News

June 26th - Senoia Speedway - I can't say enough about the hard work and dedication that our team has.  After a wreck that tore the car up last week, our team busted their butts and got the car ready to roll ~ and roll it did!  Kenny was the fastest qualifier with a 14.57 and started the main event on the inside beside Shane Fulcher.  When the green flag dropped, Kenny took the lead and never looked back.  Our Barry Wright race car was flawless and so was our driver.  Kenny drove a very smooth race and carried our #21c to Victory Lane!  Congratulations to Kenny and our race team ~ it was a very deserving win!  By the way, Kenny was so busy with work, he did not have time to get the graphics on the new body.  

June 19th - Senoia Speedway - The night did not go too well for us.  Kenny was attempting to run the same high line that he was so fast in the last time we were at Senoia, but the car did not stick when he entered turn 3 and it jumped the cushion and he hit the wall ending our night.  If he could have gotten through 3 & 4 like he got through 1 &2, it seemed like he would have been the car to beat.  Sometimes things happen and we will regroup and repair the car and we will be back!  I want to thank the Senoia track officials for getting to the car to check on him so quickly.  They were there before the tires quit rolling.  Also, thanks to Tino who does PR work for the track for calling to check on Kenny.  Senoia is quickly becoming one of our favorite tracks to race on! 

June 12th - Lavonia Speedway - Kenny qualified on the outside pole and ran 2nd to Brandon Haley. 

June 11th - Westminster Speedway - Kenny had a 3rd place finish.  He and Mack English raced close and hard and put on a good show.

June 5th - Toccoa Speedway - Southeastern Late Model Sportsman Race - Kenny battled a tight race car in qualifying and did the best he could ending up with a 12th place starting position.  With hopes of advancement in the field, he did just that.  When all was said and done, he finished 8th and moved up one spot in the series points.  This series is home to some of (if not the best) limited late model drivers around so you have your work cut out for you from the time you unload until you leave to go home.   

May 29th - Tri-Co Speedway (NC) - Southeastern Late Model Sportsman Race - After a long trip up the mountain, we finally made it to the race track with hopes of a good finish at a track Kenny had never seen before.  After qualifying 8th, the race started and Kenny advanced to the 5th position.  The top 5 had pulled away from the rest of the 17 car field and the laps were winding down.  With 17 laps to go, Kenny's right rear tire started going down.  As we stood track side, we could see less rubber every lap as he passed by us.  Kenny knew there was a problem and was driving with caution while still trying to maintain 5th place finish.  With 10 to go a caution came out and the tire went completely flat.  As we worked to get the tire changed (with help of a few from another team ~ thanks guys), they noticed the left rear was going down too.  Both tires were changed and Kenny was able to pull out on the track as the leader took the green.  It took him 8 laps to run the pack down and had to settle for a disappointing 10th place finish.  This caused him to take a huge hit in the SELMS points.  When Kenny examined the tires, they both had huge cut places in them so there must have been something on the track in the groove.  

May 22nd - Senoia Speedway - Heading back to try it again on a track that Kenny has really feel in love with!  The track was very different due to tons of rain on Friday and he qualified 6th.  He was confident that he could manage a good run with his BWRC and that he did!  Kenny drove one of the best races (if not the best) of his career!  He found a groove up high and brought his BWRC to a great 2nd place finish.  We really hated to see a late race caution cause he had reeled in the leader!  With only a few laps remaining, he gave Shane Fulcher a good run but could not get by him!  It was a good night overall and we enjoyed meeting some new race teams from that area! 

May 15th - Lavonia Speedway - Southeastern Late Model Sportsman Race - Kenny had trouble with the handling of the car but managed a 6th place finish.  After looking over everything again, they found that it had a bent part in the front end that was not detected from a wreck the previous week.  Still proud of him for managing a good finish against a stellar group of cars. 

May 8th - Senoia Speedway $2000 to win Late Model Championship - We made the trip to Senoia Speedway with high hopes of a good finish on a track Kenny had never been to and came home disappointed!  After hot laps, Kenny was very confident and felt his car would be good.  Good it was!  He qualified 3rd out of 23 cars.  After 2 failed starts, finally the 3rd one was successful.  Coming off of turn 2 on lap 2, Kenny was running 4th and the 2 cars directly in front of him wrecked.  Their wreck collected Kenny and Parker Herring (running 5th) and ended the night for both of them.  It was a disappointing finish, but we were very pleased to have the qualifying run that we had.  Too bad the 2nd start didn't go because Kenny came out of turn 2 running 2nd and had gotten by the 2 cars that wrecked in front of him on the 3rd start.   

