Elkins speedway, Wv – May 11 2012

May 14th, 2012

Mason and his crew made their way to Elkins Speedway Friday night for an exciting  night of racing. In hot laps Mason brought in the fastest times on the stopwatch letting everybody aware of his presence. Masons heat race was a good one as he was able to walk away with a sizable win! Stretching his lead into an entire straight away.  Going into the main event Mason was running in the third position, on the third caution Mason had two competitors drive under the back of his car on the restart upsetting the car and causing the quarter panel to rub the right rear tire  taking away alot of its surface. Needless to say Mason was still able to come away with a sixth place finish Friday night at Elkins Raceway. The 25z, CMG Commonwealth Marketing Group, ISI Insurance Agency, Budweiser, USA Credit, Lepley Horse Shoeing, Old Mill Farms, HTMA Hoosier, Rocket Chassis late model will appear next at tyler county speedway for the 5,000 to win topless 50. Again Mason and his crew would like to thank all their sponsors for making all of this possible!

Bedford Speedway, Md April 27 2012

April 29th, 2012
Friday Night Mason and his crew made their way to the 1/2 mile oval Bedford Speedway in Bedford PA. The Night started out bad when Mason Broke a rear end in hot laps. Mason and his crew rushed to get the spare car out and with a little help were able to get it ready for the heat race. Mason was forced to start last on the grid for the heat race. It wasn’t long before Mason was charging through the pack making it work on the topside, with the white flag waving and Mason entered turn four for the checkered flag and the right rear tire exploded, ripping the entire right side off the car. The crew struggled to get the car back together for the feature but were able to do so. Mason once again had to start in the last position. After a few laps in the books Mason was once again forced to pull off the track due to internal problems resulting from the incident during the heat race. Overall a very long stressful night for MZR but will be ready for next week!

Tyler County Speedway, WV March 31, 2012

April 5th, 2012
Saturday night Mason and his crew made their way to Tyler County Speedway for their second ever appearance for an action packed night of racing. The night started off great with Mason in the books as the fastest car in hot laps. Just before the heat race began crew chief Dan Lepley noticed a knocking/awkward sound in the motor and did not risk hurting the motor by running the heat race. The crew immediately rolled the backup car out and began getting it ready for the B Main. Since Mason was not able to run his heat race, he was forced to start last in the B Main. He managed to come from 13th to finish 2nd . Which transferred him into the Main event which was only starting twenty cars. Starting in the 18th position Mason was able to make his way up to the 8th position to finish the night. Mason managed to pass more cars Saturday night than any car in the main event. The 25z, CMG Commonwealth Marketing Group, ISI Insurance Agency, Budweiser, USA Credit, Lepley Horse Shoeing, Old Mill Farms, Hoosier Mid Atlantic, MS Shock Therapy and Rocket Chassis late model will appear next at Roaring Knob Motorsports complex in Farmington Pa Saturday night!
