Michael Fanelli Motorsports

Ran Aztec Speedway Saturday night.

Heat 1st ➡️ 1st
Main 2nd ➡️ 4th

I just missed it on the dry slick track that eventually took rubber. Frustrating race, felt like we had a good car from the heat. Main started off good but after a red and a yellow I had a hard time getting back in my grove.

So happy to get the win last night at Vado Speedway Park!

Heat 1st ➡️ 1st
Main 4th ➡️ 1st

Got to the 3rd right away on the start. Our car came alive about halfway. Reeled the leaders back in. Thanks to the technical track I was able to grab moisture out of turn 4 and get the lead! Caution came out with 2 to go. Got a good launch and brought it home!

What a weekend! Qualified 10 of 21 for the Open Wheel Showdown. With a 10 invert that put us starting on the pole of the 40 lap main event for ten thousand dollars!

I knew I had some fast guys coming behind. I held my own as long as I could. Led the first couple laps which is a memory I will hold onto forever! Was shuffled back to 3rd and was clicking laps away. Caution flew and the car started to develop a fuel issue. Struggled on take offs and didn’t run as clean and crisp as earlier in the race. After the restart I fell back to 8th. Another caution flew a few laps later, that’s when the fuel issue worsened. Once we took the green to resume racing, the motor wouldn’t stop stumbling. I quickly dropped to the back of the field. I ran about a lap and a half hoping it would clear and it did not. Pulled into the infield for a 16th place DNF.

We definitely had more speed than our result, but that’s racing unfortunately.

Can’t say thank you enough to my Dad and John Mcgerigle. As our friends in Italy would say “grazie mille!” Without them this weekend would of never been possible. Thanks to my buddy Michael Turner JR for all his help in the pits this weekend. It was great to see you!

Many more thank you’s to Atlas Pumping, Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Tiffany Fanelli, Ortega’s Appliance, Marty Saiz State Farm Insurance, Hal Burns Truck and RV, Amsoil, Hash House A Go Go, and Helix Electric for all their support to make this weekend possible!

Saturday started 5th in the heat finished 4th. That put us starting 11th in the main on a another tricky track in turns 1&2 having to hug the tires while turns 3 & 4 was up on the fence. Worked up to 3rd but missing the bottom in turns 1 & 2 one lap, and a few laps later having a get on the brakes in turns 3 & 4 to avoid a car that got into the wall. Was in 8th going into the last corner. Threw a big slider cleared two cars and crossed the line in 6th.

Started 8th in the heat this past Saturday in Vado finished 7th track greasy and hard to pass. That put us rolling off 12th in the main event took me some time to get line figured out then we started picking people off. Was up to 5th on the final restart with two laps to go, stayed committed to the top side received a big slider had to lift and not enough grip to exacute the crossover. Crossed the finish line in 6th place definitely had more speed then that but we’ll try again in a few weeks. Big thank you to the Oldfield family for loaning us their four wheeler well ours is out of commission.