May 1st - Lavonia Speedway - Kenny qualified 3rd and was only a few 100ths off the pole.  When the race started and Kenny entered turn 1, the power steering belt broke so Kenny drove the entire race with no power steering.  He kept the car under control and brought it home for a 4th place finish. 

April 30th - Westminster - Kenny ran 2nd to Wesley English.  It was a good run for the #21c, but we were saddened for Mack English when he had a mechanical failure on his car while enroute to his first LLM win.  Kenny told him after the race that he would have rather run 3rd and seen him get his first win because he knows how hard it is to get that first one.

April 24th - Rained Out everywhere

April 17th - Toccoa Speedway - Southeastern Late Model Sportsman Series Race #3 - I don't think I have ever witnessed a more focused look on Kenny's face when race time rolled around.  Kenny qualified 6th and ran 5th on a very dry slick and tough race track.  It showed the character of our team and family to be able to bounce back and prepare our car and come home with a top 5 finish racing against a stellar field of cars! 

April 10th - Hartwell Speedway - Southeastern Late Model Sportsman Series Race #2 - After a good qualifying run, Kenny was running a strong 4th out of a field of 20 cars.  Shortly before the half way mark of the race, Kenny had a tire go down causing him to scrape the wall coming off turn 2.  After changing the flat tire and starting in the rear our car suffered a good bit of damage when another car made contact with him and broke part of the suspension in the rear end.  Kenny held on to finish 10th, but it was a very disappointing night to say the least. 

April 9th - Westminster (SC) - Finished 4th in the #4 Limited Late Model belonging to VIP Racing.

April 3rd - Lavonia (GA) - Late Model Mania - Southeastern Late Model Sportsman Series season opener.  Kenny qualified 6th out of a tough field of 20 cars.  Kenny drove a very smart race on a very dry slick but rough track to come home with a 3rd place finish. 

April 2nd - Westminster (SC) - Kenny battled a race car that was too loose during qualifying.  He qualified 7th and finished 7th.

March 27th - Hartwell (GA) - Kenny once again qualified 2nd and ran 2nd to Dustin Mincey. 

March 26th - Westminster (SC) - Kenny qualified 2nd and ran 2nd to Dustin Mincey. 

March 20th - Lavonia (GA) - Kenny once again set fast time and started on the pole along side Dustin Mincey.  Kenny drove a great race and battled a car that was a little too tight to bring home a 2nd place finish behind Parker Herring.  It was a great night of racing shared with many family & friends while honoring the Legends of Racing!

March 19th - Westminster (SC) - Kenny set fast time and started on the pole along side Wesley English.  Kenny and Wesley raced side by side for the first few laps and put on a show!  Wesley would get the advantage and Kenny would get the advantage, then coming off of turn 4 a couple of laps into the race,  Kenny was able to pull ahead and take the lead!  He drove a great race and brought his Barry Wright home to victory lane for his First Limited Late Model Win!!!!!!  Finishing 2nd was Wesley English and Bubba Russell came home in 3rd.  Way To Go Kenny!!!!  

March 13th - Hartwell (GA) - Kenny set fast time in the Limited Late Division and started on the pole along side Dustin Mincey.  It was a good clean start and no cautions for the 25 lap event.  Dustin brought home the win with Kenny giving him a close run to bring it home in 2nd!  We were very pleased with the car and it was a great way to start the season at one of our home tracks!   

March 12th - Westminster (SC) Speedway - Rained Out

March 6th - Modoc (SC) Speedway - Since they were not running a Limited Late Model race on Saturday night, we discussed it and decided to try our hand at running in the Super Late Model Feature.  To our delight, we were not that far off and qualified 5th.  After all was said and done, Kenny finished 4th and was well over the weight limit when he crossed the scales after the race!  It was a good weekend of racing and spending quality family time.  We met a lot of very nice racing families and are looking forward to our next trip to Modoc.   

