The 360 on the 54

 

Sneak Peak….

 

Here’s a sneak peak of the new car for this season. Come on out to Boyd and Stephenville to see this beauty in action. As always you can catch Cody Shoemaker behind the wheel!

281 Speedway Banquet

 

This past weekend Cody was honored at the 281 Speedway 2010 Banquet. He, among other drivers in various classes, received a plaque acknowledging his season and points. Cody placed 4th in points in his IMCA Southern Sport mod Class in Stephenville, Texas.

The banquet was held at a facility adjacent to City Limits in Stephenville. After receiving his award and taking his seat he was approached by another driver named David Sparks. David Sparks placed 2nd in points in 2010 at the 281 track but has since had to leave racing due to job location. David Sparks shook Cody’s hand, gave him a hug, and issued some words of gratitude and encouragement, rendering Cody speechless. David then handed over his plaque to Cody and walked out the door. Cody was stunned to say the least, but also appreciative of such a gesture. 

Sorry, this picture is a little blurry….

As the night went on, Cody visited with his family as well as other drivers but not for the same reasons. Trash-talk was in full swing and the competition is at a high! This year’s excitement will be sure to provide a show out on the dirt track. Cody is pumped and ready to take on another year of dirt and grime!

Stay tuned.....

A season better than expected...

If you would have told me I would have finished 4th in points at one track, 10th in points at another, and 20th in the nation, I would have called you a liar. I couldn't have expected a better season than we (JBS Motorsports) had this past year. The #54 southern sportmod and I came home with 8 top 5's and 4 or 5 top 10's. With a 4th place finish in track points at 281 Speedway, and 10th in points at Body Raceway, we are now looking forward to another great season in 2011.
