Update 06-20-09
The Northern California Mountain town of Quincy, CA hosted 27 of the West's fastest 360ci Sprints for Race #4 of the Civil War Series. Qualifying in the 14th position Kenny earned a front row start ouside of the #49 of Mike Monahan. Lap #2 saw the #7K K&N Filter sponsored sprint run too hot into turn one and just got into the loose stuff at the top. This allowed the super fast cars of Sean Becker and Brett Rollag to pass.

In a good race for the final transfer with #38N Mark Tabor Jr. pursuing, Kenny won the hard earned transfer spot by a bumper.

Starting 4 rows deep in the feature, Kenny stayed focused and ran 10 spots behind the leader Mike Henry for most of the race.  With only 4 laps to go the 7K car just could not stick in the corners as it had been. Kenny lost position to the #53 and Miles Bishop to finish 13th.
Kenny is now positioned in 17th in Civil War points just 25 points from 10th !

Update 06-13-09
Points Race #8 saw 20 360 Sprints time in for qualfying. Kenny placed the Chico Truck & RV 7K car in the 11th position giving him a second row start in heat number two.

On lap 2 of the heat Matt Barber's #58 got loose off of turn 4 and jumped the right rear of Kenny's car. The contact flipped the Barber bringing out the red flag. Kenny restructured his assault on the track and made ground up to finish in the 3rd spot.
The A Feature found Kenny started in the fourth row on the super-fast surface. Early on Kenny managed to avoide the melee of a crash and flip and held out to take a 9th place finish for the race. Come see Kenny in Quincy on June 20th for he Civil War Race.

Wild Winged Wednesday 6-3-09
After a good qualifying effort placing the LRT Graphics Chico Truck and RV Sprint to the 9th position with 39 cars reporting. A second row start would be the highlight as Kenny jumped the cushion in turn 1 and finished 6th sending the 7K team to the B-Feature Event. A hard fought battle in turn #1 seemed to be the problem all night as we could not figure out how to get there fast enough. However, avoiding all the wrecks ahead was an effort in its own. Finishing a respectable 9th. Congrats to 92 on the rain splattered win.
Allen will return Sat to Placerville for points race #7.

A Teen is Coming into His Own Against the Big Boys of the Sprint Car World

From the K&N Filter Website - click here.

Kenny Allen is only 14-years-old but he’s been racing since he was in kindergarten. The Chico, California resident got the racing bug the first time his father took him to the track. The next you know, he was racing Outlaw Karts in the Box Stock Division.

Teen Racer Kenny Allen holds his own against some of the biggest names in Sprint Car actionHe moved on to Mini Sprint racing action and now Allen is into 350/410 Winged Sprint Cars. Allen has several “Rookie of the Year Awards” and earned a 2008 championship in a 500cc Outlaw Kart. With over 84 starts, Allen has achieved 82 top 20 finishes, 34 top five finishes, 29 heat race wins, 6 trophy dash wins and set the fast time 21 times.

California teen will next compete in the Civil War Sprint Series at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, California

He is only a week or so away from his 8th grade graduation, does not have a driver’s license, but competes against some of the biggest names in Sprint car action. Allen also uses K&N products.

“I know from being around the track that K&N makes great products,” said Allen. “I’ve seen K&N commercials on television and read about K&N in magazines. I also went on the Intranet and looked up information on KNFilters.com. We needed a sprint car air box and I asked my mom to contact K&N. The next thing you know we were hooked up and my sprint car is running better.”

Allen took the checkered flag after from his first heat race in the 2009 Placerville Speedway 360 Points Series. “I’m more excited about winning that race than graduating 8th grade,” he said. “I’m also the youngest racer to do well in the Civil War Series.”

Allen hopes to go to the King of California Series, then to the World of Outlaws. He eventually wants to be a NASCAR driver. His next race will be in the 2009 Civil War Sprint Series on May 24 at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, California.

