Not a decision we agree with, but race day was canceled due to “weather.” ☔️🏁

While racing was put on hold, the kids made the most of it by helping out in the snack shack selling candy with big smiles. Meanwhile, Dad was out on the track doing everything he could to dry it off and get things race-ready.

Our biggest race fan has news too good not to share — Mr. Red officially crossed his own checkered line today as he completed his very last radiation treatment.

Battling cancer is one of the hardest races anyone could ever face, and we could not be more proud of the strength, courage, and determination he has shown through every lap of this journey. Watching him fight for better health with so much faith and perseverance has been incredibly inspiring to our whole family.

Back in April, Grady traveled out to support his Granddaddy Red during the beginning of treatments. We flew home and headed straight to Grady’s charity race, where Grady raced with his granddaddy heavy on his heart. After bringing home a podium win, there was no question who that trophy belonged to. Grady proudly gifted his winning trophy to Granddaddy Red to celebrate his strength, his fight, and this incredible milestone in recovery.

Today is more than just the end of radiation treatments — it’s a celebration of resilience, hope, and the people who stand beside us through life’s toughest moments.

We know this journey is not over yet, and we would appreciate continued prayers as we move into this next chapter of healing and recovery.

One race at a time. One lap at a time.

Congratulations, Mr. Granddaddy Red, on such a huge accomplishment today. We love you and are so proud of you! ❤️🏁

We’re excited to announce the release of Grady’s newest car — the Jr 160, proudly sponsored by The Smart Haul!

This will be Grady’s rookie season in the Jr 160 division, and he is beyond excited for this new opportunity and eager to gain more experience on the track.

Grady will also continue racing as an experienced driver in both his Jr Honda and Jr Animal classes. So what makes the Jr 160 division different?

It’s all about SPEED!
The Jr 160 accelerates quicker than his other cars and reaches even faster speeds on the track. This will continue Grady’s growth as a driver, helping him to become more technically sound and smooth behind the wheel!

We’re looking forward to a fast and exciting season ahead! Be sure to check out our season schedule and come see this car in action. Admission is free!

We are beyond heartbroken to hear about Kyle Busch. Many prayers to his family during this incredibly difficult time.

Kyle’s M&M car is what started it all for Grady. From the moment he saw that bright yellow car fly around the track, he was hooked. Kyle became more than just a driver he cheered for — he became the reason Grady fell in love with racing and started dreaming of one day driving himself.

For years, Kyle has been a huge part of our family’s racing memories, and we will forever be grateful for the inspiration, excitement, and passion he gave Grady. It’s hard to put into words how devastating this news feels.

Our hearts are with his loved ones, his team, and every fan grieving this tremendous loss. He made an impact on so many lives and his legacy will continue through every young racer he inspired along the way.