March 5th - Modoc (SC) Speedway- Kenny qualified 3rd and was very pleased with the car.  After running 3rd for the entire race, a tire went down on the last lap and he was passed at the line by none other than his Daddy.  It was exciting to see them race each other throughout the race.  After post race weighing, our cars did not meet weight.  At Modoc, you have to weigh 100 lbs more without an allowance for burn-off than at our local tracks.  We weighed the car several times and continued to add weight throughout the night to reach the correct weight, but some where our calculations were off and we are still trying to figure it out.  Even though we did not meet weight and were not credited with our 4th place finish, we gained a lot of knowledge about the car and was very pleased with it overall!

March 4th - Modoc (SC) Speedway - Practice for the Modoc 100 Weekend of racing.  During the second practice session, Kenny experienced a problem with the car cutting off. After trying several things including another carburator, it was determined to be a problem with the fuel pump.  We want to thank the T1 team of Timbo Magum for coming to our aide and allowing us to have the part that we needed.  Another racer, John Henderson, was very quick to offer any help he could as well as several other teams.  Our hats are off to all the racers that extend a helpful hand in situations like this.       

March 27th - Lavonia Speedway - Practice and Car Show

March 20th - Westminster Speedway - Practice

2009 Season in review:

We just received notification that Kenny is the Runner-Up in the Rolling Thunder Favorite Crate Late Model Driver awards!  He wishes to send a huge thank you to all of his fans - racing fans are one the reasons racing is so enjoyable!  Also - thank you to Bill Kellett for hosting the Rolling Thunder Favorite Driver Awards each year!

 

December 5 - Hartwell & Lavonia Speedway Points Banquet

Kenny received 5th place in the points this year.  He was very excited to receive this honor and appreciates all of the support he receives from his sponsors, fans and family.  Without everyone's support it would not be possible! 

 

October 31 - Lavonia Speedway

Races canceled due to cold temps.

 

October 24 - Hartwell Speedway

After working all week and getting the back-up motor in the car, Kenny experienced problems during hot lap.  The car was not running well and he pulled in.  After Robin, Kenny and Darrell Garbiel checked over everything under the hood, they determined a carburator problem.  It was fixed but it did not give him time to make the changes he needed to on the suspension.  After a not so steller qualifying run, Kenny ened up with an 8th place finish. 

 

October 16-17-18 - Lavonia Speedway - GA State Championship Weekend

Friday night - Practice only for the crate cars.

Saturday night - It rained and was cold.  Late on Saturday evening, the managament canceled all racing for the evening and rescheduled for Sunday.  We were already at the track and had carried extra clothes due to rainey conditions so we ended up camping out with the VIP Racing Team of Tyler Brown and family.  It was a great time with some great friends and racers including Chad Hoopaugh, Ethan Hunter, Daniel Wilson and friends.  Boy did it get cold when the sun went down!

Sunday - Kenny qualified and felt like his car was a little down on power.  As the race went on, the car started to lose power and lose oil pressure.  He ended up being credited with a 12th place finish.   

 

October 10 - Hartwell Speedway

This was a special night for the owners of Hartwell Speedway and their family. This was the Tommy Roberts Memorial Championship Race.  Kenny had a good qualifying run and finished 5th in the race.   

 

October 3 - Modoc (SC) Speedway

Kenny traveled to Modoc Speedway on Saturday night to compete at one of his favorite tracks.  Kenny qualified 7th out of a tough field of 19 cars.  When the race began, Kenny was very pleased that he had qualified as well as he did against such a strong group of cars in only his 3rd time at the track.  After the first few laps, Kenny found himself in 4th and was having a great run.  Several laps after a late race caution, Kenny's car pushed up exiting turn 4 and several cars got by him dropping him to 8th place.  With only a few laps reamining Kenny settled for 8th and was very disappointed after running in the top 4 for most of the night.  Kenny and Robin looked over the car on Monday night and determined what they think caused it to push.  The crew will make adjustments to the set-up and carry on to our next race.

 

3 Cars - 3 States - 3 Nights

That was the plan for the weekend beginning Friday, September 25th through Sunday, September 27th! 

