Hey everyone! I’m sooooo excited because tomorrow is the first race of the season at Good’s Raceway! After two whole weeks of getting rained out at my favorite dirt track, I almost thought we’d have to wait forever. But the sun is finally coming out, the sky will be all blue, and I can’t wait to get back in the #11 car and kick up some dust!
I’ve been counting down the days like crazy. Every morning I wake up and check the weather—“Is it going to rain? Is it going to rain?!”—but nope, it’s all sunshine.
This year is going to be AWESOME not only because the racing starts, but also because it’s going to be summer soon! I can’t wait for vacations, and s’mores around the campfire. Racing and summer just go hand in hand!
I’ve also got my lucky racing socks ready and a brand-new notebook to write down lap times, pit crew jokes, and all the cool stuff that happens at the track. I might even start a “Race Day Snack Review” column—there’s nothing better than nachos and iced lemonade when you’re cheering from the grandstands!
It felt like our season was on hold, but now we’re blasting off into the start line faster than ever. See you at Good’s Raceway at 7 PM tomorrow—bring your noise makers, your signs, and your big smiles. Let’s make this the best season ever!
