We’re learning that in racing, the more you figure out, the more you realize just how much there is left to learn. Every lap teaches you something — especially when things don’t go as planned.
This week, we made a different call: rather than starting tail in the feature, we chose to line up #10, at the end of the handicap—right where Anthony qualified. Starting mid-pack in a 17-car field wasn’t even on our radar back in May, and now, it’s a testament to how much confidence he’s gained in just a few short months.
We weren’t racing the previous week, but that didn’t mean we were resting. The car went to the Pearl family, who went through it bumper to bumper and gave us invaluable feedback—what we need to start doing, keep doing, and watch for in the future. Jeff put in countless hours working on the car, and on race day, Jerry was at the track offering Anthony guidance from the moment we unloaded. The knowledge this racing family has—and shares—is incredible. We’re beyond grateful for the baseline they’ve helped us establish. It’s a gift.
As Anthony continues adjusting to the car, he’s gaining a sharper sense of what he wants it to do on track. He’s still learning how to make those adjustments a reality, and while that can be frustrating at times, he knows the car has serious power. He proved it this week with his fastest lap yet: 15.318.
Patience, perseverance, and setup tweaks—it’s all part of the ride. Watching Anthony battle side by side with seasoned racers is a sight we’ll never get tired of. This first-year journey has been wild, and we’re so thankful to our sponsors for making it possible. We’re not just building speed—we’re building memories, as a family.
