A quick reflection

Just looking back on the season so far, and we're still in awe of the accomplishments so far.  We've been very fortunate and lucky at the same time to be able to run as well as we have so far this year.  Even on nights when we haven't put a "W" in the column, we've been pretty darn good.  Thinking back to the race in Jackson where we dnf'd with Travis....that was a show we could have won with the car we had that night.  The three different races we finished 2nd at Husets.....we were easily the fastest car on the track all of those nights, but ran out of laps or the track was not conducive to passing once we'd gotten to 2nd place.  A pair of 8th place runs at Spencer and Huron were both decent days for us as well.  Spencer we started last on a track that was horrible, and managed to look pretty good, and Huron was a good showing with the big boys in town.

So many people to thank at this point.  All of the guys that have helped us work on the car up to now....Joe Vosburgh especially.  He's the one who has stuck with this team the entire time, and is always ready for the next challenge we face.  Dalton has come along nicely this year and is a valuable person in all phases of our operation.  Jake Leighty has been around us some again this year, and his help is appreciated immensely.  Trolly and Jody have been making their weekly trips us to help with whatever we need during the week.  TJ and Zack have helped at the track anytime we've needed them.  They're a riot to be around...and you just never know what they're going to say next!  Certainly we appreciate everything Jody has done behind the wheel of the car.  He's simply driven the wheels off of the car every time he's been in it!  Travis did a great job the first race of the year as well.....and he easily could have won that race.

Of course we couldn't do any of this without all our sponsors.  Tri State Truck Wash, AHT, Steve's Truck Repair, Tritz Pallet, 95.1 the Eagle, B&J Oil, Pro Shocks, Weld Wheels, Robison Racing Products, Rosy's Raceland, Maxim Chassis, and Ringers Gloves.  We've also had a few bonuses put up for us to win this year which we've been able to collect.......and we need to thank Bernie (Brian Woizeschke) from Windom, and Pat and Kendall from Applied Software in Beresford, SD.  Every little bit we're able to collect to help with the finances of running a race team helps!

Most of all, we want to thank the fans!  The feedback we (and everyone else that races) gets when the races are over is priceless!  There's no better feeling than having people come down and tell us how much they like your race car, or how cool they thought it was that you won.  There isn't better feeling in the world than after you've worked hard all week, and raced on the weekend to have the people come and show their appreciation when it's all over with!

Here's hoping to a successful 2nd half of the year!

You had no shot of winning at Jackson, but you continue to rant how you were the fastest car on the track. You maybe had a top 5 car, and thats because of everyone dropping out during the race.

Were you the fastest car on the track at Huset's when running 5th on the last lap and were credited with 2nd when 2nd, 3rd, and 4th wrecked infront of you? Yah, you really were gonna win that race and the fastest car on the track...

Quit the excuses for the nights when you get it handed to you. No race team can win every race. Your fast at Huset's and thats about it because of type of equipment/driver you have on everyone else there. Its laughable how much of an ass you make of yourself with all the excuses though.. so keep them coming.

Kevin, back-off and show a little class. You obviousy dont know any of these guys (espcially Jake)personally or you would bite your tounge and follow with your size 6 foot in your mouth.

All of these guys are some of the nicest I have had (and you would have the pleasure) to meet.

Cant you understand that this team is very proud of the hard work they have put-in and to be able to see it payoff with WINS & FANFARE?

The "quick reflections" are not excuses, but rather in-the-action observations!!!

WAY TO GO TEAM CROWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's unfortunate that Kevin T. feels the need to complain about my last post, and doesn't bother to leave an email address for a response. --check the stats, and read a little more carefully.
Thank you all for the comments and support. Thank you for the hits on the website....the sponsors LOVE it!

Hold up guys....I've deleted the last comment. Sorry, but everyone is entitled to their opinion, whether it agrees with ours or doesn't. As I said....keep the hits and comments coming....we're happy to get feedback!
