2016 April - May Race Recaps

April

4/9/16 - Dillon qualified 3rd in Jr Honda and 2nd in Jr Animal. They inverted the top 5, so he started 3rd and 4th respectively. An early spin in the Jr Honda race sent him to the back of the field, but he was able to work his way up to 4th by the time the race ended. In the Jr Animal, we were involved in a wreck at the very start of the warm up laps that sent him off the track. He was able to make it back out before the race began, but racing on cold, dirty tires was pretty much impossible and he ended up striking out, finishing 6th. Even though the Animal finish wasn't exactly what we were hoping for, we are so proud of Dillon! He is finally starting to show the passion for competition that we have been waiting to see.

4/23/16 - Dillon qualified 4th in Jr Honda and 3rd in Jr Animal. There was no invert, so he started in those positions. He finished 4th in the Jr Honda and 2nd in the Jr Animal! He did so awesome!

 

May

5/14/16 -  Dillon qualified 5th and finished 4th in Jr Animal. In Jr Honda, he qualified 3rd which put him starting on the pole after the invert. He led almost half the laps and then got spun out, so he had to go to the back of the field. He ended up finishing 8th. Dillon did a great job leading the Jr Honda race for the time that he was up front and passed cars in both races. We are really proud of him!

5/21/15 - Dillon qualified 4th in the Jr Honda and 3rd in the Jr Animal. He started 4th in Jr Honda, but a wreck coming to the green sent him to the back of the field. He hung in there and ended up finishing 3rd! In Jr Animal, they inverted the top 3, so Dillon started the race on the pole. He led the whole race, but with 7 laps to go, the car started to bike and he ended flipping (pretty spectacularly) down the backstretch. He wanted to go back out, but right after they restarted his chain came off, so he ended up coming off the track. He finished 7th. He did a great job overall in both races and we are super proud of him!
