Congratulations to little Jam Jam and his puppy for taking 1st place in the balance bike race!

Grady had another impressive weekend at the track! He raced some super fast competition in Jr Honda taking 3rd overall. Then, in his animal he found himself starting in the back after winning the heat race but he drove up to 2nd before spinning out with 8 laps remaining. Sent to the back he stayed focused and drove through the field as methodically as possible and worked his way back to 2nd when the checkered flag flew. For his final race of the day he stayed focused and determined and took 1st overall in Jr 160! It was another full day filled with so much fun, great friends and exciting racing!

As always this wouldn’t be possible without the incredibly fast motors from Motors By Mike and the support of our sponsors, family and friends!
A special thank you too all of you:

🏁 Exciting things are happening with GMR! 🏁

The biggest race of our season is almost here!

🏆 Western Grands are quickly approaching! This year’s event will be held in Yakima at the brand-new 509 Track. Western Grands is a week-long championship event that brings together the best Quarter Midget drivers from across the region, and we’re excited for Grady to represent GMR on one of the biggest stages of the season.

As we prepare for the trip, we’re raising funds to help cover travel expenses, race registration, fuel, lodging, and race-day necessities like fresh tires and equipment. One way you can support our journey is by purchasing a 50/50 raffle ticket. Every ticket helps get us one step closer to the starting line, and one lucky winner will take home the cash prize!

🚗 Friday, July 3 | 5:00–7:00 PM
Come visit GMR during Enumclaw CRUIZ’N at The Dusty Shelf!

We’ll have Grady’s Dusty Shelf race car on display, and kids will have the opportunity to climb in, take photos, and experience what it’s like to sit behind the wheel of a real Quarter Midget race car. We’d love to meet everyone, talk racing, and share our passion for the sport!

Thank you to our incredible sponsors, family, friends, and community for supporting Grady’s racing dreams. We can’t wait to see you there!

Mom’s biggest sacrifice?
I used to park in the garage.
Now I need a pit pass and crew credentials just to get inside. 🏁😂

Happy Father’s Day to the man who wears so many hats for our family.

You are an incredible husband, an amazing father, and the heart of our race team. Whether you’re leading the pit crew, spending countless hours in the shop, celebrating victories, or helping us through the tough days, you show up for us every single time.

The boys are so lucky to have a dad who teaches them the value of hard work, determination, kindness, and perseverance. Grady may be the one behind the wheel, but none of this would be possible without the dedication, sacrifice, and love you pour into our family and our racing journey.

Thank you for being our biggest supporter, our problem solver, our crew chief, and our safe place. We appreciate all the long nights, early mornings, and everything you do behind the scenes that often goes unnoticed.

We love you more than words can say and are so grateful to be on this journey with you.

Happy Father’s Day, Patrick. ❤️🏁
