Medford - Our engine luck continues!!!

Arrive at Medford - Southern Oregon Speedway on a beautiful day for another nights racing. We qualified 19th out of 32 cars. We finished 6th in out heat missing out on the A Main but we qualified in the B Main getting us through to the back of the A Main. We were all pretty excited at having qualified for an A Main, the crew did an amazing job and Dean was pumped ready to go, 2 laps in we had climbed up a couple of spots when the car stopped.

The Cam in our motor had broken and that was the end of the night, absolute heartbreak for Dean and the rest of the team. The frustrating part is we had the sent the motor over for a rebuild before we got here so it had only done 2 meetings, we carry out strict maintenance yet we still get bitten. Very disappointing and upsetting. The motor is being taken up to Skagit which is 6 hours away by a legend of a man Jeremy Ivey a long time friend of Jonathan's to see if we can get it repaired for Dirt Cup Week and possibly tomorrow night depending on what is wrong with it......will keep you updated.

On a plus side congratulations to Jonathan Allard on a great win last night
