Our biggest race fan has news too good not to share — Mr. Red officially crossed his own checkered line today as he completed his very last radiation treatment.

Battling cancer is one of the hardest races anyone could ever face, and we could not be more proud of the strength, courage, and determination he has shown through every lap of this journey. Watching him fight for better health with so much faith and perseverance has been incredibly inspiring to our whole family.

Back in April, Grady traveled out to support his Granddaddy Red during the beginning of treatments. We flew home and headed straight to Grady’s charity race, where Grady raced with his granddaddy heavy on his heart. After bringing home a podium win, there was no question who that trophy belonged to. Grady proudly gifted his winning trophy to Granddaddy Red to celebrate his strength, his fight, and this incredible milestone in recovery.

Today is more than just the end of radiation treatments — it’s a celebration of resilience, hope, and the people who stand beside us through life’s toughest moments.

We know this journey is not over yet, and we would appreciate continued prayers as we move into this next chapter of healing and recovery.

One race at a time. One lap at a time.

Congratulations, Mr. Granddaddy Red, on such a huge accomplishment today. We love you and are so proud of you! ❤️🏁
Best news of the year! 🎉

We are officially a WEEK away from our first
Little-Wheels QMA Graham,Wa points race of the season!

We’re excited to announce the release of Grady’s newest car — the Jr 160, proudly sponsored by The Smart Haul!

This will be Grady’s rookie season in the Jr 160 division, and he is beyond excited for this new opportunity and eager to gain more experience on the track.

Grady will also continue racing as an experienced driver in both his Jr Honda and Jr Animal classes. So what makes the Jr 160 division different?

It’s all about SPEED!
The Jr 160 accelerates quicker than his other cars and reaches even faster speeds on the track. This will continue Grady’s growth as a driver, helping him to become more technically sound and smooth behind the wheel!

We’re looking forward to a fast and exciting season ahead! Be sure to check out our season schedule and come see this car in action. Admission is free!

We are beyond heartbroken to hear about Kyle Busch. Many prayers to his family during this incredibly difficult time.

Kyle’s M&M car is what started it all for Grady. From the moment he saw that bright yellow car fly around the track, he was hooked. Kyle became more than just a driver he cheered for — he became the reason Grady fell in love with racing and started dreaming of one day driving himself.

For years, Kyle has been a huge part of our family’s racing memories, and we will forever be grateful for the inspiration, excitement, and passion he gave Grady. It’s hard to put into words how devastating this news feels.

Our hearts are with his loved ones, his team, and every fan grieving this tremendous loss. He made an impact on so many lives and his legacy will continue through every young racer he inspired along the way.

1st PLACE WINNER AT THE YAKIMA REGIONAL RACE! 🏁

What an amazing weekend at the 509 Quarter Midget Association Regional Race. 153 cars from Canada and across the western United States gathered to compete in our first Region Race 2026 @ 509 QMA of the season.

Grady grew so much as a driver this weekend. He was challenged with a new track that pushed him outside his comfort zone and helped expand his experience on a flat track. As a seasoned banked-track driver, this was a great opportunity to gain versatility and continue developing his skills.

In Jr Honda, Grady finished 7th place. It was valuable seat time and gave us plenty of learning moments to talk through, helping set him up for success going into the Jr Animal and Jr 160 races.

Grady proved his talent by taking 1st place in Jr Animal! He applied everything he learned in the Honda race and ran with it. We couldn’t be more proud.

Jr 160 is still a newer class for Grady, and heading into the regional race it was only his 4th time behind the wheel of a car with a different speed and reaction time. He gave it everything he had and finished 2nd place in his regional race. The ending of this race was an exciting one! It was definitely a days of thunder movie moment!

We are so proud of Grady’s hard work, determination, and growth this weekend. The future is bright!

A huge thank you to Motors By Mike for giving us amazingly fast motors in every class!!

Thank you to our racing family, Mike Wiley for being with us every step of the weekend, Mears Racing for helping us learn flat track set up and Pavelek Racing for the 160 motor! Huge thank you to Wharton & Munce Racing for hauling our trailer for us over the pass!

Thank you to our SPONSORS who keep us going!
