After a lot of thought and consideration we will not be at Linda’s Speedway Friday night. Also we will not be finishing out the year at Linda’s due to issues that we have been having all year long with personnel. If the track would like to speak to Jason directly you should already have his phone number that he has already tried to reach track management. We would have loved to race Friday due to it honoring the great Kevin Gobrecht and out of respect to the family. Good luck to everyone else who will be attending this race.

With that being said we are already preparing for next year, and will review track schedules, and talk with our sponsors on what our plans will be for next year.

Jason is not finished for the 2023 as the team will review tracks schedules for the remaining of the 2023 season. Look for more on Facebook and KlingerRacing.com for when Jason will be hitting the track again in the 88J micro.

This weekend for us was a long and very challenging one. Friday night at Linda’s Speedway Jason would find speed and finally get comfortable with the new car but only to have a junked car after another car would run up over his left rear and then flip on top of him. In the heat Jason started 3rd, and finished 2nd but was all over the leader trying to find a way around him. In the feature Jason would start 5 but on the start the right rear tire wouldn’t fire and fell back. Finally after a lap or 2 the car started to come on but he was driven over top of. Jason would restart only to have the top wing fold down, as he was looking at the top wing he would run into the back of the same car he got ran over by. Jason would be sent to the pits for the incident, and end up 19th.

Mason started out slow but got faster in his heat race. Mason would line up 5th and work his way up to 3rd only to be driven over by another car flipping over 3 times. Mason would be ok and ask if we could fix his car and get him back out for the feature. Thank you to everyone, Dave Radabaugh, Kenny Latz, and others that stopped to check on him or lent parts and helped in getting Mason’s car repaired and back out for the feature! Mason would start 7th and work his way up to 3rd only to be taken out two more times and the final accident would bent the right side nerf bar back into his right rear wheel locked it up. Mason would be forced to retire for the night, in 7th.

We are extremely proud of Mason pushing to get back out and finish the race! Mason is definitely a wheel man!

Mason has truly showed so much maturity today. He just keeps amazing us.

Really long weekend but we definitely learned somethings with Mason. His confidence got hit hard after the Saturday he had. Saturday in the heat he never took a lap after he got hit by 2 cars bending the right rear wheel and popping his chain off. We got it fixed for the feature and again a car got into him popping his chain off, then again, and then finally a third time breaking the master link. He would come back and finish 4th, but he finished the race and did not drop out.

Sunday his confidence was not good going into the day but he started 4th and would finish there. You could tell his confidence was not there when he would run up on the third place car he would back off and not try to get under or push the issue to get around the car. The feature he would start 4th and finish 5th. He did put down a very good line driving around the track but he was not his normal self. We will regroup and come back stronger. We have some parts to order and get his car fixed back up.

Thank you to everyone who helped us out this weekend. Our quarter midget group is second to none when it comes to helping these kids get back on the track!

Thank you,

If I forgot anyone who jumped in to help us I apologize, we all appreciate the help in the hot chute. There were so many people that jumped in right away to help Mason get back out on the track Saturday! Thank you again!

These shots that Steph Jones got of us is what makes all this worth it every week!

Mason: Today was a rough day of racing for mason.

Started 3rd in the heat, got taken out at the start. Unable to run heat due to damage then.

Started 5th in feature, problems kept occurring, finished 4th.

Mason stayed strong and never left anything bring him down.

We can not thank everyone enough who came over to help us keep mason on the track today. Back at this all day tomorrow.