Update 5-16-09
Placerville, CA

A low pill draw for qualifying would not disturb the thought process of young Kenny Allen as he had a quick lap of 10.592, enough to place the Chico Truck & RV, Simpson sponsored 360 to 7th in over qualifying. Kyle Hirst set the pace at a quick 10.263. A second row start in heat race 1 was the order, however, after a jump start bythe 20 of Sweeney, Kenny was moved to the front row. Upon the restart, Kenny smashed the trottle to run 1st giving the 7K team the uplifting feeling of winning their 1st heat race. After B main results were in, it had left the 7K a 3rd row start. A spin early in turns 3-4 left Kenny starting in the back and an almost impossible way to the front of the field. Kenny finished 17th.

The 7K team looks forward to racing at home for the Fair, and the Civil War race on Saturday and Sunday. Come see us at Silver Dollar Speedway the 24th and 25th!

Placerville Points Race #5
The night started off well for the Chico Truck and RV 7K Racing Team as Kenny qualified 6th of the 20 entries. A last row start in his heat race will be a challenge.  Kenny smoothly passed 2 cars on the first lap to take a respectable 4th place finish.

A third row start in the A Main would be tonight's order. A great start allowed the K&N filters, JW Webs sponsored sprint to run in the 5th position till the 3rd place runner jumped the cushion in turn 3 and came back to the racing surface just missing Kenny's car. Kenny swerved to avoid contact but unwittingly collected 2 other cars to bring out the yellow flag.  After a quick tire change on the left front and removing the broken front wing of the tattered 7K Kenny returned to pass cars and finish 14th.

"We had a fast car tonight. I should have finished up front" Said Kenny after the race. Congrats to CJ Humphreys on the win.

See some great photos from the race at www.stevesracingphotos.com

Special thanks to newly acquired pit boss Ted.  He has a ton of experience in the sprint world and is very welcomed at the 7K camp. Our race car has shown great improvements since he came onboard.

Updated 4/25/09
Kenny Allen has been getting faster every week! With a great set of qualifying laps, Kenny placed the #7K JW Webs, K&N Filters sponsored Eagle on the front row of Heat Three. After slipping on the start and allowing the ever so fast car of Willie Croft take the lead, Kenny followed in hot pursuit. Running second with only 2 laps to go Kenny slipped to the high side and allowed the 39 of DeCaires to gain ground. Herman Klein also capitalized to push Kenny to the 4th place transfer spot to the A Feature. 

A last row start in the Feature would give us an opportunity to gain valuable train on a dry, slick racing surface. Kenny kept pace and had a respectable 13th place finish.

See Kenny and the 7K Team at Family Chevrolet in Shingle Springs for the annual Al Hinds Tribute Car Show and BBQ. Followed by the 6th annual Al Hinds' Civil War Race at Placerville Speedway on Sat. May 20.

Updated 4/18/09
Placerville Speedway brought 27 cars to compete in the second round of 360 competition. A good start to the evening's event placed the Chico Truck and RV, L.R.T. Graphics sponsored winged Eagle to 11th spot in qualifying. However a bobble in turn one of the heat race left Kenny over the cushion for a yellow, leaving the 7K in the back of the fast-paced heat. A pole start for the B-Main would be in order.
A tire slip on the start allowed the fast outside lane to progress, leaving Kenny in the 2nd position with 2 laps to go the #18 of Hunting put on a slidejob to gain the 2nd position giving the 3rd place transfer to the JW Web sponsored 7K sprint car.

A deep start in the A-Feature left the 7K in trouble with the super-fast leaders soon to gain ground and start lapping traffic. Kenny kept his car on the bottom and finished 17th.

