(7-29-08) The third summer series race was tonight with Casey running both cars again. He qualified 7th for the B main for Sr Honda but he fell back to finish 9th, missing the A main. In the Lite 160 B main he started 7th and finished 6th and had to be the X car again but he did not make the A main. Next race Auugust 12th.
(7-15-08) Casey pulled double duty again tonite driving in the Senior Honda and Lite 160 classes. First up was the 30 lap Lite 160 race. He started 6th and finished 5th in the A main, his best A main finish of the year. Next was the very competitive Sr honda race where he started 4th and finished 6th in the A main. Good job by the driver for staying out of trouble and taking care of the car. next race is July 29th.
(7-5-08) Casey made his debute in the Lite 160 class this week. Starting 9th in the A main race, he was running in the 7th spot when a crash happened in front of him. As he slowed to miss the wreck, he was hit from behind and pushed into another car and flipped his car on its side. He was not injured but the car was and had to drop out with a 7th place finish. He also ran the new car in Sr Honda. He started 7th in th B main and got spun around the half way mark and finished 7th. Next race is July 15 in the summer series.
(6-10-08) Running some of his best lap times ever, Casey started 4th in the A main for the first Tuesday night race in the summer series. Dad messed up the car by making an ill advised gear change before the race causing the car to not be very quick on the start. Casey made the best of it and finished 9th. Thanks to the guys at Talon Chassis for a great car and all the help at the track. We will have some new pictures of the car soon.
(6-7-08) After missing a few races we finally got to run the new car. We went down a day early to do some testing and get the car dialed in. Casey qualified 9th for the B main and finished 6th, just missing his first Senior Honda A main by 1 spot. next race is on Tuesday night.
(4-19-08) Rain won the race this weekend. Casey got to race in his heat race and finished 7th and was qualified for 6th place in the C main race. But the rain came and we dried the track and it rained again. We dried the track 4 times before we ran out of time to finish all the races. Next race is on May 10th and we will have the new car by then.(4-12-08) The first race of the year was rained out last week and we had to fight the rain this week but we got it in. The car was real lose in qualifying but we got it better for the race. Casey finished 6th in the D main and missed the transfer spot by one position. Next race is next week on the 19th.
(3-27-08) Casey's first race of 2008 will be on April 5. We tested last Friday and Casey was glad to be back on the track. We have a new Talon chassis ordered and should have it by the 3rd race of the season. We are looking forward to having a great season and cant wait to get started.
(11-3-07) Last race of the year for Casey. He ran a great race in the heat and finished 6th. He started 6th in the Cmain but he was involved in 2 incidents and wound up 9th. He was tied for 25th in the Senior Honda points, having only competed in 7 of the 14 points races. Not a bad first season for a rookie team and driver. We learned a lot and are looking forward to racing again next year. Thanks to everyone who has helped us this year.
(10-20-07) Casey ran a good lap in qualifying and started on the pole for the D main. He had a good race going but got tangled pu on a restart and finished 6th.
(10-13-07) Casey ran three races this weekend at NCQMA. He struggled with a loose car in the heat race and finished 10th. Starting last in the D main he made up to 6th and transfered to the C main where he finished 10th.
(9-29-07) Casey ran his fastest lap of the year in qualifying this week. He started 8th in the D main and finished 6th. Next 3 races are on October 13, 20 and November 3.
(9-8-07) Casey did a great job this week after we got the car handling better. He ran a lot of practice laps and we made a few adjustments and he ran the fastest laps he had run all year. He finished 6th in his heat race and finished 5th in the C main, just missed making the B main by 1 spot. Next race will be on the 29th.
(8-25-07) We made it back to the track after repairs from the damage on th 14th. We had to get a new axle, spindles, radius rods and repair the broken shocks. The car did not handle very well in practice but we kept working to get it better. This was Carolina Cup race and Casey was very excited to get to run in it. He qualified 6th for the D main and was not able to move up any and he finished 6th.
(8-14-07) We had a rough day at the track. Casey was practicing and 2 cars wrecked in front of him and he ran into them. It bent the axle, spindle and radius rods on the right front. We tried to fix it for qualifying but there was a problem with the chain. So he started 7th in the C main and was only able to run a few laps because the car was not handling very good. We will order some new parts and try to get ready for the race on the 25th. Thanks to Lynn and Cloe for helping out repairing the car.

(7-14-07) Casey moved up to the Senior Honda class today. There were 22 cars in his class and they can only run 10 cars at a time so they have to run lower mains to qualify for the A-main. As with all rookies, Casey had to start in the rear of all races on the first day of move up. He started 7th in the D-main and ran a good safe race and finished 4th and he advanced to the C-main. He started 9th in the C-main and was unable to move up any and finished 9th. Not bad for his first time running with the big boys.
(7-10-07) Went to our first Tuesday night race. Got there early for some practice and then the rains came.
(6-9-07) Casey WINS!!! Casey picked up his first ever win in Quarter Midgets. He started first in his heat race and lead flag to flag winning his first ever heat race. Then he backed that up in the A-main starting 2nd and made the pass for the lead on lap 10 and held on for his first win in Senior Novice Move up. Way to go Casey!
(5-19-07) Casey started on the pole for the heat race and finished 2nd. In the A-main, He started 2nd and finished his best ever in 2nd.
(5-12-07) Casey moved up this week to the Senior Novice Move Up class. We took off the restrictor plates and let them go. He was 4th fastest in qualifying and started the A-main 2nd after the inversion. He ran 2nd for most of the race but got passed near the end and finished the 20 lap race in third.(4-21-07) Casey started 3rd and finished 5th in the heat race. That gave him the pole for the A-main where he finished 3rd.
(3-24-07) In his second race ever, Casey qualified 4th in the Senior Novice class. He finished the race in the 3rd position. He was excited to get his first top three finish and his first plate to go on his plaque. For every top three finish you get you receive a plate with where you finished on it to put on a beautiful plaque with the NCQMA logo on it.
(3-24-07) Casey ran his first Quarter midget race today at the North Carolina Quarter Midget Association race track. He has been in driver training for the past 4 weeks and they are ready to race. He started 2nd out of 6 cars in the heat race and finished 5th. After inverting the top 5 from the heat race, that gave him the pole for the A-main. The car was real loose for him and he held on to finish 5th. He ran a great first race, staying out of trouble and hanging on to a very loose car.
