Da Boyz Racing

August 6 2022 - Race #4

We went racing in the inaugural Bridge City 200 on a great night at Sutherland Automotive Speedway! We’re a little behind schedule making this post, but we have good reason… I guess the now fiancé got a little distracted from her typical race team duties when our driver proposed a few days later 💍🍾 (obviously, she said yes)!

We had a decent day on the track, however, it was an extremely rocky start. Practice #1 the car was drivable but nothing special… Practice #2 it became apparent we had clutch issues (cue the first round of work). We pushed the car to pre-qualifying tech thinking we were good to go, but sadly more clutch issues popped up as soon as it left tech (cue round two of work). Thankfully, Trevor Emond had a spare clutch assembly waiting to be used and sent it our way.

We missed qualifying and our heat, but managed to get the car ready in time for the second heat. Not knowing how the car would perform, we ended up starting at the back of the fast heat and finishing 7th. In the feature, we fought our way up to 5th, but ended the race in 11th (still on the lead lap) after spinning out rushing to a restart and over driving the car. Congrats to Tyler, Jared and Kevin on finishing 1 through 3 in the big $10,000 TO WIN | Bridge City 200 Race Event

We’re doing some prep for the car to ensure it’s in tiptop shape and are excited to race this Friday! We hope to see you there!

A huge shoutout to everyone in the pits who pushed, fixed, tracked down parts, lent tools, and got us back out on the track. A special thank you to Robert Dyck of Big D Racing for all his help. You all made racing that night possible.

And last but not least, a big thank you to our sponsors for the 2022 season!

Season Opener - Sutherland Automotive Speedway:

The crew looked great, the car looked great, the driver was ready and the weather held out… unfortunately, the car was just a handful last night.

Kenny spent the whole night fighting for every inch he got. It was a long night for our driver who felt like he couldn’t find grip anywhere on the track.

Some adjustments and swapping out a tire through the night did lead to a P7 feature race finish. We have a good three weeks to fine tune and adjust for the next race of the season, and we’ll be ready!

A big thank you to our sponsors for the 2022 season!
