When the Teacher (Dad) becomes the Student and the Racer (Blake) becomes the Teacher.

Craig took out Ashton's Kart to see what racing was like - this video shows Blake passing Craig and giving him a Peace Sign and then hand signals to "Follow Me". Then at the end Blake was letting Craig know about his driving skills.

** please note this is all in fun and these are words that have been said to Blake so Blake is poking fun at Craig, please watch the whole video so you can hear what Blake has to say at the end **

🏁 THAT’S A WRAP ON OUR TUESDAY NIGHT RACE SERIES! 🏁

What a season! This Tuesday night karting series has been AMAZING from start to finish!

And honestly… to think this is only my SECOND YEAR KARTING and I was lining up against drivers who have been doing this for YEARS… I’m pretty dang proud of what we accomplished! 💪

So let’s recap Tuesday night racing:

🏆 12 TOTAL RACES

🥇 4 FIRST PLACE FINISHES
🥈 3 SECOND PLACE FINISHES
🥉 1 THIRD PLACE FINISH
🏅 4 FOURTH PLACE FINISHES

And all of that adds up to…

🔥 SECOND PLACE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP! 🔥

P2 OVERALL! 🥈🏆

I’ve learned SO much this season — about racing, about myself, about pushing through tough nights, and most importantly, about never giving up when things don’t go exactly how you planned. Shout out to Cale for coaching me and giving me the advise and confidence in my driving abilities (Legacy Driver Development )

To say I’m BEYOND PROUD of myself would be an understatement. ❤️

But we’re not done yet…

🎯 NOW IT’S TIME TO LOCK IN.

The Tuesday championship is officially in the books, and now the focus shifts to the SATURDAY SERIES!

We’re chasing another championship. 🏆

LET’S RUN IT DOWN! 🔥🏁

I am so locked in on racing for the championship that I forgot to post my recap on Tuesday!

Heat 1: started on the pole so P1 -> P1

Heat 2: was inverted so I started In the back!
Drove my heart out and went from P14 -> P5

Feature: started P2 and was killing it - then I got passed with 2 laps to go and finished P2. 🥈

TONIGHT I am racing for the championship - wish me luck. But in the end if I take 1st or 2nd I have to remind myself this is only my 2nd year racing and I am doing really good job!

🏎️ CADET

Heat 1: P1 ➡️ P1
Throwing down the fastest lap and holding onto that top spot!

FEATURE: P2 ➡️ P1 🏆
LET’S GOOOOO! Made some clean passes, stayed focused and moved into P1 for the WIN! 🥇🔥

🏎️ MINI

Heat 1: P4
Not my best heat, but we shook it off and got back to work!

Heat 2: P4 ➡️ P3 💪

FEATURE: P3 ➡️ P2 🥈
After waiting out the rain, it was finally time to race! We took advantage of the opportunity and finished P2!

🏁 ROUTE 66 RACE RECAP — THE HIGHS, THE LOWS & EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN! 🏁

Sorry for the delay on this post. I needed a few days to process the really HIGH HIGHS… and then the crashing-down LOWS from this weekend. 😔

🏎️ SPORTSMAN

WHAT A CLASS OF TALENTED DRIVERS! 🔥

The top 5 karts in this class were QUICK, and I was determined to keep right up with them. I spent the race running around that P6 position, keeping my head in the game and pushing every lap.

I ended up finishing P7 out of 22 incredible drivers — and I was PUMPED! 💪

That was a HUGE accomplishment in such a competitive class, and I know I belong up there fighting with those guys!

🏎️ MICRO SWIFT

I absolutely LOVE racing this kart! ❤️

Sunday recap:

⚡️Warm Up — 2nd fastest kart in the class

🔥 Heat 2 — Running P3 and finished P3

🏁 Feature — I had P2 lap times and even laid down the fastest lap at one point! I just couldn’t get a good enough run around that P2 kart and ended up finishing P3.

And let me tell you… I WAS PUMPED! 🤩

P3 at Route 66 was HUGE! Last Route 66 race in this same kart, I finished P5. This year, I made some BIG improvements and was right there fighting for the top spots.

Then came THE LOW OF THE LOW. 💔

During tech, I was DQ’d because of the squish test — there was too much carbon buildup in my motor.

I WAS DEVASTATED.

It was especially tough because I knew how hard I had worked all weekend and how strong my driving had been. The squish test ended up being an issue for several drivers at the track this weekend, which made an already tough situation even harder.

I needed a few days to process it.

But after thinking about it, here’s what I KNOW:

I WORKED MY BUTT OFF.
I KILLED IT IN SPORTSMAN.
I KILLED IT IN MICRO.
I SHOWED THAT I CAN RUN WITH THE BEST.
AND I KNOW I HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE COMPETITIVE. 🔥

A DQ doesn’t erase the laps.
It doesn’t erase the speed.
It doesn’t erase the work.
And it definitely doesn’t erase the progress.

Sometimes racing gives you the biggest highs… followed by the hardest lessons.

And I’m going to take this one, learn from it, and come back HUNGRIER. 💪🏁

A HUGE thank you to everyone who helped make this weekend possible:

❤️ Coach Cale— thank you for your guidance and coaching! Legacy Driver Development

❤️ Mom & Dad — thank you for putting in all the work behind the scenes and making sure everything is ready to go every single weekend.

❤️ Grandma & Papa Learman, Aunt Gina, Uncle Jason & Ricky — thank you for coming out, watching and supporting me!

❤️ Eric — thank you for helping Dad with my Micro kart and making sure we had everything dialed in!

And finally, THANK YOU TO MY SPONSORS! 🙌

Without your support, I wouldn’t be able to travel to events like Route 66, get the coaching and continue chasing this dream.

This weekend wasn’t the finish I wanted…

But it showed me exactly what I’m capable of.

The fight continues. 🏁🔥
