Turning Right at NHMS

The Amsoil Nelcar Legends Tour hit the road course at NHMS with some sharp rights last Sunday during Vintage Celebration week.  This was the first of two road course races of the season and the first ever road course race for Matt who finished 13th.

Beech Ridge day ends early

We had a tough day at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on April 30.   The  rear axle housing on the #8 cracked during practice.  After scrambling to try to get it welded in the pit area, it turned out the crack was bad enough where it wasn't able to be fixed at the track. Special thanks to Todd Beaulieu, Bob Weymouth, Darren Johnson, and the Timmons race team for helping us try to salvage the day.
