Come see us at the River Pub & Grill for some Fish and Chips with a local pint!! Yours truly behind the bar!!!
Championship night recap...(little late sorry).
Started 6th in the heat race, 5 to qualify and we ended up 3rd. On to the feature we started 14th. Ran caution free for 30 laps and raced up to 8th. I think everyone was hoping for a caution but it just didn’t happen. Thank you to everyone for a great season and congrats to Timmy!

The Slate Valley 100 (40 for us) was a great night. Turned the fastest time in hot laps and felt like we had a great car going into the event. Started 2nd in the heat and finished 3rd after trying some different lanes. The top 3 went to the redraw where we drew 5th. Stayed inside the top 5 the entire race. Worked the way up to second and took the lead on a restart from the bottom but a quick caution with no lap completed put us back 2nd. The 51 chose the inside lane and we went back to 23 laps of green flag racing. Fell back to 4th and made a last lap pass in turn 4 to finish 3rd. Looking forward to championship race Saturday! We know it’s said a lot but wouldn’t be where we are without all of our sponsors.

Saturday night was a steady night for VQ2. Qualified through heat race and started 13th in feature. Gained 8 positions to get to 5th on lap 29. Final lap thought a car in front was going to spin out so checked up lost the nose of car and two positions to finish 7th.
With 2 races left in the season and no positions in points to really be gained or lost we will play around with the set up and tweak some things. As always we wouldn’t be where we are without all the help from our sponsors, crew, and fans.

A missed setup for the heat race had us failing to qualify for the handicapped top 15. Adjustments were made and we started the feature 17th. Lots of green flag racing, broke the top 10 shortly after half way. Raced back and forth for 8th and 9th place and ultimately ended the night in 9th. Only Two weeks left of racing🏁

Vermont 200 recap!! 🏁
The weekend started off well. Saturday was just a fine tuning day after running a few hot laps and practice. Got the car where we wanted and called it a night.
Sunday started off even better. Timed 4th fasted in our time trial group which lined us up 4th in heat #1. Jumped right up to 3rd and that’s where we finished. Top 2 out of the heats went to the redraw so we were slated to start 13th in the feature. Lots of time between the first heat and the feature allowed the team to make several adjustments for the changing track conditions throughout the day and weather changes. Feature line up came out and the 78 lined up 12th due to a car voluntarily going to the tail. During the first 101 laps the car made its way back to 21st and as high up as 12th, where he finished the first half. During the halfway mark a few more adjustments were made and VQ2 came out with a great car. Raced his way up to 7th when he pitted on lap 132 thinking the right rear tire was loosing air. After 20 laps and realizing the track conditions were against us and the payoff the same up to 15th (so nothing to gain) VQ2 parked the car for last 50 laps to help save the car in hopes of making a run at the championship the last 3 weeks. Although it wasn’t the finish we were hoping for very happy with the car and had a great weekend.
Of course thank you to our continued support from the sponsors

Another good Saturday night. Took an early lead in the heat race and won that. Started the feature 10th. Two quick cautions and careful driving had VQ2 in the top 5 by lap 3 where he maintained for the rest of the race. Had some good racing and ran 4th for quite awhile. A crossover in turn 2 of the last lap had VQ2 3rd at the checkered flag. Happy with the car and set up this weekend and looking forward to the Vermont 200. As always can’t thank the sponsors enough.

Well double stacked night didn’t go exactly as we hoped but it wasn’t all bad. In feature #1 we were running in third when we were involved in a pileup on a bad restart on lap 7. Heavy rear end damage had all hands on deck working on the car to complete it just before hot laps and we were ready for feature #2. A few bad weeks in a row had us handicapped for an outside pole starting position. We battled for the lead between the 66 and then the 13. Unfortunately lots of cautions in the 25 laps just kept VQ2 from finding his groove and we ended the night with a 2nd place finish.
Special thanks to the crew and everyone else who helped with the car to get it fixed so quickly. Big thanks to our sponsors

Well Saturday night definitely didn’t go as planned. Qualified in the heat race. Started 11th in the 30 lap feature. Had some good laps and some not so great laps but avoided a few wrecks too. Drove up to 10th position by lap 19 when the brand new U joint to the drive shaft broke.
Another week in the race shop fixing things and going over the car to try and figure out the right setup. Looking foward to the double header this weekend. Regular lineup Saturday night and the Battle at the Bowl Sunday.
I know we thank the sponsors every week but we really could not be where we are without them!

Saturday night race recap. Started 6th in heat 1 and finished 4th. The feature lineup was handicapped so we started 13th in the field. It was a two steps forward one step back kind of night. At one point we were back to 16th and as high up as 6th. Finished the night solid in 8th place with the car in one piece. Congrats to Justin and Todd Stone and G. Stone Motorsports for finishing 1st and 2nd. Will we be busy going over this car as well as continuing to work on the TD5. Thanks again to all the sponsors who are continuing to make this year great for the 78.

Not the finish we were hoping for but everyone has a rough night. Started deep in the field, caution on lap one and then went green until lap 29. In that timeframe we made it up to 11th. Green, white, checkers restart and we were up to 9th when we spun out in turn 3 and 4. Ended up 21st. Good news is we still have half a season left. We would also like to welcome our newest sponsor to VQ2 racing Vermont Shade and Blind. Thanks again to all the sponsors making everything possible.

The team had another successful weekend at the track. We completed the install of a new body and graphics package last week, thanks to Winning Image Graphix for the awesome design! Vince started 6th in the heat race, and worked his way up to finish 2nd. A few adjustments were made for the feature, and we started 15th. VQ2 made his way up to 2nd, but the setup was just a bit off, and we had to settle with a 5th place finish. The crew will continue working to complete the new TD5 this week, as well as get the TD1 ready for double points this weekend!

As always, we appreciate our sponsors!!
