This week success started Monday at Sheyenne River Speedway in Lisbon ND. We used the high speed ¼ mile speedway as a little test session for both of the cars. The changes made to Kevin’s car looked like it helped. On the other side, the changes made to Erik’s car did not help at all. Kevin had a nice 2nd place finish in his heat race and Erik came in 5th in his.
After filling up the cars with gas, doing some little set-up and tire work, both cars were ready for the feature. Erik’s car was still a handful and he finished the feature about where he started. Kevin’s car seemed to be working ok for him. He was able to work up some cars and was in a battle for 3rd for the last couple laps. William Wadeson just edged out Kevin at the line. But, it was still a nice 4th place finish.
The next race was Wednesday at Red River Valley Speedway in Fargo ND. After doing some work on the cars the night before, we were ready do to some racing on the new 3/8 mile track. Erik and Kevin were in the same heat. Both the cars were looking good as Kevin came in with a nice 2nd place finish. Erik had 2 nice passes in the last couple laps to come in with a nice 3rd place finish.
In the feature, both cars had good starting positions with Kevin starting 2nd and Erik starting 3rd. Each car hand a good start. Dustin Blahm was able to get around Kevin at that start for the lead. Couple laps latter, Kevin was able to work his way back around him on the bottom side and was able to take the lead. Erik fell back a little as he got stuck behind a car. He was able to hold his own for a good top 10 finish. After taking the lead, Kevin started to pull away from the field a little. The laps seemed to take forever, but finally the checkered flag flowed over Kevin for his first feature win of the year.
