Sloan Henderson drops Kil-Kare...

 Wow!  The move to drop Kil-Kare out of my schedule has really paid off.  The crew and I all agreed that we needed to focus on one track.  I think it was the right decision, for now.   I will let the stats speak for themselves.  We have had three history making weeks in a row!  At Columbus Motor Speedway, I was the first female to set fast time.  The following week, I was the first female to win all three events-fast time, dash, and feature winner.

Sloan Henderson wins at Columbus...

The last couple of weeks have been amazing.  It started with our win at Columbus Motor Speedway on my birthday.  The next week, we broke the track record at Columbus.  The following week, we broke the track record at Kil-Kare.  This week, the GreenPro landscaping Koehlke Components Whelen Late Model made the long ride to win the Robbie Dean 94 Lap Memorial Race at Kil-Kare! 

Sloan Henderson begins August run...

The weather was great Friday night.  It was a great nigh to break the track record at Kil-Kare and our team did just that.  We broke two track records in six days!  Way to go to my crew!! 

Sloan Henderson's year getting better and better...

The year just gets better and better.  It also gets more and busier.  I had several things going on this week.  I had a lot of meetings and we had to do a lot of work on my car.
    First, we spent a lot of time at the beginning of the week working on the car.  We had problems with the starter.  We decided to go to Columbus to test on Thursday.    The test went very well.  Our Dodge track started making a new noise but we had to go on.

Sloan Henderson busy in July...

The weather hasn’t been too bad just hot.  However, my engine has been a real problem which has been making me and the crew sweat!   It all started just before the Franklin, July 4th Parade.  More about that later!

The Franklin, July 4th Parade was very fun.  I have never been a Grand Marshal before so it was all new to me.  White-Allen Chevrolet sent a really awesome truck that was supposed to pull my car.  However, the guys were busy trying to get my engine back together so my car didn’t make it to the parade.  The crew had worked on my car until 4 am on Saturday morning.  I was up until 1 am so I was tired.  However, I was so excited to get to rededicate the Lyon’s Bridge!  I am really proud of my hometown.  It’s a great place to learn about life, God, and values!  I want to thank everyone for their kind words and encouragement during the whole parade!

June, 26, 2010

We finally have had good weather.  Friday at Kil-Kare, it was hot but no rain.  We struggled in practice because we put a different set-up on the NASCAR Whelen Green Pro Koehlke Late Model.  We made a few more adjustments before qualifying.  I was able to qualify second.  We didn’t run any heat races because of the special event with the figure eights cars.  The feature seemed to start more quickly than usual.  I worked my way up to second place.  I was racing hard to try and pass the leader.   I could gain on him everywhere except on turn four.  I had a lot of forward bite.  I decided I could get on the gas a little harder to try and get past him before turn four.  Unfortunately, I got on the gas too hard and spun out.   I had to go to the back of the pack.  I had to work my way up by passing on the outside and I only had a few laps left.  I ended up finishing in third but it was a great race and the fans loved it.
I got up Saturday and guess?  It was raining.  Thankfully, it quit raining by noon.  We headed to the Motor Auto Body Shop early to meet Gary.  We had a little confusion.  Dad said he put my race bag in the trailer.  I thought he meant he did that after I put it in my Jeep.  We didn’t take my Jeep.  We had his truck and my race bag was not in the trailer!  Mom ended up running it to us.  We were a little bit late but we still had time to get everything ready.  We were pretty fast throughout the three practice sessions.  We ended up qualifying third.  The interesting thing is that between the top four qualifiers, there wasn’t even half a tenth of second!  It was close.  In the dash race, we had motor problems again.  I ended up finishing fourth.  We were also having battery problems all day.  It made for a very hurried time between races.  We made it in time for the feature.  I worked my way up to fourth place.  I had to settle for that.
