Late update:

These last few weeks have been very busy. I had a few days off and was able to race 8/22 at Shelby County Speedway. Should’ve left the season off on a good note, but a racer has a hard time saying no to racing.

❗️First Feature- Bought into the race and started at the tail. We moved up into the top 10, until a pile up occurred after a restart. Had no where to go and got ran into from behind as well.

The bumper brackets did their job and broke clean off, saving the frame. The rest was either front suspension, that we replaced, or body work. We spent the whole night bringing something that looked like a full sized paper weight, back to race ready.

❗️After missing the heat race, we made it out for the second feature. The car felt really good for the first few laps until my right rear tire started going down and finally blew to pieces.

It was one of those nights. My Dad, Sam, Nick, and I busted ass all night getting this thing ready, unfortunately luck had another thing in mind.

As of now, we’re thinking this is the end of the racing season for this year.

Shelby County Speedway 8-1

Heat Race: 1st 👉 1st

Feature: 1st 👉 3rd

We gave it our all last night! Really wanted to get one more before leaving for training, but we came up a little short. Led a little less than half the race until a yellow came out for a cell phone being on the track, which bundled everyone back up.

Cell phone or not, it was a matter of time before I knew I’d see 76 and 36 on the leaderboard behind me!

Congrats to Zach Zeitner on the win! It was fun racing my buddy Drew too while it lasted.

There are a lot of guys that keep grinding just to get one win. Really, with the competition we have out there at Harlan, it’s very humbling to have two wins. Can’t say thank you enough to everyone that has helped through the years. From sponsors, to other racers, to my crew, thank you. Hopefully we’re not done for this year, but we’ll let everyone know!

Happy early birthday to my brothers as well! Big 21 on Monday.

Have been really behind on posting.

We’ve gone back to the drawing board and put the car back to something that should be good.

Our last race at Norfolk doesn’t look good on paper, but I was happy with direction we’re going. We started near the back, and after a night full of hammer down racing with no passing, finished at the back. Was tired of running follow the leader so I tried high and drove her to the back.

❗️Our next race is this Saturday at Shelby County Speedway. It’s going to be my last race for a while, as pilot training is bringing me away from Nebraska. We’ll update everyone on the hit and miss races we get to!

Thank you to everyone that helps us out

Coulda, shoulda at Shelby County Speedway Harlan, Iowa

🏁Heat race- 3rd👉3rd

🏁Feature 3rd👉eventually DNF

Started 3rd and eventually got to first, before falling back to third, right as another caution came out. Definitely a caution filled race. Needed to restart on the inside and then jump to the outside.

❗️Another restart led to a slider for the lead right in front of me. The leader had to get on the brakes and spun out, leaving us with nowhere to go. I got hit on the right side and thought it was going to be ugly. Pulled in the hotpit to evaluate (thinking suspension had to be tore up) and to pull the body back.

Unfortunately after going to the hot pit, you don’t get your spot back. Wish I would’ve stayed out and tried having the track crew pull the body out, but with the right side door pushed against the frame, I thought bringing it to the hot pit was safest.

Definitely sucks as the races are winding down before leaving for pilot training for a little while. I thought we had a good chance last night, but it wasn’t meant to be.

Recap of the last few weeks of racing:

This past weekend we raced at Shelby County Speedway.

Heat: 2nd 👉 2nd
Feature: 5th 👉 3rd

Messed up early on and fell back a few spots and tried our best to make headway in the rubber!

April 25th
Feature: 11th 👉 DNF

Rubber racing racing incident led to not finishing. After the night we found that the motor was hurt too.

All in all we’ve been trying to figure out these new shocks and dial this thing in! We have the spare motor back in and hoping to get the original fixed eventually.

Can’t thank everyone enough that helps us make this possible:

❗️Update❗️
We’re getting closer on finishing the car and will try to make one of the races in the near future.

📆 We are working on a schedule and will try to be out as much as we can! Jack may be busy later in the year with flying related things, but the plan is to get after it as much as we can before then.

We’ll keep everyone posted!
