Race Number One Update

Wow!! Today couldn't have been better. We got up at 6:00am and had to be at the track by 8:15. It was cold and rainy. The car was unloaded and we waited...and waited..and waited..well finally Michael got to qualify. Out of 29 cars Michael qualified 20th.

All of a sudden it starts to rain. Wendell Scott Jr was suppose to be at the track around noon, but he got there just as it started to rain. We played in the rain a little. Michael and some of the guys actually did the YMCA song on the pitwall!!! It was soo funny I will have pictures up soon!!

Well then we went to eat at Applebees with the team and Wendell Scott Jr. Wow, the stories we were told!! Wendell Scott has definitely paved the way for Michael to race. We made Wendell's day by him seeing Michael's new fire suit! It has "In loving memory of Wendell Scott 34" on it. He said he was as honored as he was when he got the award from the White House. What an honor for Michael for him to say that! Michael even got to talk to Wendell's momma. She sounds like a Dream!! We cant wait to meet her!!

Well its midnight and we have a race tomorrow because we got rained out tonight. I will have a race report up as soon as I can.

Motor Mile Speedway Test Session

Hendry County Speedway for the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series

30 or so Latemodels were at Hendry County Speedway for the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series. Among them was 2008 Drive for Diversity Driver Michael Cherry. Fast Cherry got to the track around 3:30pm unloaded the car. Michael was in the 6th heat race and started 2nd. 3 laps in he had to pull into the pits. Something wasnt right with the car. We thought we had everything fixed ... But we were wrong.

Michael made it into the show anyways ... Started dead last - we all joked around saying he started -1 and he finished the race 17th. It was a long night. Michael drove half way home when finally he got to tired to drive then Ashlee took over. We got home around 3:00am. Well, it was actually 4:00am because of the time change. Sunday morning Michael got up and washed the car and we are getting ready for the next race...

Bon Voyage Fast Cherry

Tons of food, fun, and racing tales were told. Jimmy had cable TV installed under the massive oak out front, so everyone could watch the Las Vegas race. 4 time track champion Billy Costello came down from his Satsuma, Florida home to watch his best racing buddy packing up to take a shot at the next level.
