The win last week was great, but that means starting no higher than 12th the next week. We had moved up to about the 8th spot when the 6th place car lost control, hitting the wall hard and coming down the track. With nowhere to go we ended up getting a flat right front tire. Pee Wee and the guys from the 14w limited of Bryan Wright got the tire changed and got us back without losing a lap! Thanks guys! After that we started in the rear and made it back to 11th at the end. Not to bad, just one of those racin deals. We are off this coming week, May 2nd, and the weather isn’t looking too good anyway, so we will probably see you in two weeks a the track

Team 64’s 1st win of 2009.  Started 3rd in the feature.  Made a pass for the lead in turn #1/2 and gained the lead and held it from the beginning to the end.  At times it was tough racing as the track was extremely slick but was able to hold on to the end!  I would like to thank all of my sponsors and crew and friends that support me and enable me to race!  It was nice to have mom and dad there to celebrate with me!  This is the first time they have been there for a win!  We had a late night with a celebration at Denny’s in Strasburg and then headed home to clean up the Ford for the car show at Shenandoah Ford.  We headed to bed at 4 a.m. and up again at 7 a.m. to get ready for the car show!!!!!  Been a busy weekend but very rewarding also!

The rain stopped about 1 pm at the Winchester speedway, the track was fast and the pits muddy. The 64 team had a respectable showing with a heat win and 4th in the feature. The crew is busy cleaning and getting ready for the next race this Saturday. We are hoping to be in victory lane soon!

The first race of 09 wasn’t exactly what the team was hoping for. We started the feature 8th and were hoping to finish a strong top five, until the 6th lap when we were hit in the side and spun out. By rule that means you sart at the back, just in front of the car that caused the spin. That meant starting 22nd (it was a 23 car field), Mike drove back up to 9th place by lap 15. Not terrible, just not the win we were hoping for. The car is almost done, we’ll be back Sat. for more!
