Thunderstruck Racing

Some action shots of passes.

Rylan and his teammates watching one of their coaches turning laps in a super late model at Hickory Motor Speedway

🏁 Learning Doesn't Stop When the Helmet Comes Off 🏁

One of the coolest moments at the track is watching these three young drivers standing together, eyes locked on the track, cheering on their coach.

Sometimes the best lessons don't happen during practice—they happen from the sidelines. Watching your coach race teaches race craft, patience, line selection, consistency, and the determination it takes to compete at a high level.

These kids aren't just watching laps...they're studying every move, asking questions, and soaking up knowledge they can take with them the next time they climb into their own race cars.

Moments like these remind us that racing is about so much more than checkered flags. It's about mentorship, learning, and inspiring the next generation.

Keep dreaming, keep learning, and keep chasing those checkered flags. Your time is coming! 🏁❤️

We are now at Hickory Motor Speedway supporting the Redhead late model. Jacob who helps turn the wrenches on the teams Bandos, is now testing his Redhead super late model ride.

Rylan did a great job working traffic and getting in there racing. Tire marks on the car show close racing was. Made a 5th place run against some of the best kids in the country and fastest times he has turned yet at Charlotte.

Finished 5th and again the fastest laps he has turned a Charlotte

18 cars. Qualified 8th and in the A main!

Some great shots of last nights practice. Thank you Glen Alan for the amazing pics.
