HBA Racing

Hi everyone, HBA Racing is still around, and will be updating everyone on all the racing for the past month. A lot to catch up on. We had gotten really sick right after our last race for 3 weeks and sure enough we had heard about the tragic loss of Kyle Busch. My ❤️ heart broke on many different levels especially the father and son relationship. I saw the Brexton and Kyle Busch about 6 months in Las Vegas were to compete against each other in Legend Cars. The event was know as Battle of the Busches. I shook Kyle and his son hand in passing through the pits as I was near them. And simply talked about being a father watching his son race. Extremely proud dad to say the least. I saw a calm Kyle Busch enjoying his old stomping grounds. The YouTube video link below captures another side of the day. I didn’t see the Kyle Busch Rowdiness that he’s know for but saw the father mentoring his son and making moments for his family. When the Charlotte NASCAR Race was on tv, my heart just stopped to see Brexton with his shirt on from Las Vegas battling his dad. I saw a boy lose his hero and now on the world stage hold it together for his mom and sister as bag pipes played from the Charlotte Fire Dept We have had many close friends race Kyle Busch in his younger years in Las Vegas. A lot of stories and irony as Kyle Busch also passed away on the same day as Spencer Clark his biggest rival growing up. The world is small my friends, in the fire service I would say things change in a blink of an eye, enjoy what matters most and make it count. God Bless this family and I pray and hope Brexton keeps racing in the near future when he’s ready, as will be cheering him on every step of the way!!

Recap 4/11/2026 Main Feature. A lot on this post. Broxton raced his heart out. He ran 19.538 with 22 cars for traffic. He did everything we asked him to do from the start. Broxton started off in 10th place from his qualifier due to him not running qualifying and wanting to race people. But the Dash Rave got his head back in the game and he raced hard coming in 8th. The race had some controversy to say the least towards the end. During our driver meeting we were told all cautions would be single file and no doubling up. Simple as that. Well the Tower changed it up out of nowhere, and did a high low lane option on a caution. It confused everyone as parents knowing what was said at the driver meeting and the control tower did a 180. Drivers in the rear of the pack were able to move up in the field on the outer lane before the restart on the caution. The tower never communicated this over the radio to any of the drivers or spotters and a cone was put out there for racer interpretation. 16 out of the 22 cars held their inner single formation lane while 6 cars took advantage. To say it pi**ed off a lot of parents is the least I can say. You had good racing going on up front and the tower decided to change things with 5 laps to go. I’ll say this 1) as a retired fireman I have seen children hurt. In unimaginable ways. Kids that are new we don’t want on the outside lane or they’re going to get hurt with the faster racers, simple as that. We had a prior race with 6 spin outs and real close calls. 2) why have qualifying? If you can be awarded back to an unearned spot that you didn’t earn in racing… I saw Broxton and Jeff race hard, for 7th and Jeff is ranked number 3 currently in overall points. Respecting positions and not taking advantage of tower mishap is something we strive on. If your in front of us when the caution happens where going to respect that a race team and not take a freebee.. we have to much character and pride and rather earn our spots with quality racing.

Recap 04/11/2026 Dash Car.. 6 cars.. 6 laps… Broxton had a rough practice/qualifier as instead of racing for qualifying time he decided to race another car which made him run wide… I just shook my head.. So dad said I’m throwing you in a Dash Race to clear your head before the Main Feature….My Plan Now. I’m going to set you up fast and where going to shave a lot of time down by a few hundreds of a second. Trust the car and trust me, it will hold, run my lanes… the result speak for themselves, he ran fast. Beau who we admire and ran ahead of Broxton, runs #1 a lot of times and has a faster setup due to experience then Broxton but where getting there with every race weekend!!! ❤️
