Laycee Hogge Racing

Serving up some delicious food …. Some visit them at Langley Speedway

BE CAREFUL WHO YOU “HIGH-HAT” OR LOOK DOWN UPON IN RACING…

Because racing has a funny way of humbling people real fast.

That kid standing in the pits asking questions…

The family unloading an old beat-up trailer…

The rookie struggling to stay out of the way…

The driver getting laughed at for being too slow…

The team piecing together parts just trying to make the feature…

The one working out of a tiny garage while everyone else has shiny equipment…

The one showing up every week, taking notes, learning, and refusing to quit...

Might be the very person everyone is chasing a few years from now.

Too many people in racing judge someone based on where they currently are instead of where they’re headed.

They judge by equipment.

By sponsors.

By money.

By social circles.

By who has the nicest hauler, newest chassis, biggest trailer, or most expensive parts.

But they forget something important...

Every champion, car owner, chassis builder, crew chief, engine builder, fabricator, and race winner once got lapped too.

Nobody starts at the front.

Some people had money.

Some had help.

Some had connections.

But the ones with nothing more than a dream, grit, late nights in the shop, and enough determination to keep showing up after DNFs, wrecked race cars, criticism, heartbreak, and bad luck...

Those are usually the people everyone wants to know once they finally break through.

The people who make it furthest are not always the loudest.

Not always the richest.

Not always the most naturally talented.

It’s usually the ones humble enough to learn…

Hungry enough to improve…

And stubborn enough to keep unloading after everyone else would've quit.

Never forget…

Confidence and arrogance are two completely different things.

One inspires people.

The other tears them down.

Racing already has enough ego, gatekeeping, favoritism, and people trying to make others feel small.

What it needs more of is people willing to teach, encourage, help, and raise the standard together.

Because the same people you look down on today...

May become the people you one day race beside, buy parts from, learn from, work with... or stare at in victory lane.

Stay humble.

Stay teachable.

Keep working.

Dream BIG… NEVER QUIT. 🏁

It’s gonna be a gorgeous night for racing and an exciting race … 31 cars lined up and ready to gooooo

Amanda Gerdes Photography captures some of the best pictures!!! Since mom and dad are busy doing other things they forget to get photos ….

Not the night we were hoping for as we had some mechanical issues as soon as the race started ….buttttt after the events that took place after Laycee came in we realized it was a blessing in disguise as she probably would be ended up in the carnage of cars destroyed last night … 19 started and 9 finished in one piece
Glad the drivers are ok but some of these drivers have their work cut out for them for the next race on June 6th!!!

I know there were flared tempers last night after the race but things happen and it’s sometimes out of the drivers control …. No one intentionally wrecks another driver ….. when you have field that big it’s a mad rush ti race … at the end of the day these people are still human and they make mistakes … it happens

Going to a gorgeous day and a beautiful night under the lights grab you kids coolers and come on out for an action packed night of racing !!! Ucars are the 5th race which means it’s gonna be a long day but also an an amazing night
Green flag drops at 7pm !
