It’s the end of the 2026 racing season. Zach said wreckers or checkers…we wish we didn’t have the wrecker, but that seems to be Zach’s luck (or lack thereof) this year.

Zach was in the 1st heat for qualifying. He was starting in the back. As he was trying to go outside of a car, some unfortunate contact moved him right up into the backstretch wall. Cue the wrecker:(

Owen was in the 2nd heat and he finished 1st!! 🏁 It was nice to see a smile when he got out of the car!

There was some interesting end of the year racing while we waited for the limited late model race. Owen started in 2nd and Zach started 9th due to the wreck in qualifying. Zach was moving along and trying to pass on the outside…guess what? Unfortunate contact put him up into the same wall. After that cars were spun in 3 and 4 and the damage ended Zach’s night.

Being the awesome brother he is, he grabbed the headset from Bob and spotted for Owen. He did a fabulous job and Owen held on for a 3rd place podium finish!!! Way to go!!!

Thank you to everyone that supported the boys at the track this year. It means so much!!

Thank you to Lightning Chassis and the sponsors that get Zach and Owen to the track!

A super special thank you to the incomparable Miss Em's for her fantastic photos, her love of this sport and for always making us smile:)

Saturday racing began with a beautiful tribute to first responders in honor of 9/11. Never forget! Thanks to Randy for coordinating this beautiful tribute. This team is especially proud of Zachary and Owen for their work with the Northfield Fire Department!! Thank you to all first responders, especially these young people who train hard to support their community!

The limited late models were the last race of the night. It felt like Fall for sure and it was cold. Zach had a 5th place finish and Owen had a 8th place finish.

Thank you to Lightning Chassis and the sponsors that get Zach and Owen to the track!

No qualifying tonight to try and beat the weather. It was a successful decision! The crew threw all they could at the car and picked the brain of other teams. Special thanks to Paul and Mike for their help:) Owen finished in 6th with more lessons learned and some ideas for what to try next:)

Thank you to Lightning Chassis and the sponsors that get Owen to the track!

Saturday night at the races brought cooler temperatures and two drivers feeling like their cars are finally coming together.
The Limited Late Model brought a fair number of cautions that led to single file restarts. Zach was racing with confidence we have not seen this year. It was certainly a nail biter!! He had just completed a pass for 2nd when the caution came out. He finished in 3rd, but he drove a heck of a race!! He crushed two outside starts! Way to go Zach!! Owen finished in 9th, but that is not indicative of the improvement he had in his car. Unfortunate contact resulted in a flat. Mom, Dad, Bob and part of the Lightning Chassis crew made a very speedy tire change! Way to go guys!! Always proud of these boys for their determination, willingness to work and the way they learn every week.

Thank you to Lightning Chassis and the sponsor that get Zach and Owen to the track!

Zach and Owen ran the Triple Crown race and they went green to checkered! Zach was 4th and Owen was 8th.

The crew executed the quickest clutch removal of the top 5 and had a lot of help pushing the car back and loading it up! Even Remy helped;)

The boys have a week off and will be spectators this coming weekend. See you all in a couple weeks:)

Thank you to Lightning Chassis and the sponsor that get Zach and Owen to the track!

"We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails." — Dolly Parton

The weather tried to cancel the races, but Monadnock skipped qualifying and moved to features only. Fortunately they still held the backpack giveaway for all the students preparing for a new school year. Zach and Owen delivered their donations and hope all the children in the stands got a backpack they love!

Zach started 2nd and Owen started 7th. Zach was able to get down before a shuffle and settled in behind the 10 for a couple laps. He got a great run and was able to pass for the lead!! Zach ran 1st for quite a few laps with the 91 right behind him. They had a great race, but the 91 got under him and the 45 went with him. Zach brought the 7z home in 3rd which felt like a win!!! Great driving Zachary!!! Owen’s car was loose to start but it started to come together later in the race. He finished in 7th. We hope this is a start of having a better handling car and look for him to make even more improvements!

“Keep calm and carry on!”

Thank you to Lightning Chassis and the sponsor that get Zach and Owen to the track!

It was a warm 4th of July at the races, but the temperature improved as the night went on. Zach was towed off the track in practice…not exactly how you want to start the night… The crew pulled together and fixed the car to get it ready for qualifying. It’s crazy that they spend time fixing one thing on the car to have something else go wrong. It’s been that kind of year for Zach. The track was slick and Owen needed to make some adjustments to his car. They had qualifying with all 10 cars. It started to rain when the cars went out, but they tried to start the race in the rain. That was short lived because race cars don’t have windshield wipers;) A short rain delay took place and they had the Pure Stocks head out before finishing qualifying for the limited late models. Zach fared better than Owen, but both cars were in one piece for the feature. Thanks to Paul for jumping in to spot for Owen for qualifying!
They headed out for the feature…both on the outside. Zach held out there as long as he could and then got shuffled. He worked his way up to 5th after the shuffle. Owen finished in 8th. He had Dad as a spotter for the feature! It’s back to the drawing board for set up, but hopefully they will find the magic next week for his birthday!!

Both cars are in one piece and heading home. They even let Uncle Bob drive them tonight…(just to load them in the trailers);)😜

Thank you to the sponsors that get Zach and Owen to the races and to Lighting Chassis!! 🏁

It was nice to have Zach’s car back at Monadnock. There is still work to be done, but Zach is bringing his car home in one piece and Owen had a strong 5th place finish! Hopefully they can dial it in next week!

Thank you to the Lightning Chassis crew and the sponsors that get Zach and Owen to the races!! 🏁

Another Saturday night at the races! The highlight of my evening was strawberry shortcake, but Owen did race tonight! He was loose in qualifying and it was not perfect for the race. Owen did the best he could and the car is coming home in one piece with a 6th place! Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there!!

Thank you to the Lightning Chassis crew!