Updated 4/11/09
The Season Opener of the California Civil War Series featuring top 360 Wing Sprints unveiled at Petaluma this year as the 1st Scheduled race was rained out in Placerville on March 21st. A strong field of 38 cars showed, as Kenny qualified his Chico Truck & RV Eagle to the 20th position. However, after officials discovered his dumb Dad had the wrong compound tire! Kenny's front starting heat position, would soon be traded for a rear starting position. Quick to pass, Kenny placed the 7K Eagle to the 7th, then jumped the cusion only to lose 2 positions to finish 9th. A C-Main transfer placed Kenny deep inthe B-Main event, Finishing 17th. "It was great to get a lot of needed laps, but I really want to place in the Feature A" said Kenny.

In Rememberance: Kenny Allen and his family and team extend our deepest sympathies to the Stover Family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Speed, Christian Stover.

Placerville Speedway, CA
Kenny Allen and The 7k Racing Team traveled to the foothills of the Sierras to take on the opening day of 360 sprint car racing at Placerville Speedway.

After only 1 race weekend, the legendary Silver Cup in Chico, under his belt 14 year old Kenny paced the K&N Filters sponsored Eagle Chassis to a 21st fast qualifying. This placed him in heat 3, 4 rows back. In the heat Kenny struggled to pass a new driver that held a line so tenaciously that it didn't give the 7K enough lane to pass.   When the checkered fell Kenny had a 7th sport finish.

B Feature time and Kenny was slotted 3 rows back.  Kenny quickly put the car up on the top groove and had the car locked into a transfer spot. However not satisfied with just transfering Kenny kept the power on just a little too much and spun in turn 4 bringing out the caution. Starting at the back of the pack Kenny charged hard trying to regain the transfer spot but simply ran out of laps. The 7K Team finished 1 position short of the runner up. We will regroup and make the tow to beautiful Petaluma for the Civil War Series Sat April 11 -  see ya there!

Chico, CA, March 29, 2009
Silver dollar speedway was primed with almost 40 of the West coast's top 360cc powered sprints showed for the annual Silver Cup Night. We got the early season jitters out of the way as Kenny was the first car out for a single lap of qualifying. A 13.8 second attempt was not too bad for the first lap at the famed Silver Dollar Speedway.

The qualifying time placed Kenny in Heat 2 four rows back. Finishing in 7th place, Kenny and the K&N Filters and Haulmark Trailer sponsored Eagle Sprint were advanced to the B Main starting just ahead of the C Main transfers cars.

Kenny kept the pace with the leaders until getting loose out of turn 4 and had a handful down the front straight electing to stall in turn one. Kenny finished the run in 12th place.

Silver Cup Day Two allowed for a completely different race surface. The track started to dry even as qualifying was being run. Despite the track change Kenny set a better qualifying time than the previous day.  Even with this he still had a 4th row start in the heat.

During the heat race Kenny and the new car ran running smoothly for most of the heat race. But on the last lap Kenny swept turn 4 wide and spun in the dry slippery surface.

The B Feature would take only 4 cars to the A Feature. Kenny started 7 rows back and quickly piloted the Chico Truck and RV, JW Webs sponsored sprint up to a 4th spot, running all the way on the bottom was the key. Kenny struggled late in the race as the car was simply too loose the entire race and finished a respectable 9th. A a great effort by this young driver!

Placerville will be our next outing for the season 360 opener!

Second Place Finish in the Tulsa Shootout Feature Event
Tulsa, Oklahoma,
13-year old Chico California’s Kenny Allen made the long tow across the country to compete in the 2009 Tulsa Shootout – The biggest Micro-Sprint race of the year. With nearly 500 of the Country’s top drivers competing, all for the coveted “Golden Driller”.

Heat Races were determined by pill draw. Passing points would also be a factor. Kenny was placed in Heat Race #2 for an 8 lap contest with some of the best drivers at the shootout. Pole position belonging to Oklahoma’s Scott Sawyer. Kenny started 3 rows back, behind World of Outlaws star Terry McCarl’s son, Carson McCarl. Quickly moving to pass, Kenny finished 3rd behind Paul Niehiser, of Illinois, with Scott Sawyer taking the victory. Continued below Video...

