LCR

Our 2025 race season is put to rest with awards banquets being done! First was Paducah International Raceway where we won the the Outlaw Non-wing points and tied for the Wing Outlaw points Championship!
Then we had the Southern Illinois Raceway banquet where we picked up the Non-Wing Championship!
It was a fun year with a lot of success. We hope to carry the momentum into the 2026 season! We want to give a huge shout out to our partners as they help us to compete at a higher level.
They have become a huge part of the LCR team!

What a wild way to wrap up the season! 🔥🏁

Since the last update, it’s been a roller coaster of hard luck, hard work, and some hurtles.

August 23: We had the lead in the heat race before a string of cautions, and a thrown chain ended our run early. Starting 14th in the feature, we took a wild ride flipping down the front stretch on the second attempt at the start. Not exactly how we wanted the night to end, but that’s racing.

September 6: We ran double duty, A-Class and Non-Wing. A-Class heat didn’t go as planned (6→6). In the feature we came alive, charging from 11th to 5th once the track widened out. Non-Wing was chaos: flipped through turn 1 while battling for 3rd, tagged the tail, and rallied from 21st to 8th! The car was a rocket, and I was determined to get back to the front!

September 20: Back at it with A-Class heat 6→5, Non-Wing 2→1. In A-Class we started 8th, battled through great side-by-side racing, and still pulled off 3rd even with a broken heim on the ladder late in the race. Non-Wing was clean and smooth for once we started 4th, finished 2nd, and finally shook the monkey off our back!

September 27: Focused on Non-Wing only. Won the heat 3→1 and led most of the feature before slipping to 2nd on a rough, caution-filled track. So close, but a strong night all around!

October 4: The grand finale! Started 7th in the heat, finished 5th, and rolled off 8th in the A. Took a hard hit early that broke the ladder out of the car — but we muscled through and held on for 7th place finish. Locking up the Southern Illinois Raceway 2025 Non-Wing Points Championship! 🏆💪

Couldn’t have asked for a better way to close it out.

First and foremost, thank God for keeping us safe and giving us the strength and opportunity to do what we love every week. Through Him and His Son, Jesus, we’re able to chase this dream. 🙏

Huge thanks to Chris Malugin and family for everything they do — I’m proud to represent Malugin Heating & Cooling and bring home results.
A big shoutout to Bob Gilbert and family for providing a fast, competitive A-Class car every weekend.
To Joe B Miller and the Speed Shack crew for the amazing power.

For the 2025 season, we made 23 features, picked up 7 wins, 14 top 5s, and 22 top 10s! Not bad for a season with its fair share of flips and fightbacks.

We couldn’t do this without our friends, family, and partners — you’re the reason we get to keep chasing checkered flags.

We’ve got big plans for next year, and you won’t want to miss what’s coming. Stay tuned — 2026 is going to be 🔥

Had a blast at Southern Illinois Raceway this weekend for the Prelude to the Sprague! 🔥

Track was hooked up and racing was intense all night. We started 5th in the heat and drove it up to 1st — car felt great and we were rolling! That put us starting 2nd in the feature, and we were able to take the lead and bring home the WIN!

Big thanks to everyone who helps make it happen — from the crew to the sponsors and fans in the stands. Love racing at SIR and proud to pick up another win at a track that always brings the competition. Let’s keep it rolling into Sprague weekend!
