10 finish.

Next up: Stockton 99 Speedway on April 18th.
