Bailey Goldesberry Wins at I-70

8 year old Bailey Goldesberry out of Springfield, IL traveled up to Greenville, IL this past weekend to race on the pavement with the QMA. She competed in two classes including the Junior Honda class and the Light 160 class and was certainly no stranger to the facility as she placed second in the March Madness earlier in the year. The format for the QMA is to run two heat races in which the lineups are inverted and then the average finish of the heats determines your starting position for the main event. Bailey started third in the first heat race of the Light 160 class and as she made her way up to the number two spot, the chain broke on the quarter midget and Bailey was forced a DNF. Father Merle fixed the racer and got young Goldesberry back on the track for the second heat. She took the lead on lap eight and paved the way to the checkered to win the second heat in the Lights 160. The main event was definitely a sight to see as Bailey took the lead on the third lap after starting on the inside of the second row and then was able to lap the entire field up to second and earn the 1st place trophy.

The other class Bailey competed in was with the Junior Honda’s. She finished second in both heats to give her a nice starting position for the main event and then she ran towards the front throughout the main until the ninth lap where she fell back to 7th. Gathering the machine and putting the elbows up, Bailey was able to race back inside the podium and finish in the third position.

Be sure to watch this young lady as she will definitely be one to follow throughout her racing career and you can do that through the new team website, www.baileygoldesberry.com Special thanks to Fibertech Racing, Bullrider Race Cars, Mostek Racing Engines, Goldesberry Signs & Designs, Advance Racing Shocks, Simpson Racing Products, Scott Performace Company, QA1, A-Main Motors, Goodridge Hose & Fittings, Union Boiler Maker Gear and Driver Websites.com
