‘Twas a beautiful day to let the horses run. We think the No. 63 KMI | THP Chevy and Dawson "DK" Cram are more than ready for the 📎.

From day one, Amanda Leach and I have always wanted to be an avenue for young talent with hopes that someday we would be able to watch one of them compete at the top level. Congrats to Bayley Currey. We now have more reason to watch this weekend ☺️

This weekend I will be making my first start in the Monster Energy Cup Series. Needless to say, I have a lot of people to thank for making this dream become a reality. This is going to get a little long, so please bear with me. Thank you Rick Ware Racing, Copp Motorsports, JP Motorsports, BJ McLeod Motorsports, Inc., Michael Harper and James Dent for believing in me and allowing me to gain the experience necessary. Thank you to all the sponsors along the way: John Alverson (Baja Manufacturing), Chasco Constructors, Johnny Walker (Walker Sport Fishing), Joe Hitzfeld (Evo Frac/Spyder Energy Services), Frank Gabrysch (Premier Minerals), Preferred Industrial Contractors, Inc., Hull Supply, Highway 290 Wrecker Service, Proteus Boat Lifts, Darren Ruston (Ruston Racing Development) and I am sure there are some others I am forgetting. I also need to thank God, my family, Josh Jones and Tommy Owen for always being there and cheering me on.

The Personal Comfort Chevy is all ready for NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series qualifying at 5:10 PM ET on FS1

Now we just sit and wait 🤗

A successful day in Vegas. We worked on the Personal Comfort Chevy to where Scott Stenzel Racing was comfortable. Here’s where we fared, respectfully:

Practice 1: p29
Practice 2: p28

Not much time to work on trucks when you need to be in Las Vegas on Thursday. Thankful for Dawson "DK" Cram help to get Billy L Gilbert on the road. Another week with empty 1/4 panels.

We struggled in practice. Hoping the adjustments made will help. We could use a little help from Mother Nature to make sure we get the race in today.

We’re waiting on practice at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Timmy Hill will wheel the No. 63 for us this weekend.

Just a few more minutes and the #63 will be on the track for the first truck series practice of 2019.

We are looking for a better season in 2019. Running our old SB2 motors has left us anywhere from 40-50 HP down from the competition. Combine that with some bad luck, and we learned just how REAL the sophomore slump really is!

With that said, we are still extremely proud of what we have accomplished and what we have as a family. Both working full-time jobs and with zero full-time employees in the shop, has left us to do almost everything ourselves. Although the results are not what we had hoped for, we continue to grow.

We successfully acquired additional equipment and made our trucks better and fast enough to make races / run competitively.

As we move into 2019 we hope to secure funds to elevate our engine program and secure Illmore engines.
We feel that this will allow us to go from a “B” level team to a serious contender moving forward.

BUT as you all know the engine program takes some cash, so we are looking for partner(s) to make it happen.
