No qualifying and no heat races this week since rain
was on the way. This meant that Brandon had to line up
on his average time of the season with was starting 5th in
the semi. He got up to 4th when he took an extremely hard
hit from behind going into turn three. It sent him high and
pushed him back to 5th. He raced hard to get his position
back but didn't make it and ended his night. Hope to see you
next week for the final week of racing!!!

Brandon qualified with a very good time but he still missed
the feature by three cars. He raced good in the semi to
transfer to the feature and hung in there for a 13th place
finish. This Thursday also concluded the Triple Crown Series
where Brandon ended up 16th in points. Haylie had great night with her Big Wheel races. She finally
won her race and received a trophy and a checkered flag. Way
to go, Haylie!!!!!

Well, we didn't keep the momentum going. Brandon did
good in his heat race for a 4th place finish and was working
his way through the field in the semi when he took a hit
that caused a flat tire and ended his night. No other damage
occurred so just some minor work this week to get ready to
race again. Even Haylie is getting ready to race her Big
Wheel!!!!

Brandon had a great night of racing. He qualified good
but missed the feature by one car. He started and finished
second in his heat race and finished third in the semi to
transfer to the feature. He had a clean feature race for a
15th place finish. It was once again a good, clean, safe
night of racing. Brandon and the crew will be doing some
minor adjustments to the car this week and will be back next
Thursday to keep the momentum going.

After two weeks of rain, flooding and no races, we were
ready to get on the track. Brandon was a little loose in
qualifying so he ended up with a bad time. He raced hard in
his heat race for a 4th place finish and tried as hard as he
could to transfer in the feature but didn't make it. All in
all, he had a good, safe night of racing. Hope to see you
next week!!!!

After a long week of fixing the car to get it race
ready, Brandon turned good qualifying laps but not fast
enough for the feature. He placed 7th in his heat race and
was running good in the semi when he was spun out again
which made him start in the back for the re-start. He raced
hard with a wrecked car to try to get back up in the top
four so he could transfer to the feature but ended up 7th.
Work on the car has begun again to fix it for next Thursday.
Bring the kids out for the coin drop and hope to see you
there!!!!

The car had some vibrations in hot laps so the crew fixed
it the best they could for qualifying and finished repairing it for the
heat race. With having qualified a little slower because of car
problems, he was in the first heat but had a top five finish. He also
had to start in the semi to transfer to the feature but he took a hard
hit on the first lap which caused his axle to break and fall off and
then send him into the wall hard. The wrecker took him and car back to
the trailer. We had a difficult time getting it off the trailer but we
managed and car repairs are under way so will be out there next week.
Come and enjoy the fireworks!!!!
June 19, 2008
We finally got a nice night of racing in!! The track had a
computer problem so the Super Stock division picked numbers
instead of qualifying. Brandon ended up in the second heat
and finished 4th which transferred him to the feature. He
had a strong run in the feature and took the checkered flag
for a 13th place finish. All in all, he had a good night.
Car is still working good and looking great and Brandon
moved up to 10th in the point standings.
It was also big wheel races and our 4 year old daughter, Haylie,
took a very close second in her race. She's looking forward to the next
race in August.
Hope to see you at the track next week!!!!!

Throughout the week, the crew fixed the body damage and
Brandon changed some spark plugs. He went out to qualify
10th quickest, which put him in the second heat race. He
started 7th of 8 cars in the heat and got up to about 4th
when he got loose coming out of turn two. He ended the race
in 6th. He started the feature on the outside pole and got
to the inside as fast as he could and stayed in 5th until a
caution in lap 14. He
re-started 7th and stayed there for a strong top ten finish.
Brandon had some of his fastest lap times of his racing
career and is very excited to keep the momentum going.
Stop out and check out the excitement and don’t forget to
see us in the pits!!

First off, we would like to thank Guaranteed Realty Group for stopping
out and showing your support on our first night
of racing! Thanks guys, hope we made you proud!
Brandon had a good night of racing. He qualified for the feature, took
third in his heat race and after a very interesting feature
race ended up 13th after taking a hit that spun him out. He
sustained minor cosmetic damage to the front and rear
bumpers so the crew will be working on that this week to
make sure we are ready to go for next Thursday. We can only
hope that the weather will be a little warmer!!!
Don’t’ forget to visit us in the pits to say hi to Brandon and get
his autograph. We also have Manderfield’s cookies and a
bunch of goodies from GSF Mortgage.
Hope to see you
next week!!
