The evening again was not one of the best as far as luck goes for Shawn in the 12a car. In the heat race Shawn started third and was hit going into turn four. He was sent into the infield but managed to regain control and come back out onto the track without a caution. His finish in the heat race was seventh or eighth (Sorry, not sure exactly). Xzander in the 12x car started 9th in his heat race and finished 10th.
For the feature, Shawn started fifteenth and Xzander started 19th. Xazander held his ground the entire race and had a final finish of 13th. Shawn had quite a few battles to fight as he moved up through the field. On or about lap 16, Shawn was hit hard in the passenger side door by a spinning out Jason Ewing who’s car broke. Somehow Shawn came through the accident scene and kept on racing. On lap 17, you could see puffs of smoke coming of the motor of the 12a. Shawn finished the race, with smoke coming off the motor, 6th.
The Sabko, Inc. Racing team has decided to take the evening off and not race at Grandview. Shawn feels that his car is not up to par to run this evening with everything happening last evening.
The next race that they will attend will be on Saturday, April 26 at Susquehanna Speedway Park in Newberrytown, PA. A huge “Thank You” goes out to everyone on the team, our sponsors, families, and friends. Have a great week, and see you at SSP!
