Chris and Sonny headed to Donnellson to race in the Short Track Nationals

LANCASTER, MO (Aug 29) - Wednesday August 29 - Lee County Speedway - Donnellson, IA - Chris and Sonny headed to Donnellson to race in the Short Track Nationals on a day where it finally looked like it might not rain out the races. Chris lined up in the 3rd row of his heat race and was fighting for a spot in the redraw when a tangle in front of him blocked the track. Chris made hard contact with the front end of the car and ended up with a blown radiator and a bent up front bumper. The guys worked hard to repair the car and get it ready for the A-main. Chris lined up in the 21st starting spot for the 35 lap event. Chris took a couple of laps to sort out the car and then went to work moving forward. Chris raced hard throughout the race and with no cautions to help him was able to finish in the 10th spot and was knocking on the door of the 7th 8th and 9th place cars at the checkers. The car was very fast but we just had to start at the wrong end of the field.

This weekend, Chris will be heading south to race Mike Crump's mastersbilt GTO in a couple of events over 3 days. On Friday and Saturday we will be at the I-44 Speedway in Lebanon, MO for a $10,000 to win MARS/MLRA event. On Sunday September 2, we plan to head on down to the Monett Speedway in Monett, MO to compete in another MARS/MLRA event paying $3,000 to win. Let's hope for some better luck than we had on Wednesday so we can get the car to the front where it belongs!