On Friday Night, Kenny and Chad raced at Westminster (SC).  Kenny had a dismal qualifying effort and started the race in 14th.  The car looked like pond water as it came off the turn - just wading a lot like water does in a pond.  After making several changes on the car and dodging several wrecks throughout the race, Kenny finished the night in 6th.  We were very pleased to start that far back and bring the car home without any damage!  Chad finished 3rd in the Enduro car and our team arrived home at 4:15am.  Robin, in the mean time, was in Phenix City (AL) for the Alabama State Championship event with the #27 Whitehead Trucking Limited Late Model car.  He had several practice sessions and really liked the track!  This was his first time to race at EAMS.

On Saturday night, the plan was for Kenny and Chad to race at Hartwell (GA) and Robin would practice and qualify at EAMS (AL).  Rain changed all that.  Kenny and I had our bags packed and ready to head to EAMS cause the skys were looking rough over GA.  As soon as Hartwell canceled due to bad weather, Kenny, Chris and Kim headed to Alabama.  We arrived around 7:30 pm after driving in a huge rain storm.  Robin had already qualified and failed to make the main event by a couple of positions.  This would require him to run a consi on Sunday morning.  All racing at EAMS was postponed Saturday night due to a heavy rain storm.  After Kenny bought and cooked a huge tenderlion between rain showers, Kenny, Chris, & Kim headed to the hotel for the night.  Robin stayed at the track in Pete's toterhome. 

Sunday morning came and so did the sun!!!!  Robin ran in the first consi and had a very good run finishing 2nd and making the big show.  We were all excited for him because this was his first time to race at EAMS.  Kenny once again cooked for us - this time hot dogs on the grill.  45 Limited Late Model cars attempted to make the show and 24 of them were successful in doing so including Robin.  Robin started the main event in 21st.  He passed several cars on the outside and had the #27 Whitehead Trucking machine on a move.  Robin had just passed Parker Herring for 14th when a caution flew for a car that ran off the track.  The caution put Robin back in 15th and for some reason the car that ran off the track would not go to the rear after being told to do so several times so he started basically along side Robin when the green flag dropped again.  (Still not sure why they dropped the flag without putting him where he went!)  After several laps, he made contact with Robin's left rear tire causing it to go flat and caused Robin to back into the wall.  The car overheated at that point and it ended the night for Robin.  Although, we were disappointed with the way things ended (and not appreciative of the way the other car run all over Robin!), we were very pleased that Robin made the show on his first attempt!  Robin was credited with a 20th place finish.  Kenny, Chris, and Kim did not stay for the last 5 main events.  After checking on Robin and making sure he was ok, we headed home because Kenny started his first day of classes at Athens Technical College.  It was a fun and exciting weekend to say the least.  We traveled close to 600 miles in 3 days (Kenny drove) and were already making plans for our next racing adventure while driving home!

 

September 18th & 19th - Lavonia Speedway

The Georgia State Race was rescheduled due to heavy rains so no racing this weekend.

September 5th - Lavonia Speedway

September 4th - Modoc (SC) Speedway

It was a tough night for Kenny and the #21c racing team.  After having a fast car in hot laps and high hopes of a good qualifiying run, the drive shaft broke during the 2nd hot lap session ending our night.  A special thanks to the Parker Herring and the Michael Akeson racing teams for their assistance in trying to help get a replacement drive shaft in the car. 

 

August 29th - Hartwell Speedway

Kenny qualified on the outside pole next to Brandon "Cornbread" Haley.  It took several starts before the green flag fell due to cars spinning on the first couple of starts.  Kenny gave it all he had on each start but just could not make the outside row work to his advantage.  On the final start, Cornbread managed to pull ahead and brought Grant Jordan with him.  Kenny fell in behind them and finished a very respectful 3rd place against a very tough field of cars.

 

August 22nd - Lavonia Speedway - Summer Shootout

Special races always bring the best cars!  Lavonia is known for having one of the toughest field of cars in this area.  Kenny could not get his #21c machine to be as fast as he wanted duing qualifying and had to settle for a dismal 13th place qualifying position.  After making changes on the car and a lot of hard work by the entire team, Kenny drove the wheels off and finished 7th!  It was a good run against a lot of very fast cars!

 

August 21st - Westminster (SC) Speedway

Kenny pulled in due to a mechanical failure. 

 

August 15th - Hartwell Speedway

Kenny qualified 3rd out of 12 cars.  He drove a very consistant and good race to bring his car home 3rd! 

