To be continued… May 16, 2013 (by Jeff White) This past weekend saw the Ironwood Builders #3/Billy Alley machine compete at US 36 Speedway on Friday and Butler County Speedway on Saturday.“It’s always nice to pull into a different track and race in front of fans you don’t normally get to race in front of.It’s good for the whole team and it’s good for the sponsors as well” said Billy.“Unfortunately when you draw the last number possible and the track is lock down fast, you don’t always get the results you desire.”The heat race saw Billy start dead last and with little passing in the heat races, that’s where he would finish.Up next was the B-Main and the track was still pretty narrow so starting 10^th and finishing 6^th to transfer was a tall order.Billy ended up finishing the B in the 8^th spot.“US 36 is a racy track, it’s not how we wanted to finish, but it was nice to roll the car into the trailer, move on and get ready for Butler on Saturday.Bob, Travis & Joel worked their tails off to get the car put back together and on the track and then to get everything ready for Saturday, it’s nice to have a crew I can count on.” Saturday would see the team head north to Butler County Speedway to race with the Nebraska 360 Sprint Car Series.“It was nice to get to a race and time trial instead of a draw” Time Trials would see Billy in the 4^th position, putting him on the inside 2^nd row for the heat race.For those people that don’t know about the NE 360’s series, every week you time trial and then the heats are lined up according to the time trial.The heat races invert the top 4 cars and then the top 2 cars transfer to the dash.You run the dash for cash and then the winner draws the invert number for the cars to start the feature.The heat race saw Billy start in the 3^rd position and finish in the 3^rd position.“After the heat, the car was ok but not great, we were fortunate enough to make it into the dash after another driver had some misfortune”The dash would see Billy start in the 6^th position, after the 2^nd lap he was up to 4^th and then hit the cushion in turns 1 & 2 and the right rear tire got packed with mud forcing the Lincoln, NE native to pull the car to the infield.The invert number was drawn and Billy would start on the outside front row for the feature.“It was going to be a good race it’s too bad the rain showed up and cancelled the rest of the night.”With only 1 lap in the books, the series will look to make the rained out feature up at their next event June 22, so this article is to be continued….. Up next:5/23 I-80 Speedway (ASCSNat) 5/24 Junction Motor Speedway (ASCS MW)
