Ricky Bobby #51 Racing

BR week two recap: It was a hot one out there! Made progress all day, qualified 6th. Idk what happened to the rest of us in the heat race but Larkyn McNalley was on her game and drove that thing right to her first win. Congrats 👏 again! The feature race was a little strange, started off getting pushed, in turn pushing Josh Shaw to lead the start from the outside, then waiting for a caution after getting my driver door caved in in the middle of turn one, but it never happened. From there, I hammered down and had almost caught up with the field when the ⚠️ came out. After that, it was all about working on advancing and having the patience to do it. Ended up finishing 4th, with my best time of the day on the last lap. Now onto finding time to put it in the garage before next time. Race videos coming soon.

I'd like to thank my sponsors:

Hello there again, allot has happened over the last month in regard to actually making this a real thing. Been working like a dog trying to get in touch with anyone who would respond - and made significant progress. I secured 2 dates with 2 different tracks, and have been working on the 3rd at another track. Unfortunately, as of this evening, I got word from our main sponsor that they would only like to be involved if we stay local. Moving forward, I can say that something special will be happening at one of our local tracks for us trucks, details to be released at a later date; but I will not be giving up easily on trying to get us these races at these new tracks. Please understand that trying to go race somewhere new is not easy. One of the main reasons we were welcomed was because of our own funding; something which is not justified to a local company when we're racing hours away. My most sincere apologies for now, but not giving up. 🚫💯💪
