Walsh Racecraft

Unfortunately that beautiful Black and Yellow, Swords Mobile Detail, HM Prestige General Contractors, Metal Masters, and Johns Race Engines #4 Machine will be down another race for next week. We appreciate all of our sponsors, crew, and fans for sticking patient with us! Good luck to all our competitors.

In honor of not racing this weekend and getting a plethora of help, we at Walsh Racecraft would love to give some major thanks to some folks and great businesses!

First things first would love to Thank R & R speedshop for making sure we can get parts in promptly to help button this thing up! Kevin has been fantastic and they are some of the most sincere people! We also would love to Thank Mr. John Thomas and James Bagwell at Johns race Engines for absolutely continuing to put this new beautiful Race Engine together! We would also love to give Austin Finley at Metal Masters a huge shoutout for helping us getting this thing back to spec and all the fabrication work he is having to do! We love having a great teammate like him on our side!

Would also love to say a special thanks to the chiefs! Dad has absolutely held this program together without him there would be no Walsh Racecraft. Not only is he a great crew chief he pushes me to be a better person! Doug has been an absolute game changer and he doesn’t have to but he does!! Doug will get off work and come down to repair or spot no problem!

I also would like tell the crew to enjoy their weekend cause they damn sure deserve it!! Without yall nothing is possible!

We would also like to thank our sponsors for the continued support!!

We apologize to our fans, Walsh Racecraft will not make it to the race this weekend.

Sorry for the late post:

Just wanted to give a huge thank you to Mr. Doug Emerson and the Walsh Racecraft Crew! Doug, without you and there was no way we would have gotten that Racecar buttoned up after hitting the wall without you! Doug, dad, and the crew got that thing as close as possible after that good lick to the wall! Great job!! These guys also put in a ton of work before race day as well!

Thanks to Mr. John Thomas at Johns Race Engines and Mr. Cole Bagley, they were able to get our engine with some major Issues resolved a few weeks Prior! I know we are very excited about the new engine they are building us as well! Congrats to Mr. John Thomas on the well deserved win and Mr. Cole Bagwell on driving the wheels off your super stock!

We may have not necessarily got the result we wanted but after a day of Mishaps (and a slightly bent frame) we were able to finish the race. The car would gradually get looser coming off the corner this eventually would cause me to get very loose and get into Mr. John Campbell and lose the 3rd position (Sorry John, great driving and complete wreck avoidance). That itself was a win in our book that we were able to finish the race alongside all our competitors. Congrats to Mr. Taylor Graham on the win and Mr. Terry Ledbetter on the second place finish with a great race!

Probably the question most want answered - Why we smacked the wall:

When we installed these new racing pads (Some of the best you can get), we forgot to take all the Brake Bias out of the front brakes that we put in to compensate for wore down stock pads. When this happened, these brakes were so good that when we went into the first Corner at speed they locked up and we were headed straight into the wall and there was nothing that could be done at that point. Once we hit the wall the car had a “Pinball” effect and came down to hit the inner wall. Thankfully everyone was okay and everyone started the race.

See yall @ Huntsville Speedway , 7pm #4🏁

Watch out quarter midgets! Two more Walsh boys will be ready to hit the track in the 2027 season🏎️🏁!
