I can't believe how fast the past 13 days have gone by! Tonight we raced at Interstate Speedway -SD started 8th in the heat race with P1 finish! In our main event we started 10th because of points and slowly worked our way to a P1 finish! Shelby and Chase are doing an amazing job at promoting and fixing thier track! We look forward to coming back!

We can not thank our sponsors enough for all the help in getting us here to race!

We will be home and our shop will be back open for business on Wednesday!

I have the best crew and they busted their butts! Thank you to Rip, Trevor and Zachary Madrid for making this trip so much fun and so successful! I am ready to be back home!!!

The last 3 years Zachary has been a part or our Rip's Performance Race & Driveshafts Home of Southwest Race Cars team! What you see on the track is young man with an amazing talent to drive a race car! In his short 9 year career Zachary has won 6 different Championships in 4 different classes.

Great weekend of racing at Central Arizona Raceway. Zachary Madrid Racing, Tyler Vache Racing #421, and Madrid Racing donated 5 bikes and gave away about 250 Easter Eggs. It was a great time meeting and seeing all the kids on the front straight. There is nothing like it. We had one new fan Mason come by and wanted to sit in the 5M. Tyler had another solid night of racing with a P5 in his main, Andy Clower went from P19 to P2, Rex Hasley had a great run starting P24 to P6. Chuck Grohnke made his main event with a P12 in his Modified, While in our car Chris McCurdy Sr. ran a hell of a race with a P6 and Zachary Madrid was on fire with a P1!! No racing next weekend but we will be back at it at the shop on Monday Morning!

Thank you for supporting our small business. I have the BEST crew at our shop. Need Driveshaft work? We have the best in the business, Need Differential work? We do that too. Need setup help? body work? chassis work? bumpers? repairs? We do that too!!

I could not do this without Rip, Trevor, Zachary and Billy.

Hope you have a great week!! We are here for all your racing needs

We all know the sport we love has it's dangers. When you see a video like this it takes your breath away. This was at our local track this weekend and we are so glad that the driver Bud Marshall of the the 124 pure stock and flag man Kyler Repella Motorsports LLC both walked away! The car did it's job and the flagstand did his.

Please make sure to check and double check all your safety equipment on your racecars every week. Over looking one small thing can make the difference!