The top 60 in points transferred to a Qualifier Scramble of 10 laps. Being placed in Race #2 of 5, Kenny held his own pacing 10 solid laps, holding a 3rd place finish behind fellow Central California’s Dylan Black, with a super fast Jared Wilson, of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, leading the pack. Leaving Allen in 16th in points after final qualifiers, with enough points to be locked in the “A” Feature.

The “A” Feature lineup included USAC Sprint and Midget star, Brady Bacon, and California Sprint Car star, Kyle Larson, making his 1st debut in a 600 Sprint on the front row. Starting 8 rows back in the 16th position, Kenny avoided a series of first lap crashes, staying focused, as Brady Bacon slowed at lap 19. With 27 laps completed, and a yellow flag for Sacramento’s Scott Mauldin, Kenny had maneuvered the Gordon Seros powered PMP Chassis into 4th position. Keeping the car on top as fellow drivers continued to pursue the bottom, allowed Kenny to push into 3rd place as Chris Andrews, of Tulsa, Oklahoma slowed as mechanical issues were a factor. On the white flag lap, Kevin Bayer, pushed his Factor 1 Chassis to the front with Kenny running in chase. What a great race! Kenny Allen running the top of a super fast, very well primed race surface, and Kevin Bayer running the bottom, with well prepared throttle control, Kenny just missing the victory at the flagstand.

Congratulations to Oklahoma’s Kevin Bayer on his 1st Outlaw win as Kevin won the Stock 600’s in 2005. Kenny would like to thank Stan Yockey, Gordon Seros, and Dennis Leis at LRT Graphics.

November 29, 2008 – Turkey Shoot Out
After heavy Central California Rains on Wednesday and Thursday, it left the race surface very wet. Track officials worked all day up to race time on Friday evening to finally the evening’s event. Bringing out the huge equipment on Saturday morning to fix what Mother Nature did! The Plaza Park crew went out of their way to give the racers a perfect race surface for Saturday’s only show. With 46 cars qualifying, Kenny placed the LRT Graphics, JWWebs sponsored PMP Chassis 600 Sprint to 12th. After 2 failed starts on heat race 1, Kenny got pushed out on the start but kept pace into turn 1 running into 3rd for a A-Main transfer. Starting 5 rows back behind PMP Chassis builder Stan Yockey would be difficult with many fast cars in the 1st and 4th rows. The start gave Kenny a great jump and kept pace with the leaders. On lap 5, Kenny passed 2 cars for 4th spot. Loosing all breaking and just too much speed into turn 3, left Kenny jumping the groove and causing a yellow. On lap 20, a red flag for a flipping Kyle Evans, allowed time for a quick brake bleed, but not enough time to get brakes back. Kenny paced the rear for the last 9 laps without brakes to finish 16th.

08-29-2008:
After a long 2 months of planning and the 7K team has finally put together a 360 Sprint which made its debut at the final points event at Placerville Speedway. We unloaded the car and went straight out to mud pack the track.

Hot laps were the only 5 circuits of the track that Kenny had to adjust to the new powerplant before stepping out for Qualifying. 

Hoping to keep this 700hp beast on the track was just not enough for Kenny who completed 2 smooth laps for a qualifying spot of 20th.  Carrying the rookie flag, Kenny was placed in the rear of Heat #2 of 3 Heats.  Running the rear of the pack during this Heat was the much needed track time this team needed. 

Starting 2nd row for the B Feature, Kenny kept the pace for 12 laps and finished 3rd for the transfer - Making the A Main Feature on his first outing with the 360s. 

Drying track conditions left a track that would requir3e a lot of car control, definitely a true test.  During the race Kenny kept up with the pack until lap 14 when he just spun in turn 2 doing a double spin trying to save the lap.  After a push-off and regrouping on lap 20 Kenny fell victim to the same spot in the turn and spun again.  He came off the track excited and proud of all he had learned about these cars during his first race. 

