Well if it wasn’t for bad luck we would have no luck at all. Season is done for Jeremy. Will work on getting another motor for next year.

Race recap from 4/03/26:

Heat didn't go as planned. I didn't feel as comfortable in the car as I have been. Made a lot of changes before the Feature. Car felt completely different but was 100% better than it has been. Driver just needs more seat time. The multiple cautions hurt more than they helped. My Crew Chief Kenneth Drake gave me some words of wisdom while waiting in the chute to go out for the Feature which seemed to help calm my nerves and make me laugh at the same time. This was that conversation...

Kenneth: It's hammer down all the way around!

Me: So where do I run?

Kenneth: Run where they are not.

His "pep talk" definitely helped as I started 19th and passed 9 cars to finish 10th.

Last Friday's race at Heart O Texas. Felt good to be back in the car after a five year break. Now I just need to remember how to drive it! 😆
Thank you Kenneth Drake for everything you do. We definitely couldn't do it without you!

As the season soon comes to an end, we wanted to take the time to say just how proud we are of Kayden and everything she has accomplished over the last 6 years she has been involved in dirt track racing. She has made so many new friends along the way, younger and older. Everyone who meets her, loves her and respects her as a young woman driver. We have heard time and time again throughout the years that she is a great, clean driver and they would race with her anyday or anytime. This is the image she has tried so hard to create for herself. This is her legacy!
With that being said, Kayden has decided to take a break from racing, for the time being, to focus on her college academics. This does not mean she will never race again, but will definitely not be racing as much. To fill in until the time comes for her to return, I, her father, will be running the Modified and/or SportMod in her place. So stay tuned as there is still more to come from DTP!

Even though Kayden Petty is off from racing today, we still wanted to wish our racing families and friends safe travels and goodluck!

How about some bonus in car footage from the B-Main at HOT Friday night.

Unfortunately, I don't have footage of the heat or feature due to me forgetting to turn the cameras on. 🤦

Here's the video from this past Friday at HOT.

Had a great night at HOT running with the STIMS!!!

Kayden started 2nd in her heat. She quickly jumped out to the lead before getting doored in the middle of turn 1, knocking her loose and getting pushed back to 2nd. She was running so damn good, had a big gap between her and 3rd place, until the last lap the power steering belt snapped coming out of turn 2. She limped it around to still finish 4th. We thought she made the last transfer spot to the A- Main only to find out only the top three in each heat transferred. After being towed off the track and back to our pit, we literally had about 10 minutes to find someone who had an extra one we could use, get it installed and her back out for the B-Main. Took all three of us (Myself, Kenneth & Kayden) but we did it with seconds to spare. She pulled up to the chute as the cars were going onto the track. She started 2nd in the B-Main #2 and finished in the final transfer spot, 4th. The car was a little loose, as we didn't have time to do a setup change with the time constraint, but she still wheeled the hell out of it!! This put her starting dead last (20th) in the Feature. Kenneth and I made some changes to the car and sent her out. She did the best she could but overall finished 16th.
I will get the video edited and posted in the next few days.

Finally finished editing the video of Kayden's last race from HOT with the TOMS. She was not too happy with how she did either. She knows she made mistakes and feels she did not drive to the best of her abilities. She has watched this video several times and has had the same reaction each time...."ugh, I hate that I did so bad! That's not me and I don't know why I kept making the same mistake over and over."
Well Babygirl, mistakes are an important part of learning and growing. It's how you respond to them is what allows you to become a better person in life. This is just one race and it definitely does not define who you are or are meant to be!
