🏁⚡️Jr Honda⚡️🏁
RJ took home yet another 1st place finish in the jr honda dirt national! He now has not 1, not 2, but THREE dirt national wins since his racing career started! we are soo incredibly proud of you buddy after going to the back and racing up to the front !

Though we have ALOT to celebrate and be happy for, I feel robbed of our last 2 races.

•Jr Animal•

RJ worked HARD to get from the C up to compete in the A in jr animal only to be collateral damage. Bent his axel right off the start and had to race with a car he could barely steer all 25 laps of the race. He drove his butt off and did what he could with what he had to work with! We appreciate everyone who helped him get back on the track and who helped fix it after the race!
we have to give a shoutout to our good friend Durbin Racing on his podium finish!! 🙌🏼
SOO proud of you B!

•Jr 160•

Started out even worse than the animal. Was hit by another car coming out of the hot schute and knocked the chain off. Fixed it, went to the back out and yet again, we were collateral damage in lap 1 of the race. This time the axel snapped completely in half and no way to go back out to compete. Our night ended there.

Again, I know we have a lot to celebrate with our driver and we are incredibly proud of him and his clean driving these weekend! We’ll keep pushing from here and keep chasing checkers! 🏁🚦⚡️
