A very eventful night for the Kelsey Racing Team this week!
Fighting for the lead in the heat race, Bill was riding the rim of the track ready to go for the lead when a load POP came from the car. At first it sounded like a tire blew, but Bill passed by the crew in a silent car. At first, the crew had thought the motor expired but after deeper looking the distribuitor had expired.
With a spare distribuitor on hand, a quick change brought life back to the motor! This would force the #65 machine to run a last chance qualifier to make the feature event. Starting 10th, Bill wasted no time and was the "meat in the sandwhich" going 4 wide for a full lap. This sent Bill into 5 place at the time and by the time the 11 laps were complete, a 3rd place finish would send the car to the feature event.
A good deal of damage was done to the car in the last race and the feature event brought even more damage. Starting near dead last (19th) Bill would take his time and work all the to 8th by the time the checked flew!
It was a hard battle to fight to 8th, but Bill drove smart and had several great saves during all 3 races.
We hope to see you out at the races on July 20th at 6PM sharp. Kid’s, bring your Big Wheels, for the Big Wheel Races during half time! There is also a bike give away. Stop by in the pits after the race to say Hi and have an ice cold drink as well.
