Bailey Wins States Race at I-70

Saturday started off with qualifying, Bailey qualified 2nd in the Jr. Stock, 2nd in the Lt. B, and 3rd in the Lt. 160 (out of 24) in her third time running the car. Sunday brought sun shine and A Main day. Since states races are run in Grands format, the starting grid line up was inverted. Bailey started 3rd in the Jr. Stock, 2nd in the Lt. B, and 3rd in the Lt. 160. The Jr. Stock race was first up, Bailey got off to a great start and never looked back, taking the lead on lap 1 and leading the next 30 laps for the win. Next up was the Lt. B race, 40 more laps. Bailey had an outside starting position which is always a bad place to be, she ran with Tanner Reed from the Terre Haute Club side by side on the outside for about four laps before finally taking the lead. She ran in the lead for about 15 laps before she spun herself out between turns one and two. Restarted at the tail, a spin for Evan Turner from CCQMA lead to a pile up of Bailey, Evan, and Jordyn Scott (THQMA), damaging Bailey's front suspension, axel, shock, and spindel. The next restart Bailey was back on the gas but ended up pulling off the track for a 3rd place finish due to the front end damage. Thank goodness all drivers were safe. The Lt. 160 brought another 40 laps of nail bitting racing. Dad changed the gear right before the race started, should have left it alone. Bailey slowly went backwards ending up in 8th place. All in all it was a good day. Great Job Bailey!
