A hard fight between the #99, #27 and Bill Kelsey in the #0K IMCA Stock Car for the 4th place spot in heat race #3 for several laps. Rookie driver Bill Kelsey was able to hold off both veterans and take the final transfer position into the feature event.

Starting deeper in the feild for the feature event, Bill drove hard down the back streatch and a huge pile up started in the front of the pack in turns 3 & 4. Bill was unable to avoid the crash and became involved as well.

Heavy damage to the front of the car would end the night for Bill Kelsey in the IMCA Stock Car #0K with the car on the hook. Radiator, Rim, Tire, Front Bumper, Several support bars, Fenders, Firewall, Nose Cone and many other front pieces all received damage.

It made for a long week out at the race shop, but the #0K is ready for the upcoming Sunday night event at Seymour Speedway to take place. We hope for better luck this week!

Although even the Kelsey Racing crew and driver were getting ready to race in one of the two last chance races due to a wreck fighting for the second position in the heat race, the team was informed by track officials that the 0K was in the feature event.

After the damage to the # 0K in the heat race, driver Bill Kelsey was able to limp around one extra lap and pull off track on the white flag lap. Due to several other cars that were a lap down or left the race earlier, Bill was able to score the 4th place finish and advance to the IMCA Stock Car feature event.

The feature event had several exciting moments for Bill and that was missing several wrecks that were close calls getting the # 0K involved.

Still fighting a "Miss" in the motor, Bill was fighting the car due to it’s lack of power in the corners but was able to bring home a 12th place finish. More seat time for Bill is great! This also helped maintain the number 13th position in points at Seymour Speedway, being only 77 points out of the lead held currently by the #55 Shawn Wagner.

From what I can tell, Bill is also currently the Highest Placing Rookie in the IMCA Stock Car division by season points standings.

Doing our weekly work last night on the race car also discovered more bent parts that we missed while fixing the car in the pits Sunday night. All is fixed and we also hope to have the miss in the motor fixed as well.

There will be no races today June 7th at the Seymour Speedway. A great deal of standing water at the track with cloudy skies will not help dry it out in time for racing.

This is the first rain out at Seymour for the 2009 season.

June 14th is the next race at Seymour Speedway with racing getting underway at 6PM sharp!

May 24th brought the second career heat race win for Bill Kelsey and the Kelsey Racing # 0k IMCA stock car driver.

More seat time in another feature event was like another win for Bill and the whole team.

May 31st brought the Kelsey Racing team back to earth. Several strong runs in both the heat race with a 5th place finish, which was 1 spot away from making the feature. Bill was passed by the # 27 machine right at the checkered flag. A miss in the motor didn’t help as the car lacked some power near the end of the race and No Brakes didn’t help either due to a broken left rear brake line. The last chance race was up next, but for the first time in 2009 the # 0k was on the trailer when the IMCA Stock Car feature event took place.

The next race is June 7, 2009 at Seymour Speedway starting at 6pm sharp. Be sure to check the weather or SeymourSuperSpeedway.com for latest updates.
