KJ Motorsports Update #24 Race #44 & #45 08/17/14 Friday we went to Legendary Hilltop Speedway and set 4th fastest time to start us on the outside pole of heat #2 beside Roy Roush. Roy took the lead on lap one, but we came back under him and passed him off of turn 4 and we went on the get the heat win. This started us beside Tyler Evans and we were able to get the jump on him off of turn 4 and we led the first 8 laps. But Tyler was strong on the bottom and passed us and I went to the high side and for several laps maintained with Tyler and was within striking distance if he were to bobble. But Tyler never bobbled and he went on to get the win and we finished 2nd. Respectable run for us and the car showed signs of improvement. Saturday we went to Skyline Speedway where there were 22 modifieds. We again set 4th fastest time and this started us beside fast qualifier Kyle Bond. At Skyline they swap the front row, so Kyle started the high side and he took the lead. We came back on Kyle and made a race out of it, but he got the heat win and we finished 2nd. This started us 4th in the feature. The track was good and slick and we made some set up changes before the feature. We jumped into 3rd running middle to high and was working on a good run until a caution came out. At Skyline they do what they call a Delaware restart, where the leader is out by himself, then 2nd place chooses high or low and 3rd goes to the opposite side. JP Roberts was running 2nd and he chose high, which forced us low. I did not think the low line would work for us, but we passed for 2nd and was not pressured the remainder of the race and we finished another 2nd, our 9th one of the year. I wanted to go back up top and see if I could catch Roy, but thought better of it, not knowing how close 3rd place was to me. All in all, pretty pleased with the weekend, but still lacking win #15. . . We’ll keep at it and try again next weekend!
