The Time Slip
Volume 11, Final Issue
Year in Review
December 2022
2022 was a good year for Brenda Grubbs Motorsports. The year started with a semi final finish in Super Stock at the Belle Rose Divisional. Unfortunately, Brenda went -.001 red against Harvey (Speedy) Emmons. After Belle Rose, the team headed to the Baby Gators where Brenda secured the Stock Class Win in AA/SA for the second year in a row.
A few months later, Brenda found herself paired up again with Harvey (Speedy) Emmons. This time, it was the Super Stock final round at the Houston National Event. Brenda had a great .002 light; however, the car didn’t run the number and Speedy got the win. The final round was special as it was the last NHRA National event at Houston Raceway Park, Brenda’s home track. Houston Raceway Park is also where Brenda secured her first Super Stock NHRA National Event Win, back in 2018.
In July, the team headed to Denver, which is one of Brenda’s favorite tracks as it is where she secured her very first NHRA National Event win. This past summer, Brenda got close to another win, losing in the Stock Semi Finals.
In the fall, the team headed to Indy. This was only the second time racing at Indy and Brenda found success, securing the SS/BA Class Win!
PRI Show
Unfortunately, the team had to miss the PRI Show this year. December is a busy time of year for Bill’s work schedule and Brenda moved to a new job at General Mills. Brenda and Bill missed seeing their partners and thanking them in person for their continued support.
Travels with Brenda’s latest feature was Top Sportsman standout, Vince Hoda and his wife, Super Street racer, Morgan. For Brenda it was an honor to tell the story of a unique husband and wife team.
As always more stories are in development.
