Ehhh.....that'll Buff out! No big deal.... just a peice of aluminum!
2nd track (Peru) , 2nd race night out for 2026 , 2nd race of the evening (A main), onto the 2nd Nose wing of the year for tonight , the 2nd race at U.S. 24 speedway for us.....
Seger had a good, Fairly clean night of racing for his 1st time at Miami county, with a couple things to work on.
We started 9th in the A main after following a car with an ill running engine towards the end of the heat race, for a just a little bit too long....otherwise it was a good heat race for him getting his feet wet , at only the 2nd track he's raced a micro at to date.
He settled in for the long haul fairly quickly in the A main, until a red flag stopped the field on lap 7.
As the cars refired, there were a couple cars who needed a bit of help refiring......unfortunately Seger was the odd man out and couldn't get it to refire.....and even though he wasn't the cause of the caution, for some reason had to go to the back, for the restart, after needing help to get going again...
Learning , we still are, and he took it in stride and moved on, restarting last in a now shortened field of cars.
Sometimes when you have to go to the back, it's quite possible you put yourself in harms way with alot more cars in front of you , and that proved to be factual last night , as when the next caution came, Seger was on the tail of another car that slowed very quickly, making contact unavoidable, and Seger jumped his left rear , catapulted over the left side of his car, bringing a bit of damage to the nose of his car for the remainder of the event.
No big deal, as it didn't get any worse than that, and we rolled it in the trailer again, which is still a big positive, for this budget team , looking to get laps, experience, gain speed , and respect every night, on our way to being more and more comfortable and competitive each night out!
After the red flag he would have restarted 7th, which would have been great , to try and fight towards a top 5 result, but it wasn't meant to be I suppose!
In the end, Seger was credited with an 11th place finish, which didn't quite describe how competitive he was in both the heat race and A main.
There were a couple good passes on the high side, and even A 3 wide pass on the high side at one point in the night for Seger, which showed an expanding comfort level that every driver needs in order to fight towards the front!
On to U.S. 24 we go tonight!
Thanks to the wood family for giving us 2 great racetracks in Indiana to race at, and thankfully they now run different nights, so we can all benefit!
Come out and back the BLUE tonight!
