Last night we rolled into Tyler County Speedway for the makeup Working Man's Championship with 25 cars signed in and a stacked field of competition.
To say the night started rough would be an understatement. We qualified 19th out of 25 after fighting a major fuel supply issue that had us scratching our heads. Huge thanks to Corey Galbreath, Thomas Sigler, and Josh Sigler for jumping in to help diagnose the problem. Thomas raised the float level a little, and that adjustment helped us get the jump we needed in our heat race. We charged our way into 3rd and locked ourselves into the big dance.
Still not satisfied, we kept digging between races. With Josh Sigler's help, we finally found the culprit... the fuel filter was installed backwards. Sometimes racing will humble you with the simplest things!
We rolled off 13th for the feature feeling like we had something for them. Unfortunately, before we could really get going, a driver decided he was going to win the race on the first lap and it triggered a pileup that we simply had nowhere to go. The damage ended our night and handed us our first DNF of the season, leaving us with a 16th-place finish.
That's racing. Some nights you're the windshield, some nights you're the bug. While the results weren't what we wanted, we're proud of the effort it took to overcome the issues and race our way into the feature after such a rough start.
Congratulations to Kendall Hodge on picking up the victory and the bonus money. Also hats off to the track crew for providing a good surface for us with all the rain we have had.
We'll get this thing fixed up, put this one behind us, and get ready for the next battle. The working-class race team grind never stops.
As always, thank you to our sponsors, family, friends, and fans for sticking with us through the highs and lows.