Keeping the new car in one piece was a good mission. Avoiding all the wrecks tonight was just spectacular for this young driver.  Congrats to the 20J of James Sweeney on his 1st feature win and thanks for all the help !!

Also a really big thank you to Kevin Sharrah for helping us get the car on the track. Kevin has taken a lot of time to show us how to build sprint cars properly.   Thanks to Dennis and the Boys, and Andrea, of course, at LRT Graphics as this is an AWESOME LOOKING RACE CAR !

The 7K Racing Team has been hard at work in the race shop assembling a new Eagle Chassis, and putting together a 360 package to challenge the travelers of the California Civil War Series next season. Thanks Jerry at Eagle for the help. This will be a big adventure for us, as Kenny will be among the youngest of competitors.

7K Update:
July 19, 2008
Racing at home this week proved victorious as Kenny led the pack in qualifying running 11.3 seconds. Ahead of 11.5 second place qualifier.

Starting last in the 6-car trophy dash, Kenny pushed the LRT Graphics, 7K PMP to 3rd Giving the win to former outlaw Kart racer Thomas Bruckenstien. "He was fast, and it was a good race" said Kenny. Main event line up put Kenny in Row 3. As the green flag dropped, Kenny made skillful moves to put the car to the front moving through lapped traffic with ease, winning the 2nd feature this year. Great performance Kenny. Thanks to our sponsors - Chico Truck & RV; LRT Graphics; Simpson; Chico Color Craft; Gordon Seros Racing Engines; Haulmark Trailers and JW Webs. Without their help we could not race! Also a big thank you to Stan Yockey at PMP Chassis for getting this car to perform at every racetrack we go to.

July 4, 2008
After taking the month of June off racing to get a freshened powder coat and carburetor work, the 7K Racing team was ready to tackle Plaza Park's Budweiser Nationals. Day #1 brought 33 cars to compete in the Super 600 class. Qualifying the Gordon Seros powered 600 to the 10th position and 2nd in the Heat race brought a 4th row start in the feature. As the track dried, Kenny kept the PMP Chassis low to finish 5th. Good job Kenny!

July 5, 2008
Budweiser Nationals Day #2. A car wash and a set of tires were needed to get the car ready again. Qualifying came better, as Kenny placed the 7K PMP into the 5th position. Heat races followed with a 2nd row start in Heat #4. After a slow start, Kenny placed the JW Webs sponsored 600 sprint to a comfortable 3rd, to get a 3rd row start in the feature. After 12 laps, Kenny had the 4th position covered and challenged multiple times for 3rd. A caution flag came out and allowed the tires to seal over. Upon the restart, it was like we had a different car completely. Way too tight! Kenny just could not keep it on the bottom, allowing the field to railroad the bottom. Kenny refused to quit, finishing an upsetting 20th. However, learning more about car setup and tires was a valuable lesson.

We would like to thank all of our sponsors: LRT Graphics, JW Webs, Chico Truck & RV, Chico Colorcraft, and Simpson

Friday, May 16th.
Giant Chevrolet again brought 37 of California's fastest 600 Sprints to compete for the Pepsi Challenge's 2 days of racing.
Qualifying 11th and just missing the inversion after finishing 3rd in Heat 2. Kenny started in the feature 5 rows back. Running smoothly the whole race and avoiding a last lap wreck, Kenny passed 3 cars on the last lap, but with scoring, finished 11th. Great job Kenny!

Saturday, May 17th
Qualifying was better with a 6th place among 34 cars. However, a slip and slight front end damage in the heat race left the 7K out of the main event, but we had a good time at Visalia!

May 10th,
Marysville, CA. After coming off a win at Cycleland Speedway and a prior 3rd finish at Marysville, Kenny wanted to run strong again. Starting 3 rows back in the feature, Kenny moved the Simpson Racing, PMP Chassis into 2nd position after 4 laps. Chasing Trevor Canalas forthe rest of the race until the last lap, where Kenny made a strong effort just missing the win at the flagstand. Congrats to Canalas on his 1st Multi win!

