Team 28 Racing

As Night 2 of the Fall Classic is getting ready to kick off, I decided I suppose I can give the race recap from last night!
Crabby drew a 117 which left Paul starting 7th in the first heat race. Mid mods ran 3rd in the running order so the track was still in great condition when Paul got out there, with what felt like a seesaw between the guys and a spacer being in or out, Paul finally got in the car and went to race. He rolled on 7th, had a weird start/ first lap, was in last, and then a caution came out, they re grouped. At the next start, the car looked really good, and then Paul finished 3rd! (Yay!) after a weird first lap, and being back to last at one point, we were very happy with a third place finish. Once Paul came back to the pits, we raced up to watch the rest of the heat races and began the counting to figure out if we would make the show or not… after a couple other heats had a ton of passing we weren’t confident we wouldn’t be running a b main today, however, we were wrong and we are still aboard the 🚂🚂!!! We roll off 14th in tonight’s feature race!

Stay tuned for an update later tonight, and thank you again for all that support us on this crazy adventure we call Team 28 Racing!

Paul and I are loaded up and on the road to Ogilvie Raceway for the annual Fall Classic race!

We also need to take a moment to say a huge thank you to the Pederson family for paying our draw fees for the weekend! We appreciate it so much! To our supporters who may not know: Michael Pederson wheels his own racecar in the pure stock class, and does a great job! He’s not quite old enough to drive on the roads, but he’s very quickly became a better driver than most of the people we do see on the roads ha! Thank you to the team for your support and keep up the good work Michael!! Melissa Pederson

We will see you back with updates to come on the race weekend!

Red Clay Classic day 2 update!
After all of the fun was had last night, Mother Nature decided to turn our favorite 2 day event into a 3 dayer! With the rain pushing racing to tomorrow, we decided to road trip to Michigan for some bowling fun!

B mains and features are up at noon tomorrow! We’ll see you then with an update!

Couple of kids and a pit lizard decided to take on red clay classic this weekend! With crabby firing herself from the draw booth after a 72 pill draw, Paul started 7th in his heat.. pretty quickly Paul was in a close battle with Alex Meyers, and Nick Koehler.. after a close quarters race Paul finished 3rd!!! Congratulations to Kolby Reed on the heat win! Top 4 made the show so we hopped aboard the 🚂🚂!!

We’ll see you tomorrow for golf and the A main action! Until then, thank you to all of our amazing supporters, we couldn’t do this without you!

Before we begin the race update from night 2 at Dirt Track Nationals, we have two quick things:
First - thank you to Jodi for taking us out to explore today! We had so much fun getting to see a new area!
Second - Team 28 has decided to announce that after tonight, we are parting ways with Ham1 Tires for the foreseeable future. Not only did Hunter McDougall draw us a 9 on a passing points show, he also puts holes in the tires he preps. As a team built on integrity and honesty, we cannot allow for this behavior to continue in the future.

Onto the race update!
After a pill draw of 9, Paul and Hunter decided to change the entire car, and with starting on the pole for his heat race, with Shane Sabraski starting 4th, there’s not much else to do besides run away and hide. Paul tried to run, but when the cars around you can run faster, you run into an issue. Paul finished 2nd in the heat race, and that left him clear of a B main starting 14th in the feature! Our only hope was to go forwards, and Paul did exactly that!
Paul rolled off 8th for a pair of 8s this weekend, and today we wheeled it forwards, whereas yesterday we wheeled it backwards, so… progress!

As usual we’ve really enjoyed our weekend in Canada and are going to enjoy some mingling and maybe a fire before heading stateside to prepare for ashlands Red Clay Classic this coming weekend!

Thank you to our amazing sponsors!

Dirt Track Nationals Night 1 update
Crabby drew #81, thankfully it was passing points so I didn’t get fired 😜 Paul started dead last in the last heat, and drove from 7th to 2nd! That left him pretty good for the feature to start 4th!
On the green flag for the feature Paul and the rest of the field did their thing.. for quite a few laps. After the first caution Paul fell back a couple spots, and then after another, the cars were left with a 3 lap dash for the win, and Paul rolled off 8th for the night🤷‍♂️ not to bad, the top 10ish cars stayed close all night, it was good close hard racing, and the car lives for another day- not to shabby.

In the post race inspection (aka figuring out why we went backwards😂) Paul found a broken RF shock… I think I may speak for the entire team when I say the night we don’t have an issue with a shock, will quite literally be shocking😒

We’ll see everyone back tomorrow with a new RF shock on the car, and hopefully some better finishes! Thank you to everyone who came out to watch tonight, it’s so humbling to see all the support for our little race team. We appreciate all of you!

An update from Team 28
We have recently discovered that JR indeed hates us and would rather go to the second happiest place on earth than the actual happiest place on earth….
Crabby Hunter and Paul are headed to the happiest place on earth - Thunder City Speedway for the weekend!!

JR is headed to Disney for a full week! Hopefully he can find something fun to do there, however we’re anticipating he might be quite bored🤷‍♂️

See ya for the checkers 🏁

Team 28 is up to something different today, instead of turning left we’re doing our best to go straight, and leave some black marks as we go 😉

Cool cars, good people, and lots of smoke, what’s not to love?
