Thank you!!

In honor of race day, we’d like to announce NEW merch coming soon with tons of new looks and options featuring your favorite Black’d Out drivers including some new members. Thank you to Chavez A1 for all of your home fix-it projects, TTP nutrition so you can “get gritty” with some great pre-workouts, Titan Machinery, R Bar and Grill Waterloo for Summer time good with a new food menu with your old favorites, and Densberger Shine if you’re feeling in the mood to get a little southern. Thanks to Capital Signs for new custom graphics, Krug Prep for all the right formulas, CiShirts for the new upcoming team store, as well as Quick Service, Hoffman Racing, and Cary Childs for the family support.

There are so many pieces to this team. The people, the supporters, the families, and the history. I never cared about racing. I definitely never thought I’d be involved with racing. But every week, the garage is full, the family budget considers what races are coming up and what parts need to be bought, and I consider what food needs to be bought to go out of town. Being a part of this racing family makes a person feel welcome, appreciated, and home. Everyone shows up for each other whether it’s 2pm on a Tuesday or at 5am Sunday morning. The next generation coming up has amazing people to look up to. And the people they are looking up to did the same of the generations before them. Congrats to the wins so far this season and the many more to come. The memories far outweigh the cost and I feel privileged to get to witness it as well as grateful my daughter now gets to be a part of it. Love you guys! - Ashley A.

Well it's been a while since our latest release. We have plenty to come so stay tuned! This post is strictly directed toward a magical weekend. Factory pilot Jake Hoffman jumps back behind the wheel to sweep the weekend!

May 22nd of 2019 the racing world gained another angel. Jimmy Grasso was a once in a life time talent and friend to Jake for many years. Jake pulled out some old bodywork to return a Jimmy inspired color scheme to the track!

In true form the colors were first represented at what would be considered Jimmy's home track eagle raceway to take on Mini 'E' and concore in true Jimmy form. Jake battled the set up all day but tops the podium in the main event! Capturing his first feature win of the season.

The buck doesn't stop there as Jake entered his purple and green #60 in the second race of the season Sunday at Blue River Raceway to capture another 1st place finish!

All of us here at Black'd Out Racing are happy to honor Jimmy Grasso and keep a racing legend and dear friend in victory lane not only this weekend but for a lifetime. We miss you! We love you! Keep on jammin!

Thank you to all our sponsors! First and foremost on the 60 machine R BAR for all your support in making these dreams and memories a reality for the team!

"The boys were back in town" Wakeeny kansas that is for the NeKan Series race. After several cancelations or reschedulings we were able to hit the track once again.

Factory pilot Jake Hoffman #60 picks up right where he left off. He continues dominating the series picking up another win and stretching that lead in the points standings. Hoffman led flag to flag with as big of a lead as half a lap between cautions that delayed the actiin. The whole team managed to run 1,2,3 for a good portion of the feature till BJ Childs #02 fighting an I'll handling kart and lacking the overall speed dropped a few positions after what would be our last restart with 5ish laps remaining. Hats off to him holding his own for a long as he did. We will continue to dig and make him faster yet. Cameron Childs in the 01 ran a distant second to the dominant Hoffman who was on rails all day.

Thank you to wakeeny staff and officials for a fantastic race surface and amazing facility. We managed to stay cool enough through the early parts of the day in 102° weather to have a beautiful cool evening of features.

Thank you to all friends and family of those around the team for your constant support and allowing us to keep showing up to these races! This sport has been a generational passion for these families of the team and brings our drivers great joy to still be in the hunt for great finishes.

The final show of the NeKan Series will be this weekend 8-20 at Tuxedo park in Crete, Ne. This will be a double show in sorts to complete the rest of the previously rained out first race of the series. More info in pictures to follow. Hope to see some familiar faces come out and watch the action.