Kenny would like to thank his sponsors - Chico Truck & RV, Haulmark
Trailers, Simpson, PMP Chassis, Gordon Seros Racing Engines, LRT Graphics,
Color Craft Powdercoating, and Jack Waterman Web Designs.

May 2nd, 2008
The long travel to central California's Giant Chevrolet Raceway at Plaza Park brought together 38 of the West's fastest 600 Sprints. Qualifying next to last left the moisture too high to get around fast enough as the 7K qualified poorly.

Starting 5 rows back in Heat #2 of 4 heats, Kenny managed to move the Gordon Seros powered 600 to the 5th position, one away from the A-Main transfer of 4 cars. Starting from row for the 1st of 2 Semi-Mains, Kenny placed the 7K PMP to 2nd, giving us a rear start position in the feature of 22 cars.

Not being able to pass for 6 laps, allowed the starters to almost lap, but a red flag came out just in time, and put Kenny back of the rear of the pack. On the restart, Kenny ran as fast as possible staying up and finishing 14th. Fun, Fun, racing at Plaza Park! Congrats to Dillon Black on the win!

Triple Crown Night at Cycleland
May 3rd, 2008
A short trip to our local track, Cycleland Speedway, was in
order. Having never before been on this track with a sprint, left us guessing gear choice and setup. Apparently we got it right, as Kenny ran the 7K PMP 1st in the Heat Race, 1st in the Trophy Dash, and 1st in the Feature. Volunteering to start in the back of the Feature, as practice was needed passing cars under race conditions. Kenny ran the top groove to perfection. Passing and then lapping traffic. WOW!! "You can really race this track." Kenny said "There is a top and a bottom. We need more cars here. This is fun!" We will return to Marysville Speedway on Saturday night May 10th. See ya there!

April 18, 2008
Baseball and School Testing left the 7K racing team unable to travel to Visalia this week. However, we did make the trip to opening night at Sacramento Raceway Friday night. As only 12 Multi-600's showed up to race, 2 heat races, the second inverted, was the program.

Kenny started 2nd row inside for both, and finished 4th in both heats. A single groove racetrack with no passing was offered. Highlight of the heats was Christine Root hammering the throttle into turn one to take the lead and win. THAT WAS IT!

Main event line up placed 7k 5 rows back and the race ran single file the entire distance, finishing 7th. We look forward to Plaza Park again!!

April 12, 2008, Marysville, CA.
Paul Hawes welcomed the addition of the 600 winged sprints to his venue at the newly revised Marysville Raceway. With 18 cars signed in, it would make a good race night. Format is Hot laps then 1 Heat race that gives the A-Main starting positon. A pill draw of 2, 4, 6, 8 gives the lineup. Luck is needed to get a good start.

After starting in Row 3 outside in Heat race #2, Kenny pushed the 7K PMP Chassis to 3rd, giving a 4th Row start in the Feature Event. After 3 laps, Kenny had moved up to 3rd. Keeping the JW Webs, and LRT Graphics sponsored car steady, Kenny pushed the 2nd envelope multiple times but just could not get the pass. Finishing a respectful 3rd. "This was super fast!" said Kenny after jumping from the car in pure joy! He was right!!! Lap times a full 1 second faster than the 360 Sprints. Congrats to Dan Mognaga on a well driven race and the win.

April 4, Visalia, CA
Thanks to PMP Chassis and LRT Graphics for getting the 7k Racing Team ready for the opening day of racing season. Venturing South to Visalia, CA to challenge Giant Chevrolet's Plaza Park Raceway. A huge crowd that completly filled the grandstands, and a record number of cars showed. A high pill draw allowed Kenny to qualify late in the group of 38 cars. Putting the 7k PMP in the 7th qualifying position. A 2nd row start in the heat race could give us a spot in the A Feature. Bad luck prevailed as a spin late in the race put Kenny in the back and could not move up. Having to run the 1st of 2 semi-main events would be tough as we were positioned 4 rows back. As the race went green, the 7k car slowed and could not keep the pace, just lacking power.

