- We ran at Lake Erie Speedway. It was Randy's best qualifying effort to date! He got the 5th starting spot.
- The car was tight all night and he really needed a pit stop for adjustments. Due to running 3rd through the majority of the race, he didn't want to give up track position by pitting. The 75 yellow flag laps took out the fuel question, so we only needed tires.
- Randy stopped on lap 175 for four tires and came out racing. Eventually, we slid back to 11th positon, which is where we finished.
- Great evening, super short track!

- We qualified 13th at Berlin Raceway, and, finished 15th.
- The day was cool and rainy, and the race almost didn't happen.
- We had a decent run, but, a right front tire valve stem was cut off during close racing. The subsequent pit stop cost us 3 laps on the fast, short track and pretty much took away a good finish.

- Bad weekend at Kentucky. We came into the weekend with high expectations, but left disappointed.
- The car experienced rear end problems in the Friday afternoon practice. The transmission also began leaking, so we replaced it and got the car repaired for Saturday's race.
- At the start of the race we lost 3rd gear.
- On the restart after the first caution we lost 2nd gear.
- Then, early in the race, driver Kim Crosby lost control in turn 4, and spun in front of Randy. With nowhere else to go, he hit her in the left side. She was able to finish the race, but we could not.
- Extensive front end damage sidelined us for the evening.
- We thank Black Tie Detailing for helping us out this weekend, but, we are very sorry that we could not finish well for them. During the past 3 Kentucky races, they have been very supportive of our efforts!
May 4, 2003
- Sunday at Toledo: we started 12th and finished 11th. Randy ran decent, even though, he was hit from behind during a caution period by the 17 car, who wasn't paying attention to track conditions!
- This Saturday night we race at Kentucky Speedway with our "new" car purchased from Joe Gibbs Racing. We expect a great finish by our team.
- We'll be on live tv Saturday night on Speed channel. 8PM-10PM. Car #7.
April 27, 2003
- Our first race of the season was at Salem Speedway.
- We started 13th, and, finished 14th. We had some incidents with other competitors that damaged the car, but, the crew worked hard and we completed the race with a good finish to kick off our 2003 season.
- We're off to the Toledo Speedway for a Sunday May 4 race, to be followed by a Saturday evening May 10 race at our home track, the Kentucky Speedway.
