Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!
After a disappointing week at the Outlaw Dirt Kart Nationals and a week off to look back on things, it was time to hop back in the saddle once again for the 21 team. We had some things that did not go right with the chassis during Nationals, so we found ourselves racing at Poplar Grove Speedway in Kamrar, Iowa on August 23. This would be the first visit for the Outlaw Dirt Karts at Tim Mortenson's race track. The track personnel along with with the other racers were great to work with. Devin put down some good laps and pulled off a win in his Stew Hansen Dodge City Jeep Bianchi Boys Pizza & Pasta TRR powered machine. It felt really good to get back in victory lane and get rolling again.
Rain washed out Friday's points race #13 at English Creek Speedway and forced a Sunday make up date. At that point, the team decided to run a totally different kart for Sunday's show. It will be blackjack or bust Devin's dad said. We have a good point lead right now, so now is the time to try new things for next season. With racing you are always looking to find that little edge. The choice to run the different kart paid off. Devin managed to sweep the night: heat race, trophy dash, and the A-main to pick up his 9th win on the year.
With only two weekly points races left at ECS, Devin has 127 point lead. We are trying our hardest to bring home a championship for our marketing partners and the people that support our race team. Without them we would not be able to do this... Devin would like to thank: Stew Hansen Dodge City Jeep, Bianchi Boys Pizza & Pasta, Morris Automotive, TMAC, Wynns, Tim & Gina Doogs, Dake Law Office, Bell, TRR, Chase Decals, Hoosier Tires, & ARC.
