Sportsman Racing

To say that Evan’s first year behind the wheel of a stock car was “successful” would be more than an understatement.  This young man exceeded our rookie expectations week after week.  We loved our season in the Sportsman class in Owosso and learned so much there.  Such a great facility, friendly staff, and skilled competition.

We knew that to start out strong, we needed to get as much seat time as possible at every opportunity.  Evan was logging almost 100 laps of practice every week. Tuning the car, learning the track, and pushing the limits – challenging himself more every time. It definitely paid off as Evan lead the first 11 laps of the season opening feature!  A great start for this stock car rookie who didn’t even have his driver’s license yet…

Evan quickly found a way to get to the front almost every weekend.  Learning when it’s the right time to make his move to the front, and having the patience needed to be there at the end (even learning to repair his own car on the couple weekends when it didn’t work out).

Ending the season with a 2nd place overall finish in his class at Owosso – and the ‘Rookie of the Year’ award, Evan clearly showed that he has what it takes to give the next level of racing a solid shot.  So we decided to say goodbye to the Sportsman at the end of our rookie season, and take on the next challenge!

We’re pretty proud of the results below from our first season in a stock car…  Thanks to our team and ALL the awesome fans and support staff at Owosso Speedway that made it all happen!