 

August 14th - Westminster Speedway

Kenny qualified 10th out of 17 cars.  After making some passes and missing a wreck, he finished 5th.  

 

August 8th - Hartwell Speedway

Kenny qualified 3rd and was running 4th out of 19 cars when contact from the car behind him sent him spinning.  After completing a few more laps, he retired for the evening and was credited with a 13th place finish.

 

August 7th - Westminster - Due to a curfew at the track, the main events were canceled. 

 

August 4th - Westminster Practice

Kenny was very pleased with the way the car ran.  It responded to the changes that were made throughout the night and gave Kenny a boost of confindence for the upcoming race.  A lot of improvements have been made at the track and we are happy that it has reopened!     

 

August 1st - Hartwell Speedway

After having a throttle issue on the first lap of qualifying (which caused Kenny to spin), he pulled out a decent qualifying run with 8th.  As always, there was plenty of competition and a large field of cars in the crate division.  Kenny managed a 7th place finish on a very dusty but smooth track.  It was determined the breather had moved out of place and dropped down on the throttle linkage causing the throttle to stick on lap 1 of qualifying.  It was still trying to hang up on lap 2, but Kenny was able to work with it  so it would not hang wide open. 

 

July 25th - Lavonia Speedway

19 Crate cars qualified and Kenny found himself on the outside pole next to Brandon Haley.  Kenny had a great run and finished the night in 3rd behind Brandon and Parker Herring.  Tonight was also special because we had the chance to participate in a special event where children 12 and under were allowed to ride on the race cars and make a lap around the track!     

 

July 18th - Lavonia Speedway

After taking a couple of races off while on a family vacation, Kenny qualified 10th for tonights feature.  Kenny made several good passes and ended the night with a 7th place finish. 

 

July 4th - Hartwell Speedway

Fastrak Southeastern Touring Series Firecracker 50 - $5000 to win! 

Kenny qualified 10th out of the 33 car field.  The top 6 were locked in so this put Kenny on the outside front row in the first heat.  Kenny had a flat tire while in the transfer spot and had to pull in.  After having to start 7th in the 2nd consi, Kenny worked his way to 2nd and this allowed him to have a starting spot in the main event.  Kenny started 19th out of a field of 24 cars and bided his time to work his way up to a 9th place finish with no damage to the car!  This was Kenny's first topless race!

July 3rd - Toccoa Speedway

Kenny qualified 3rd out of 17 cars behind Ty Lowe and Seth Wimpey.  Got into 2nd on start but contact by another car caused a flat left rear tire.  After re-starting in the rear, Kenny ended the night with an 8th place finish.

 

June 27th - Lavonia Speedway

$1000 to win race.  Qualified 9th out of a tough field of cars and finished 8th.  Kenny raced hard all night behind Cornbread Haley and in front of David Smith.

 

June 20th - Hartwell Speedway

Thanks to family and friends, Kenny purchased some new shocks for his car with some of his graduation money!  That is how he chose to spend it and it paid off.  He had a good qualifying run and the top 5 cars were very close with their times.  Kenny started 4th and finihsed 4th.  It was a positive night for all! 

 

June 13th - Lavonia Speedway

Mud Mud Everywhere.  The track was extremely muddy and the drivers worked hard each time they were called to the track in hopes they could make it a good racing surface.  8th out of 16 cars.

 

June 6th - Hartwell Speedway

Still trying to get car to qualify better and handle better.  10th out of 16 cars.

 

May 30th - Lavonia Speedway

Huge holes and a rough track did not make for a good night for the #21c.  Kenny had a good qualifying run. He qualified 6th out of 18 cars.  When the green flag flew and the first lap ended, Kenny was running 5th and putting pressure on 4th.  After several laps and a few cautions, the lift bar brace broke sending the lift bar into the drive shaft and almost cutting the drive shaft in half when a lift bar bolt made contact with it while it was turning.  The handling immediately went away and Kenny was forced to retire for the night.  The #21c suffered expensive damage, but the crew (Robin, Johnny, and Cy) worked hard during the week to repair the car and have it ready for the next weekend.  Kenny headed to Myrtle Beach on a much deserved rest and realxing high school graduation senior trip! 

