It has been a very busy week for Kevin Ward Jr. and his
Westward Paining Sprint Car team. They
traveled to Thorold, Ontario’s Merrittville Speedway on Saturday night and then
on the Utica Rome Speedway on Sunday.
Their action packed schedule continued on Tuesday night at Rolling
Wheels Raceway Park in Elbridge, New York.
The first half of the 2012 season has been a struggle for
Ward Jr. highlighted by just one top five finish last month at Autodrome
Granby. With a busy schedule in July,
the team hopes to be able to turn things around with some solid finishes, and
build some momentum as they enter the second half of 2012.
Kevin Ward Jr. made his first ever appearance at
Merrittville Speedway on Saturday night, and the lack of experience was evident
in the early going on one of the most difficult tracks on the tour. Ward finished the race with a disappointing
24th place finish.
After leaving Canada, Ward Jr. made his way to Utica Rome
Speedway for the next race on the schedule with the Empire Super Sprints. He finished fourth in his qualifying heat,
and had a solid run in the A-main, placing ninth.
Rolling Wheels Raceway was next on the schedule, and Kevin
was looking to build on their top ten finish from the previous night. He qualified for the A-main through his
qualifying heat race with a fifth place finish, but he struggled to a 19th
place finish.
This coming weekend Kevin Ward Jr. will be back in action
for the SUNY Canton Weekend with races on Friday night at Mohawk International
Raceway in Hogansburg, New York, and Saturday night at Chapman’s Can Am
Motorsports Park in Lafargeville.
Kevin Ward Jr. would like to thank all of his sponsors for
their support during the 2012 racing season.
They include Westward Painting, Tioga Construction, Sherwin Williams,
Lyons Falls Tire Inc., Young’s Auto Parts/Carquest, Cash for Cans, and Finish
Line Web Design.
