Rug Ratz Racing- Slick Nick

🏁 Auburndale Speedway Race Recap 🏁
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to race at Auburndale Speedway behind the wheel of Jesse Martinez's #5 car. Even though it was a car I had never driven before, we showed speed right away and were fast in the first round of practice.
Qualifying took place during the second practice session, and I was able to put down a great lap and set Fast Time! 🏆
Unfortunately, when race time came around, things didn't go the way I had hoped. I tried the outside lane early, and between a caution and finding myself on the outside during a three-wide battle, I ended up falling to the back of the field.
To make matters worse, the scheduled 30-lap feature was shortened and ended after just 25 laps. I was definitely bummed about that because I truly believe we had the speed to make up several more positions if we had gotten those final laps. But that's racing, and sometimes things just don't go your way.
While it wasn't the result I wanted, I had an absolute blast driving the car and gained valuable experience. Congratulations to Bryson on the win! 👏
Now my focus shifts to spending the summer in North Carolina, and I'm excited to get after it all summer long! 💪🏁
A huge thank you to everyone who makes this possible:

We were going to take the weekend off but instead Slick Nick will be piloting the number 5 Jesse Martinez Legend car today here at Auburndale Speedway with JLM Motorsports

This one is tough. What a talent gone to soon. Our prayers are with the whole family especially his wife and two kids. He was a hell of a driver!! 🙏

We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old.

We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.
