Blake Banek Racing

We couldn’t have asked for a better way to end the 2023 season last night at Brookfield Speedway by parking the DAPRA, Blue Truck Wine and Liquor, Napa and Nimeys New Generation Cars #27 in victory lane!!! Thank you to all of our amazing sponsors who help make this possible. Thank you Travis and Ashley Welch/ Welch Motorsports for putting up some bonus money to win last night!

We will be heading down to the Brookfield Speedway tonight for our last race of the season. We will see if the young guys can make it happen tonight without our crew chief as he has prior work commitments. Good luck to Blakes older brother Logan and the entire New Hartford Spartans football team tonight! Thank you to everyone who has made this race season possible, DAPRA Milling solutions, Nimeys New Generation Cars, Napa and Blue Truck Wine and Liquor. This season we have received a huge amount of help and knowledge from a few very successful All Star drivers, Dan Slosek and Brett Putnam. Ranging from phone calls for advice right down to coming out to the shop to give us a hand. Thank you to everyone who played a hand in making this season happen.

Picked up the W tonight at Caroga Creek! Huge thank you to all of our sponsors who help make this happen, DAPRA Milling Solutions, Napa, Nimeys New Generation Cars and Blue Truck Wine and Liquor!

We are headed out to Caroga Creek tonight to hopefully turn our luck around. Hot laps are @ 6:30 with racing to follow. 📸: Kirsten Swartz

Happy Father’s Day to all of the racing dads out there but especially to the one who holds this team together!

Be sure to stop and see our friends at Blue Truck Wine & Liquor for the perfect Father’s Day gift!

Just in time for Father’s Day and Graduation! Golf Club full of Fireball shooters and a Pong Pack!

Friday is looking like a perfect day to do some racing. We are looking forward to getting back to our home track for the 3rd points race of the season.

We made the trip out to Brookfield Speedway tonight, ended our night early with a broken chain in the feature. Thank you to DAPRA Milling solutions, Nimeys New Generation Cars, Napa and Blue Truck Wine and Liquor for all of the support this season!

We struggled in qualifying last night at Utica Rome Speedway but managed to bring home a 5th place finish in the feature with a bent front axle. We will regroup and get the car ready for Brookfield Speedway next weekend. Thank you to all of our great sponsors who help make this happen for us!

Coming off of a strong 2nd place finish last Friday night at Caroga Creek we are looking forward to getting back to our home track at Utica Rome Speedway this Friday night!

With Utica Rome off this week, we are headed east to Caroga Creek Raceway with the DAPRA Milling Solutions, Blue Truck Wine and Liquor, Napa Auto Parts, Nimeys New Generation Cars #27!

The weather held off last night and we were able to get the DAPRA Milling Solutions, Napa auto parts, Blue Truck wine and liquor #27 on track for our first race of the season. The night started off strong for us with a heat race win but struggled in the feature. We will regroup and come back stronger next Friday night for the second points race. Thank you to all of our sponsors for making this happen!

Huge shout out to RLM Motorsports & Designs for the amazing job on the wrap for the 2023 season! Thank you to our amazing sponsors who help make all of this possible. Returning from last year are Nimeys New Generation Cars, Blue Truck Wine & Liquor and Napa. New on board with us this year is DAPRA Milling Solutions. Our first race of the year will be this coming Friday night at Utica-Rome Speedway. Hopefully we can start the year off strong and repeat last season!

The team made it out to Utica Rome Speedway last night for practice in the DAPRA Milling Solutions #27. All in all it was a decent night, the car ran and handled good. We just need to find a little bit more speed before the first race of the year. Thank you to all of our sponsors who help make this happen!

A little throwback to when it all started for Banek Racing. With support from Adrenaline Rush Racing Blake racked up multiple wins and championships between flat karts and champ karts. Over the years in karts we were lucky enough to meet some great people who were extremely helpful and supportive including Jeff and Kirsten Swartz, George Bark, Dougie and Artie from Adrenaline Rush plus all of the amazing sponsors that we have had. None of this would be possible without two of Blakes biggest supporters, his dad John and his brother Logan.

Just wanted to take the time to give a huge thank you to Brett Putnam for the help mounting the new body and all of the advice he has given the team over the last year. From setup advice to driving tips, he has been extremely helpful in every aspect. Good luck this year 6b!

Welcome to the Banek Racing page! Here you can find weekly updates from the track and info about upcoming races. There is a lot of work going on in the garage right now getting the #27 machine ready for the season. Our first time on the track for the 2023 season will be at Utica Rome Speedway for both practice sessions. Our plans for this season are to run Utica Rome to defend the championship and hit select races at Glen Ridge, Caroga Creek along with a few new tracks.
