“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”
Proverbs 3:5
Yesterday serves as a reminder to all of us that we are never promised tomorrow. Life is so fragile, and that is part of what makes it so special. Embrace the journey; as Kyle said, you never know when it will be the last time. Hug a loved one, cherish the memories, and keep creating new ones.
One of my earliest racing memories was watching Kyle Busch dominate the 2008 Toyota SaveMart 350 at Sonoma Raceway. It was the first NASCAR Cup race I ever attended and a core memory I’ll never forget. I remember leaving the track so mad that he won. Not by anything he did, but the fact that he won, and he won a lot. Growing up a die-hard Jimmie Johnson fan, I now see the irony; nonetheless, I will be the first to admit that, growing up, I was not a Kyle Busch fan; however, the mark he left on the sport for those to follow will never be forgotten or surpassed. His talent was truly once-in-a-lifetime. Kyle’s impact in the short-track ranks and paving a pathway for younger drivers is what led to the success of many young and rising stars in today’s world. Kyle played an instrumental part in bringing attention to the West Coast bullrings and asphalt late model racing as a whole.
My prayers go out to the entire Busch family. Our sport may never be the same, but Kyle’s impact on it will never be forgotten.
Godspeed Rowdy.

Tree Top 150✅
A weekend that went up in smoke. We made some great changes during Friday and Saturday practice to get the car in a great spot for the 150-lap race. Unfortunately, I missed the race tire stagger we aimed for in qualifying, which set us back and forced us to race our way in, and we did! We managed to avoid some of the early carnage, but unfortunately, the transmission came apart on lap 45, ending our night early.
None of this would be possible without our amazing partners and supporters! A huge thanks to Quality Towing Inc., Goodyear Tire & Automotive Center of South Hill Puyallup, and REVUP Energy for their continued season-long support and Elevate Racing Media for all the killer photos! Also, a big thank you to JJ Hamilton and Jason for driving over to help turn some wrenches!
We’ll be back in action in 6 weeks in Stateline, Idaho, for the Road to the 200, where we’ll get to race against NASCAR Cup Champion Kevin Harvick!

P11 at Apple Cup.
Thank you to the Cars Tour West and Tri-Cities Raceway for putting on one heck of an event in front of a SOLD OUT Tri-Cities crowd!
Although the finish isn't what we hoped for in the end, we had good speed, and I learned a ton about myself as a driver. The race unfortunately didn’t fall our way, and I made a couple of mistakes that ruined our chances of what would have been a really solid day. I’ll learn from it and be better for it.
As always, a huge thanks to Quality Towing Inc., Goodyear Tire & Automotive Center of South Hill Puyallup, and REVUP Energy for all of their continued season-long support none of this would be possible without you! Another huge thanks, Nat Barber, for helping all day at the track on Saturday, and Andy Sole for spotting for me on super late notice.
See y’all in a couple weeks at Wenatchee🤠
Tomorrow we race.
