Hello race fans, been a tough couple weeks for the RBR team. We went to Martinsville for the biggest late model race of the year, 110 race cars trying for 42 spots. We did'nt qualify as well as we should and had to start 13th in our heat race. The top five advance to the feature, as you can see we had our work cut out for us. The RBR machine made to 8th,three spots short. We were disapionted but we learned some things that will help next time we go. Off to Greenville Pickens for the UARA race. We had a great car all day, set up a little loose for qaulifing so we would be just right for the race. We would start 11th and start is all we did. A huge wreck on the first lap ended our night. Oh well,Thats racin! Come see the RBR team November 3rd for the UARA race at Caraway Speedway. Till then, God bless!

Hey race fans I'm back. August 25th Myrtle Beach Speedway twin 50's. We qaulified 7th and moved to 6th in a uneventful race. Race car was a little to free, so Adam had some work to do for the next 50 laps. Started 6th and the race car was a little tight. A few laps in it was fast,close racing followed.We raced hard with Kenneth Headen, Brent Brinson and Robert Elliott. Came home 3rd. Pretty good night. September 1st, Tri County Motor Speedway, UARA STARS event. I've had this one circled on the calender for two months. We were pretty good in practice, but not exactly what I was looking for. Adam made a final adjustment late in practice and it really woke the #60 machine up. We qaulified on the pole. The race started and the first 3 cars wanted to race harder than I did at that piont, we settled into 4th and rode there for the first 75 laps. The #12 of B.J. Mackey was coming fast, so I decided it was time to go. Ten laps later we were in second. Jake Crum had moved out to a straight away lead, but we were reeling him in. Lap 90 saw a red flag condition. The #31 of Jr. Franks and the #84 of Clay Greenfeild got together on the back stretch with the #31 ended up on his roof. A couple of cautions later and about 30 laps and we were side by side with Crum. Cleared him with about 25 to go. Survived a green,white,checker finish and was in victory lane. The party was on! It was a big win for RBR. Next up is Martinsville. Talk to yall in a couple weeks,till then, God bless.

Whats up race fans! Sorry for not posting last week, but I,m going to get yall caught up. August 10th we were at Tri County Motor Speedway and what a race it was. The RBR machine was on the pole for the 75 lap main event. The action was furios from the drop of the green. Lap 10 saw a lead change with the #31 of Junior Franks getting by us after a restart, we repaid the favor about 10 laps later. Then we had the #11 of Bruce Green to contend with. He got around us and then the caution flag waved. Under caution the #11 passed the pace car, bad move. He was blacked flag and not very happpy about it. Parked his car on the front strech and got out! We were back in the lead. The next challenge came from the #7 of Ricky Bryant, we were able to hold him off. Mean while the #32 of Josh Goble had gotten to 2nd. After traded
some paint he got by us on the last lap,2nd by a fender. The crowd got there moneys worth. Two and wins and a 2nd in the last 3 weeks, not too bad. We were off to Hickory Motor Speedway Saturday night. After qauilfing 6th we wound up 5th after a battle with Kyle Moon saw a last lap pass. RBR is off to Myrtle Beach Speedway on the 25th. Come on down and spend a weekend at the beach, catch some good short track racing in the process.Till then God bless.

The action was fierce from the drop of the green,the #31 of Junoir Franks and the #7 of Ricky Bryant make contact early and the #31 spins. The officials blacked flagged the #7. The RBR Monte Carlo is looking good in 3rd spot. Back to green. We were able to get around the #21 of Monty Cox and were closing on the lead car #11 of Bruce Green. Meanwhile the #7 of Bryant was comimng fast. Lap 28 the #11 goes high in turn 2, allowing us and the #7 to get inside. Three wide off turn 2, we are able to take the lead.

Wow, were do I start? July 20th, Tri County Motor Speedway. We qualified 4th and quickly moved to 3rd, the race car got real tight and finished 6th. Which brings us to last weekend, a fantastic night it was. Twin 50 lap races on the schedule for Friday night. The first lap of qualifying is how you start the first race and the second lap the next race. We would start the first race 3rd and the next race 2nd. We ran 16.25 and a 16.16, Travis Swaim ran a 16.23 and 16.13. We missed our first pole by .o3 of a second. The green drops on the first race, we moved to 2nd and closed in on the leader quickly. We drove under the 21 of Swaim for the lead and then we made hard contact, sending the 60 machine heading for the inside wall. We lost several positions and bent something in the front end. We were done for that race, but still had one more to go. Starting 2nd, we were side by side with the leader by lap 3 and finally cleared him by lap 9. Great racing, we lead to the checkers. It was a great win, dedicated to my brother. Thanks to crew and family for their help and support. RBR will be back on August 3rd to defend, come on out and join us, till then God Bless.

Hey race fans, if you did'nt make it to Dillon Motor Speedway saturday night you missed a great race.RBR got off to bad start Qaulifing in 24th spot. We decided to work on the race car, which moved us back to 28th. Two laps in Brandon Dean spun us in turn one. I guess they don't call him " little hammer" for nothing. We soldiered on and came home 12th. Not exactly what me were looking for, but not to bad. Hopefully Tri County Motor Speedway will run Friday night and we will be there, if not look for us at Hickory Motor Speedway on Saturday night. Have a great week!
