Not exactly the Kentucky Speed Week we had planned, thanks to Mother Nature, but we made the most of it running Friday at Ponderosa Speedway KY and Saturday at Florence Speedway.

The Pond
Hot Laps/Qualifying - 6️⃣
Heat - 3️⃣➡️2️⃣
Feature - 4️⃣➡️7️⃣
Great car all night, thought we had completely missed the set up for the feature - afterwards found a broken three wheel brake solenoid was to blame.

Florence
Hot Laps/Qualifying - 8️⃣
Heat - 1️⃣➡️1️⃣
Feature - 2️⃣➡️3️⃣
A solid rebound night with a podium finish. We would've liked to have made a few different changes for the feature, but overall a strong run.

Thank you Josh, Jay, Colton and Nathan Kennemore Racing for all the help. Thank you to my family, crew, sponsors, and everyone who supports me week in week out.

When multiple projects collide... 🏁🐝

Had to call in backup to get the #10 finished. Today, we’re reminded that both racing and beekeeping involve protective gear, questionable decisions, and getting stung if you make a mistake.

Weekend race recap coming as soon as everyone wakes up from Benadryl naps. 🥴

Race day and dollar day? Yes, please! 🏁

For the first time in over a month, it’s finally ! Mother Nature has finally relented and has given us a gorgeous Saturday for racing.

And it’s a big night here at Florence Speedway as we have one of our popular Dollar Days with $1 drinks, $1 food and $1 beers!

On track, the Ohio Thunder IMCA Racesaver Sprint Car Series is on hand as a part of a 5 division racing program.

Tickets are just $15 and kids 12 & under are free.

Get your tickets at the gate or online now at https://florencesp.webtix.co/events/720_June-13-Dollar-Days-Racesaver-Sprints

"It's been 84 years..." 🚢🌧️

..since we've seen a favorable race day forecast.

Thankfully, Mother Nature finally decided to cooperate, and Ponderosa Speedway KY is racing tonight! 🏁

We're loaded up, headed south, and ready to make up for all those lost laps.

📸 Shoutout to Independence Photography for a few more pics from last weekend at Richmond Raceway KY

Richmond Raceway KY recap 🏁

Hot Laps/Qualifying - 7️⃣
Heat - 4️⃣➡️3️⃣
Feature - 5️⃣➡️3️⃣

Unloaded with decent speed, and was able to move forward in both the heat and feature. Found a little extra late in the main to claim a spot on the podium. We'll take what we learned and get ready for the next one.

Thanks to Josh, Courtney, Jay, Robert and Jason for making the trip and all the help. Thank you to my family, crew, sponsors, and everyone who supports me week in week out -

Finally race day! And fan appreciation night at Richmond Raceway KY - FREE general admission. 🏁

𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝗗𝗔𝗬!
🟢𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗔𝗗𝗠𝗜𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡!

The good news: school’s out for summer. 😎🙌

The bad news: Mother Nature saw all of us racers getting excited and chose violence. 🌧🌧️

Region-wide rainouts mean I’m spending my first weekend of summer doing something unfamiliar: not racing.

Enjoy the weekend, remember those who made it possible, and we’ll be ready when the weather finally cooperates. 🇺🇸🏁
