May 28, 2010 - 4th place at Boyd's VRS race

Mike headed back to Boyd's Speedway for the second Volunteer Racing Series event of the season. In the earlier VRS race, also at Boyd's, Mike suffered a penalty when tires were deemed to be too soft for competition per series rules. Mike was ready to redeem himself.

Just like the previous VRS outing, Mike set fast time at Boyd's. Mike's time of 13.536 seconds topped the 30 cars vying for a spot in the 40-lap race.

In heat race action, outside polesitter Randy Weaver got the preferred line going into turn 1 and took the lead. Weaver won the heat and Mike finished second to take the 4th starting spot.

Mike and Tommy Kerr would battle it out for the 4th spot. Kerr finally claimed the spot near the halfway point in the race. Mike and all other cars still remaining on the track picked up a spot as race leader Weaver dropped out of the race on lap 29. Mike held onto the 4th spot.


May 29, 2010 - Third place finish at North Georgia

Memorial Day weekend wrapped up with the second race of a doubleheader with the Volunteer Racing Series. The race was at North Georgia Speedway.

Twenty-nine cars took time at the 1/3-mile track. Mike was one of the top 5 qualifiers and found himself on the front row of one of three heat races. Mike won his heat to earn the 3rd starting spot for the 40-lap race.

In the main event, Ronnie Johnson and Randy Weaver duked it out for the lead. Tony Knowles got by Mike for a position. Later on Billy Ogle Jr. also got by. But Mike maintained 5th place and had a solid points night. Mike now sits in 4th in the series standings just 40 points out of first place.

Mike will be headed back to Tazewell Speedway for the Lucas Oil Late Model Series race on Friday night.


June 4, 2010 - Disappointment at Tazewell

Tazewell Speedway has become one of Mike's favorite tracks. With a Lucas Oil race scheduled at Tazewell, Mike decided it was time to run with the series as they visited Tazewell.

Mike won his B-main race to make the starting grid for the 75-lap feature. Mike looked to be making some ground early in the race, but smoke began to pour from underneath the hood of his #22 Trak-Star. Mike parked his car for the night. It was feared to be an engine problem. But a closer inspection revealed a failed fitting on the power streering pump caused fluid to be dumped on the engine.

Mike's plans for June 12 are undecided at this time.

June 12, 2010 - The Mountain takes a bite

A rare visit to Mountain Raceway was on tap for Mike Weeks and his raceteam as the Southern All-Stars came in to town for their annual visit.

Mike posted the 5th best starting time for the 50-lap race. Mike quickly moved up and found himself running in 3rd place. Track conditions were rough and took a toll on the field. It eventually got Mike. Something in the engine broke while running in 3rd place. Mike was done for the evening and was credited with a 13th place finish. Only 5 cars finished the race.

Because of the rough conditions at MRP, Mike has decided to take this weekend off to closely examine his car before next weekend's VRS doubleheader in Kentucky.

June 27, 2010 - New points leader after second place finish

Mike Weeks climbed to the top of the Volunteer Racing Series point standings after two races in Kentucky over the weekend.

Race #1 was at Ponderosa Speedway in Junction City, Kentucky. It was Mike's first trip to the bullring. Mike managed a 13th place finish in the 40-lap race.

Race #2 was at Lake Cumberland Speedway in Burnside, Kentucky. Mike raced there earlier this year and the earlier trip paid off. Mike set fast time, but finished second in his heat to start the 40-lap race in 4th. But Mike moved his way to second behind Justin Rattliff. Mike finished the race in second and also took over the VRS points lead.

Mike will be back in action on Sunday, July 4 at Green Valley Speedway for the next VRS event.

July 5, 2010 - Mike rallies for 13th place finish

A thirteenth place finish may not seem like much, but it was for Mike Weeks at Green Valley Speedway.

Mike struggled all night. He failed to make the show through heats and B-mains. But as the points leader, Mike used a VRS provisional to start the race. Mike sliced and diced his way to move up to the 13th. Mike still maintains the points lead in the VRS standings.

July 18, 2010 - Good run ends in disappointment

It was time to do some racing with the Southern All-Stars at Boyd's Speedway and Cleveland Speedway.

A late afternoon shower delayed things at Boyd's, but the track was in excellent shape when racing started. Mike posted the 6th fastest time during qualifying. When the 40-lap race started, Mike quickly showed he would be in the mix for the win. He moved up to third place with the front two in sight until a problem surfaced. A broken rocker arm in the engine ended his night. Mike had broken another rocker arm during qualifying. Because of that, the team opted to skip Cleveland and a new set of rocker arms have been ordered.

Mike will be at Tazewell Speedway this Saturday for the final race of the Southern Nationals.

July 27, 2010 - A 13th place finish at North Georgia

A last minute schedule change for Mike Weeks and team as they opted to go to North Georgia Speedway for a SRRS race. A good field of cars was on hand for the race.

After the 40-lap race was over, Mike mustered a 13th place finish. Mike was using the race as a tune-up for some upcoming VRS races later in the year. Mike's plans for this weekend are undecided.
