Welcome to PrestonTrautscholdRacing 20

Again I have to thank Mike Dicely @ Hyper Racing for allowing me to wheel a Junior Sprint car again this year at the Tulsa Shootout in Tulsa Oklahoma. The first racing of the 2026 year! I drove the raced the Junior Sprint a few times in 2025 to get some extra seat time.  Not only did I really enjoy racing the Junior Sprint at the Tulsa Shootout again, but I will definitely be back again next year. As always it was a great experience, and I could not be more proud or happy of how far I was able to make it. There was 130 Junior Sprint cars registered. After day #1 they only kept the top 72. My heat race I started 8th which was fine by me because passing points are the way to go! I started 8th and worked my way up to 4th real fast, I was eager to redeem myself after last year that I wasn't patient enough and tried to make a pass for 3rd and we ended up getting together as the other car came down, I fell back to 6th but was able to finish 5th. Not the passing points we wanted but we had enough to transfer to a qualifier. My qualifier I started 9th again hoping for my great passing points. I was able to finish 4th right with the 2nd and 3rd place cars before I got loose and just maintained 4th with allowed me to advance to the B-Main the following day. The B-Main I started 1st and didn't get a great start I ended up finished 3rd. This year they changed it up allowing the top 3 from each B-Main to go into the Last Chance Qualifier so I had another chance to make it in the show.  I started 12th, I had a really good run the first start hoping I could pass some cars but another car slid up the track taking me to the wall. After that I just couldn't get the momentun rolling again and I finished 12th. Another year of not making the show but another fun time with seat time, learning more about these cars and getting to follow my passion! I was able to carry the flag out in opening ceremonies which was real cool. Stay tuned for those updates!
