Brenda Grubbs Racing Update

Race Results

The Atlanta National event was fun as numerous racers congratulated us on the recent Houston win. Unfortunately, the race results weren’t nearly as spectacular! Super Stock resulted in a first round loss and Stock, a second round loss.
The Topeka National event was another solid showing for the Super Stocker, making it to the quarter finals before losing to the event RU, Gary Stinnett. The Stocker didn’t make it to round one. During Class Eliminations, the motor came to a screeching halt a 7500 RPMs around the 1,000 foot mark. It was quickly determined the timing chain broke which is disappointing for a motor with limited runs.
The weather was typical Topeka. Friday was sunny and hot and Saturday and Sunday were rainy. The pros were able to get a few runs in over the weekend, however first round of Sportsman was held Monday morning. Thankfully, Brenda’s work schedule was flexible. Her flight to Minneapolis was rescheduled for the evening and meetings rescheduled for the next day. Bill, unfortunately, had to make the journey home alone, traveling late into the night to ensure he would make it to work later the next day. Sometimes, it’s hard to balance work and racing!

Schedule Update

Due to unexpected issues with the repair of the Stocker engine, the Tulsa Divisional scheduled for June was scratched. Great Bend, Kansas in September has now been added to the schedule. We hope to recap the repair in our next update after the engine is up and running.
