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.
