Results from the post race tire tests are in. After the 1st and 2nd place cars being disqualified for “samples that do not conform to the benchmark”, we are the winners of the $5000 to win Midwest Dirt Nationals at Paducah International Raceway. What a roller coaster that weekend was, from qualifying towards the back Friday, then to make up some spots in the heat to have a chance at a good run Saturday. After making some more changes Saturday, we knew we had a car that would be fast for 30 lap feature around a very fast track. Started 10th in the Feature to make up the 7 spots for a podium finish. After our tire tests came back good, we were declared the winner.
We’ve went about this year a little differently, trying to focus more on bigger shows. Traveling to tracks that we have no or very little track time. This has seemed to help grow our little team. We are coming off some good runs at these new tracks but none as big as this win. We are going to take this momentum and try to finish the remainder of our season strong.
Thanks to the people that support us in this journey. Whether you pull for us on FB or at the track. Thanks for showing up either way.
Thanks to the people whose name rides on the car with us. Absolutely could not do this without Johnny Phillips.
