Bill Kelsey would start on the inside of row number 3 in the 4th IMCA Stock Car heat race. Only taking the top 4 cars to the feature event, with the top 3 finishers in the redraw, Bill had some work to do starting in the 5th position.

Bill was ready to work and so was the car! With a good deal of tack left in the track, Bill would make the car work very well in the middle groove and pass several cars as the laps started ticking off.

As the checkered flag would fly after the 8 lap heat race, the 0k would cross the line in 2nd place.

The IMCA Stock Car feature would be the last race of the evening at Seymour Speedway due to the stock car class being the only one with a dog show!

Bill would roll off in the 8th starting spot at the drop of the green. At this point in the night, the track has turned to a more dry slick, which the #0k car does not like even after the crew has made several major adjustments to the car.

Although the Kelsey Racing team would of liked to march forward, the car started to fade from the start.

A late race spin to avoid a wreck and the #0k would score a 12th place finish. Although Bill spun, he did not hit the #31 but was close.

There is a 3 car battle for the highest placing rookie in points and Bill is right in the mix of it! The #21 is 9th and Bill and the #17 are tied for 10th in the IMCA Stock Car points at Seymour Speedway with one night of IMCA points racing left.

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.

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.

The 2009 Racing season for the Kelsey Racing Team is about to get underway weather permitting this Sunday May 3, 2009 @ 6 PM at the Seymour Speedway in Seymour, Wisconsin.

You will find the Kelsey Coatings sponsored # 65 machine in a new class this year! The very exciting and action packed IMCA Stock Cars!
