Boney Ready To Get Back To Racing
SILVER LAKE, KS (MAR 15) - Justin Boney is ready to get back to racing. For
the last 2 weeks it has been non-stop work getting his new GRT by Phillips
back into racing shape.
Two weeks ago, at the Pro Cuts Texas World Dirt Track Championship, Boney
put the new car in the wall hard after a part broke on the car. It was a
tough break considering he was looking at a 2nd place finish. The damage
didn't look good. Where there is a will there is always a way.
Upon arriving home with the car and getting everything off of it, Justin and
Doug Richards headed off to Arkansas to get the car fixed. In no-time-flat
the modified was back home looking better than before. After a hard week of
putting everything back on the car, it's ready to go 110%, and so is the
driver.
"I think we got the car back together exactly the way we had it when we
picked it up, " said Boney, "I even think it might be a little better now. I
have high expectations. This is a good car. We got just as good of shot at
winning as everyone else does this weekend."
This weekend the USMTS comes into Kansas for a doubleheader, Saturday at
Humboldt Speedway and Sunday at Thunderhill Speedway. These are two tracks
that Justin likes to race at.
"Thunderhill is a lot of fun to race at, " said Boney, "If I had to choose
which one I liked better, I would say Thunderhill Speedway. It's a real racy
track. You have a lot of room to do things, where on a smaller track you
don't and it tends to get one lane a lot easier. The fans get a better show
at a place like that, I think."
With two days of racing at two different tracks, Boney is looking forward to
racing on a more frequent basis.
"We were just talking about that last night. We were just learning what to
do with the new car and coming back from Texas we thought we could come home
and expect to keep racing, but Mother Nature had a different thought and
it's hard to get excited about going racing with weather like that," said
Boney.
The big question remains this weekend, will the races get in? Rain is in the
forecast for Friday night and early Saturday morning. Temperatures that
hover in the 40s will not make for great race conditions. Humboldt Speedway
workers have been working tirelessly to make sure they do everything they
can do get the race in. Nobody has a say in what Mother Nature wants to do.
Next up for Justin Boney and T & T Racing will be the rescheduled USMTS race
at Junction Motor Speedway in McCool Junction, Colorado.
