A nice night welcomed the Kelsey Racing Team to the Seymour raceway! A tacky track with all the wet weather and coming off a strong second place finish last week, the team was excited to hit the track.
After a 6th place finish in the heat race, the 65 machine would start 18th in the feature.
On lap one, corner #2 would end the night for Bill. The #8 machine of T.J. White which started on the poll did not come up to speed on the green flag lap. The #17 turned hard left to miss the 8 car, the 22 took a hard left to miss the 17 and the rest of the field paid for it! With the #65 Kelsey Racing Machine getting the short end of the deal with massive damage!
The whole rear end was ripped out of the car just hanging by the twisted lone right rear control arm. All other control arms, shocks/springs, drive shaft etc where ripped out. The rear end damage was not the only damage either. The whole rear bumper cover was ripped off. The left front fender, door and side panels were smashed in. The front left upper control arm, spindle and tierod end all smashed. Another rim and tire will not see another race as well.
This week was not only a big hit in the points, but also to the pocket book. I will be out at the race shop tonight and I will try and take some pictures of the car to post.
