Gracelynn Pitts Racing

It was a very long day at the THQMA Regional Event. Racing didn't start until 5:15 this evening due to the track work that needed to be done after all the rain we got Friday. The track crew gave us an awesome track to run on after all the work they put in. Gracelynn started 2nd and finished 2nd in Sr. Animal. That was enough to get us strait into the A main tomorrow. In her very first race in Lt. 160 I couldn't have been any happier with the way she drove. She was running a very hard race but ended up losing a chain and we couldn't get it back on in time for her to go back out. So tomorrow morning she will start with the C main in Lt. 160. We are looking forward to a Sunday of racing and thankful the drive home afterwards won't be a long one.

Wow! What a week it has been. Our racing in the Battle at the Brickyard has come to an end. But the memories we had there will certainly last forever. To be apart of the first ever Quarter Midget dirt race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was special. 500 cars were there to make that history. Gracelynn raced her heart out and drove harder than she had all season so far. Although we didn't make any transfers in the lower mains that doesn't reflect on how hard she drove. In both Sr. Honda and Sr. Animal she had transfer spots before being spun. But that's racing and it happens when you're racing hard and fighting for position. We can only hope to get the opportunity to race at IMS again one day.
