Be sure to come down to WIR this Thursday night July 2nd and watch the current 2nd place #36 MCL Racing Team try to close in on the point leader!!!

Along with some great racing action, there will be a fireworks show to follow the races that night! Be sure to bring the kids for an exciting night of racing and a free fireworks show!!!

Come down to the pits after all the dust settles and they can sit in the #36 Car and you can take pictures to capture the great memories!

BIG thanks to Don & Jared Schuette from Welding Works, long time sponsor of the #36 Team, for all their hard work on our new fuel cell… We purchased a used fuel cell from DEI (Dale Earnhardt Incorporated) a few weeks ago and Don & Jared made an awesome mounting system for it so it would fit in our car. We will have it bolted in place and hopefully adding to our whole package to compete with the top dogs at the top of the point standings.

See you all Thursday… 7:00

Another great night of racing riddled with new career Highs for the #36 MCL Team…

We finally cracked a good qualifying time and had a new Late Model Career high 3rd place qualifying effort… Making the fast Dash…

We put on one heck of a show racing with current point leader JVO in the dash, racing wheel to wheel passing him on the outside lane, then 2 laps later he snuck back to the inside of us and passed us on the last corner coming to the checkers, putting us 4th in the dash…

We started fairly far back in the Feature in the 6th row… We had some trouble in the race, but managed to salvage a top 10 and finished 9th overall. Half way through the race, my radio came unplugged from my helmet. Well to say that caused some major headaches is an understatement. Our speeds on the backstretch come close to 130 mph and I have no mirror in the car, 100% relying on spotter Billy Gee's communications. Without that, we were only average for 10 laps until I could find the plug and get it plugged back in the helmet. We lost a half a straightaway on the pack during that time. We really needed a yellow flag, but of course, none to be found. We caught the pack on the last lap, but not enough time. 9th was all we could muster.

The GREAT news however is that we still had a great points night overall and moved up the rung another spot up to another NEW Career High 2nd Place in the overall standings. We are real excited to be in 2nd and hope to keep running strong and keep the heat on JVO for that top spot.

See you next Thursday at WIR,
Tom Gee Jr.

The rains held off and we had awesome weather for racing!!! We had a lot of struggles throughout the night, but the #36 MCL Pit Crew kept working hard and prevailed!!! HUGE thanks to Tom Sr, Chuck, Billy, Dan, Jeff & Caleb...
They keep catching problems early & keeping us running up front!

Practice was real rough... we got to the track and struggled to keep up with a BAD vibration in the stearing wheel... the team found a bad left front shock and got it replaced JUST in time for qualifying...

The #15 of Doug Malik put down oil all the way around the track in qualifying. It turned into a skating rink. They canceled the rest of qualifying and lined everyone up by average time. Which turned out to be a blessing for us... we were not sure how the borrowed shock was going to react as it was not the same brand as ours, so it was nice to go straight to the heat to test it out.

We ran real strong in the heat and finished a solid 2nd place. The shock was a perfect match.

After another round of adjustments we were ready to take to the track for the feature. We worked our way up through the field and tagged along with the #56 of Tim Rothe to advance up to the top 3... We lost forward bite off the corner and settled into the 3rd spot for the remaining 4 or 5 laps... ANOTHER top 5 for the MCL racing team with a 3rd place finish for the second week in a row...

With another night of solid finishes, we boosted up to another career high...
3RD PLACE in the overall point standings!!!!! We are VERY excited and had a lot of fun celebrating our first top 5 in points last night.. We hope to keep the momentum going and stay solid in the top 5 all season...

I have to give a HUGE thanks to all our sponsors for this season... Being smack dab in the middle of a recession these great companies stuck with us and have helped make the impossible... possible... We truly couldn't do it without each and every one of you!!! Thank you very much!

I've attached the updated points below.

See you all next Thursday at WIR...