After post-race inspections found a faulty fuel pump! I guess we shold have changed that? Go figure!! The A-Feature proved strong as Peter Murphy picked up the win through lapped traffic. It was Awesome!

Racing kicks off in Northern California with a race next Saturday night at the newly revamped Marysville Speedway. See you there!

Jan. 14, 7K Update:
With the 2008 season coming upon us, scheduling is underway. The 7K Racing Team has had some time off. My Dad (Dan Allen) had been in the hospital in December, and we had to cancel out of the Tulsa Shootout. He is well and recovering to be strong in 2008! We have been in the shop building a new PMP Chassis to race this year. With some new colors and graphics being designed by the best in the graphics business... LRT Graphics. Thanks Dennis! Check back soon for updates!

November 17, 2007. Red Bluff, California Outlaw Karts
Kenny returned to his starting grounds as Oregon racer and friend Seth Nunes was vacationing. Driving the #5N 500cc Outlaw Kart, Kenny qualified 5th on a well-prepared track. Thanks Bob Carrel!

An outside frontrow start for the super-fast Trophy Dash was in order. Open outlaw kart driver Daniel Thorsen gave it all, as a heated battle for 1st lasted multiple laps. What a great performance as Kenny prevailed.

A trophy dash win and a front row A-Feature start! Not too bad! Kenny has not raced open karts since last winter! The "A" Main saw many yellows, one involving Kenny with a spin in turn 2. After restarting and fearlessly working to the 6th position, a crash ahead could not be avoided, and Kenny stalled the engine, finishing 11th. And "THATS RED BLUFF"!!

We had fun and it was good to see many old friends! Thank You Nunes Family for giving us the opportunity to race your awsome QRC kart! Congrats to #70 Daniel Thorsen on the win!! With the quick help from Stan Yockey at PMP Chassis, the 7K Racing Team will work hard this week to get a wingless mini-sprint ready to compete at Giant Chevrolet's Plaza Park in Visalia for their Annual 2-day Turkey Race, then preparing 2 cars to race the Tulsa Shootout in December. Will keep ya posted!!

Race #10 brought 24 cars to Giant Chevrolet's Plaza Park this week. Qualifying did not go as planned for the 7k team as Kenny just could not keep the car from jumping the cushion on 1 & 2. Giving us a 17th spot and a rear heat race start.

Kenny definately found the groove in the heat race passing onthe top with just inches from the wall to get a third place finish and another A-Main transfer.

A-Main line up withe Kenny starting row 9. A good srart and running high, Kenny got the car loose and spun, thankful no one hit us. After srarting in the back on the restart, Kenny proceeded to make up ground and passing 3 cars on the white flag lap to finish 11th with Cory Ballard driving the PMP House car finishing 1st. Congrats Cory.

After a month-long break from racing, heat was the biggest thing to beat on Friday, August 3rd at Giant Chevrolet in Visalia, CA.

With all the safety gear on, and temperatures well over 100 degrees, its really hard on the drivers. Qualifying 29 cars tonight, 7K timed in both laps a consecutive 11.21 putting us 14th. A pole start in heat race #3 would be helpful as competition is tough. Racing tonight from Pennsylvania is Hyper Chassis Mfg, Mike Dicely. A third place finish resulting in a transfer to tonight's Feature "A".

Heat really taking its toll on Kenny tonight, we did not think he was going to make the race "A quick cool down and lots of fluids, and an ice cold towel from fellow driver #78 Rodney Jared got me back into the car

The Feature line up row 7 inside got fouled with a big crash at the flagstand. Kenny made it through but spun 360's down the front straight, stalling it at the end. "WOW! I didn't even hit nothin'!" Having to restart now in row 9 would be even harder to get up front. A long green finished this one. Kenny finishing 14th. Congrats to #88 Vanderweerd on the win!
