Last Winter Heat Race at Lowe's Motor Speedway

Well today wasn't quite what we were hoping for but it wasn't all bad... We thought it was going to be a GREAT day... Nick was first up with his first heat race and he WON... YEAH!!! But in tech he was too low coming across the scales due to a worn shock and they threw him out and he finished LAST. Zach was up next.. he finished 2nd in his heat race. Nick had to start the main event 28th, he had worked his way all the way up to 9th place and AGAIN... something broke and he was forced with another DNF. Zach had a much better finish... he finished 2nd!!!! We had FUN but I think we are ready for a BREAK!!! We will keep you updated on whats going on. Thanks for your support!

Friday...

Well... Practice went well so so today at Lowes. The trailing arm broke on Zach's car and they spent most of the afternoon fixing it. I guess it was much better for it to break today rather than tomorrow because he would have had to miss the race if it happened tomorrow. After they fixed the car, both boys were the quickest in their classes at practice today. (seems like we can always "WIN" PRACTICE but we have had BAD LUCK when it comes to the races. Hopefully our luck will change tomorrow. Nick WON the FIRST race of the WInter Heat... It sure would be GREAT for him to WIN the LAST. The last time that Zach broke a trailing arm in practice, he WON, so we have "HIGH HOPES"!!!! We will update our blog after the races tomorrow.
