Highs and Lows at Show-Me Showdown

Laney raced in the Show Me Showdown this past 4th of July weekend and has a lot to be proud of. 

Friday night he ran restrictor class and secured his position in Sunday night’s A Main.

Saturday night he ran A class and started 5th in his heat race.   After a few laps he was getting ready to race for the lead with our friend, Nick Schaeffer, when Nick’s car shut down.  Laney was close on his bumper so they both went into the infield.   Laney would have a place somewhere in the B Main on Sunday night.  THE JURY IS STILL OUT IF WE ARE STILL BUDDIES WITH NICK & GRANT!  WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE!!!! lol!

Sunday night Laney ran his A Class B Main starting in I think the 11th position.  Laney would drive into a 4th place transfer spot after a tough battle with Haley Witcher.  Laney then ran his A Main restrictor plate race.  He was racing for 5th place after starting 9th when another car dove underneath him in the corner and ran over his left rear tire.  That car spun and Laney kept going, however that incident knocked the front nose wing loose on the car and the official made him pull to the infield.  Laney was not a happy camper.  Immediately following that race was the A Class A Main that he had raced his way into.  A big thanks to all the hands who pitched in to get him ready for that race!  Also thanks to the track who gave him time to make it.  Laney had a good run going when Lanny noticed his chain was loose.  Rather than to ruin a motor Lanny had Laney pull into the infield.  It was a fun, wild weekend!
