Another Champ 440 win...

Another race in the books and only one left to go for the year. We were shorted a racing weekend when the race in Grey Eagle, MN was cancelled two weekends ago due to unsafe ice conditions. This past weekend the team and I raced in Garrison, MN on Mille Lacs Lake. Two days of racing was planned but because of low entries in Pro Open that class was cancelled for Saturday. I used that day and ran lap’s in the semi pro champ class to use as testing. We tested all day on Saturday with different ideas and things we wanted to try but don't like to try when racing.

Sunday we raced in the Pro Champ 440 class. I had a 1st, 2nd and 1st place finish in the qualifying rounds. I was top qualifier for the 12 lap final.

I did not have that great of a hole shot but came out of turns one and two in second position. We battled with the leader for about 5 laps when I made the pass for the lead. I crossed the finish line in first for our 8th feature win of the season.

Next weekend we head to Beausejour, Manitoba for the final race of the season. I won this event last season and look forward to defending the title. I will have testing on Friday and will be running in champ 440 classes, on both Saturday and Sunday.

Thank you goes out to my crew, sponsors, family, friends and fans for there continued support. This has been a great season and hope to make it a little better this coming weekend. The final newsletter will be delayed a week because I will be leaving early on Monday morning for the Arctic Cat dealer show in Nashville, TN. This is a great opportunity for my sponsors to get added exposure with my sled being on display to hundreds of Arctic Cat dealers. Thanks again and take care!
