That was defiantly one of the most entertaining weekends I’ve had in my life. Friday whatever we were trying didnt work at all. Im not even sure where I finished, I was just trying to keep the car together. Kept it in one piece, skip Saturday cuz it got rained out.

Today we got there early and finally hit on something. Qualified 4th for the first race was running in the top 3, had a issue and had to come down pit road. Not even sure where I finished for that

In the second race we were able to stay in the fight for the lead the whole time. The car was pretty much on point, just loose. It turns out my axle seal busted and was dumping gear oil all over my RR tire and brake. We were racing hard for the lead and got together, lost all my momentum and gained toe in. Somehow we were able to roll the car back in the trailer in one piece.

Overall very fun weekend, even though the circumstances were bad, Shenandoah Speedway and the Showdown Series did a great job of keeping everything going.

Huge thank you to Wesley Givens, after a month of trying stuff we finally hit on something at Shenandoah. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have been able to run like I did today. And thank you to Eli VP Racings crew for a extra hand with everything. We have Got some stuff thats most likely bent again, but I cant wait to get back out on track. Huge thank you to my partners for making racing possible

Yesterday was a interesting day to say the least 😅. First race back from being ontop of the wall at Pulaski, the car is not handling the way I need it to. But we finished the race in one piece and thats worth something. We arent going to give up, back at for twins tonight. Thank you to all our partners for making racing possible!

That was defiantly one of the races of all time. The car was on a rail all weekend, genuinely the best that car has handled since Franklin County last year. Got the pole and was running side by side for the lead and just a misjudgment happened and I ended up riding the wall. Drove to the pits my crew said it was fine, went back out and checked out for the rest of the race. Its nice to get another win sticker after riding the wall like that. Got some work to do to get the car back right but it should be good. Thank you to all my partners for making this possible!

We are getting somewhere at Shenandoah Speedway. We was decent in practice, ended up qualifying 6th. Was stuck around there for alot of the race. Had a couple of restarts and was able to get up to 3rd at one point, just the car was loose on corner exit so I wassnt able to keep it in 3rd. Ended up finishing 6th. Im pretty happy with that because we are making huge gains handling wise. Going to be back at Pulaski Friday night running twin 20s with the Smart Tour, it should be a good one! Of course thank you to my partners for making this all possible!
