I have been lacking when it comes to updating the KelseyRacing.com website but things are busy this time of year!

The Kelsey Racing team has been very consistant in making Feature Events each week minus the one and only time we missed one.

Although Bill has not been 100% happy with the handeling of the car, we spent last night making a Huge change to the chasis to help with this. (we hope)

This coming Sunday should be pretty exciting and we are hoping all the changes will make a Big difference for the good. Come see for yourself this coming Sunday July 19, 2008 at Seymour Speedway at 6PM sharp. The following week, there will be no races July 26 due to the fair.

Racing starts back up Aug 2nd 2009 with Kelsey Coatings being the major sponsor!

Bill Kelsey currently sits 10th in the IMCA Stock Car points at Seymour Speedway and is the highest ranking rookie for his class.

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.
