Last night’s race had every emotion packed into one night, the kind of night that reminds you exactly why we show up, why these racers wrench, why we cheer, and why this track feels like home.
Juan Mejia #43 went out there in the U‑Car division and fought tooth and nail. He and #17 were locked in a battle that had everyone on their feet, clean, competitive, edge‑of‑your‑seat racing!! After all that intensity, Juan brought home a hard‑earned P4, and we couldn’t be prouder of the heart he showed out there.
AND then there was Deanna Stancill #9
Sixteen years old, years of grinding, learning, and pushing herself, and last night she proved exactly what that dedication looks like!! In the bomber division she didn’t just race… she claimed P1 like she was born for it. Watching her cross that line felt like watching a dream finally clicking into place.
Nathen #33, had a tough break near the end when some drivers got loose and he ended up catching the wall. It wasn’t the finish he deserved, but the grit he showed all night says everything about the racer he is.
And Kaleb #27, sometimes racing throws curveballs you can’t fight. Electrical issues shut his car down after practice, and he didn’t get the chance to run. But he’ll be back, stronger, louder, and ready to make that car scream again.
Through the highs, the heartbreaks, the victories, and the chaos…
it was a fun night of racing with our people.
And honestly, nights like these are what make it all worth it. 🏁🏎️🏁🏎️