 

May 25th - Toccoa Speedway - Memorial Day Race:

The night started off great.  25 cars qualified and Kenny qualified 6th.  Kenny was very pleased with the handling during the hot laps and qualifying and had his sites set on a good run with some very talented drivers and fast cars!  Due to various reasons, it ended up taking 3 starts before they got the green flag and Kenny was caught up in a first lap accident which ended his night.  They race went on and it was a night filled with many caution flags.

May 23rd - Hartwell Speedway:  Rained Out

May 16th - Lavonia Speedway:  Rained Out

 

May 9th - Hartwell Speedway:

After a long hard week in the shop and a lot of new changes on the car, Kenny had a successful night!  18 cars qualified for the night's feature and Kenny qualified 3rd behind Royce Bray and Brandon Haley.  On the start of the feature, Kenny fell into 3rd spot behind Brandon and in front of Hot Rod LaMance.  About half way into the race, Kenny passed Brandon to take over 2nd spot.  Brandon ended up having a mechanical problem and retired for the evening leaving Hot Rod in 3rd.  When the checkered flag fell, it was Royce Bray, Kenny, and Hot Rod LaMance.  Kenny drove a very consistant race and was pleased with the car's handling and the changes made.   

 

May 3rd - Lavonia Speedway (Sunday Afternoon):

Kenny qualified 9th in a large field of cars and finished 10th.  Kenny was running in the 6th position when a combination of a dry slick track and a ruff spot in the track caused him to spin with only a few laps remaining.   

 

April 25th - Hartwell Speedway:

Kenny qualified 8th and got through a huge wreck that started up front in the crate race.  He had minor sheet metal damage, but managed to keep the car out of most of harms way.  He finished the race with a 4th place finish. 

 

April 18th - Winder Speedway:

Kenny raced in the Limited Late Model Division with his Crate Car at Winder on Saturday night.  He qualified 6th and finished 6th out of 13 cars.  We were very pleased to have a good finish since we were running with cars with a lot more motor than he had!

 

April 17th - Lavonia:

The crate division at Lavonia Speedway is one of the toughest and most competitive around.  It is combined of veterans with a lot of experience and young guns on a mission!  19 cars qualified and took the green flag.  Kenny qualified 8th and finished 8th.  It was a nose to tail race for the most part with no one pulling away from the field.   

 

April 11th - Hartwell Speedway:

It was a great night for Kenny!  Kenny qualified 4th and finished 3rd in the crate feature.  Kenny was able to get by Bubba "Hog Rocket" Russell during the early laps of the feature and was consistant throughout the night to bring home a 3rd place finish ahead of Bubba and behind race winner Royce Bray and Parker Herring who was 2nd. 

    

April 4th - Lavonia Speedway Fastrak Challenge:

31 crate cars qualified for the Fastrak Challenge on Saturday night at Lavonia Speedway.  Kenny qualified 19th and finished 13th in the main event.  We will carry what we have learned from the 3 special events we have entered so far when we travel to Hartwell Speedway this coming weekend.    

 

March 28th - Hartwell Speedway (GA) - Rained Out

 

March 21st - Lavonia Speedway Late Model Mania: 

Kenny finished 4th in the Fastrak Bonus Main Event.  During the first part of the night, he had a very loose race car.  They worked on the car throughout the entire night and made a lot of changes that seemed to help the handling of the car by the end of the night.  Although we were one of many that did not make the Fastrak 50 lap main event, we once again learned a lot about the car and how it reacts to changes and was able to start the bonus main event resulting in a 4th place finish.  The Fastrak series had a total of 53 teams sign in for the event and had the largest field of cars of all 3 of the series in attendance this weekend.     

 

March 14th - Hartwell Speedway (GA) - Rained Out

 

March 6th and 7th - Modoc Speedway (SC):    

Although Kenny did not make the 100 lap feature event, it was a successful weekend of racing.  He learned a lot about the car and gained valuable seat time.  By the time the consulation feature rolled around on Saturday night, Kenny had the track figured out and was moving through the field until he was collected by another car and the result was a flat tire which took him out of competition.  Everyone was sitting on the edge of their seats as the consulation race was very competitive and sometimes 3 wide racing.  A total of 68 cars signed in for this race.  We enjoyed our first visit to Modoc Speedway and had a great time spending the weekend with other racing teams from our local area.
