Team AJ caps off successful season

wayde86 — Sat, 03 Nov 2012 15:56:42 +0000

This past Saturday team AJ would hit the asphalt one final time at the US international raceway in shawano WI. With only one week since the last time team AJ was here would mean they were ready to once again tackle the tricky 1/5th mile track. Hot laps would once again show that the tracks tight turn 4 would be where the race was won or lost. With the first 2 sessions going flawless the team was able to get out for one more session which was key as a gear issue would end the session early. The team was able to push the car back to the trailer and with the help of the entire team fix the problem before the first heat. The first heat would have AJ lined up outside row one. As the green flew AJ was able to hold her position for most of the race slipping back a few car lengths from the leader but able to hold on to a solid 2nd place finish. With only a few minutes between heats the team was unable to change anything on the car before they had to push back to staging. Heat 2 would have AJ lined up mid pack on the inside. Off the start the outside seemed to get a better jump causing AJ to complete the first lap in 4th place. AJ would work the next 7 laps trying to make a pass on 3rd but was unable to make a pass as the checkered flew. The feature would show a similar lineup as the first heat with AJ starting outside row 1. Early off in the 12 lap race AJ would find herself in a tight battle with the 2nd place driver. AJ would eventually lose the position but would keep close pace to the 2nd place car. With 2 laps to go any hope of attempting a pass was stopped as AJ would catch lapped traffic and would have to settle for a 3rd place finish. Once again the team left the track feeling they had improved more since last week and look forward to the next season. Check back frequently as news for the 2013 season will be added! Team AJ wants to thank the countless hours put in the shop by the crew and the continued support from all there sponsors. While the start of the 2012 season began on the dirt in a junior sprint car the move was made to bandolero racing on asphalt late July and soon after it was clear that bandolero racing was what team AJ will set there sights on for years to come!

Team AJ scores first bandolero win!

wayde86 — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:36:39 +0000

A very nice day for late October greeted team AJ at the us international raceway in shawano wi. This would be the first time ever bandolero’s would take to the tight 1/5 mile track. Hot laps would quickly show that keeping a good line throught the track was key as each turn was slightly different. After some small adjustment’s following hot laps AJ would line up inside row 2 for the first heat. After what seemed to be a lengthend race then previously planned AJ was able to finish a solid 2nd place. New to team AJ was the format of the races as a second round of heat races would take place before the features. With a slight invert from the first heat AJ would line up outside row one. AJ was able to get a great jump on the pole sitter and took the lead coming out of turn 2 and never looked back. AJ would hold off the 2nd place driver for 8 laps and score her first ever bandolero’s win! AJ along with the team were ecstatic for the well deserved win and couldn’t wait to get on the track for the feature. AJ would once again line up outside front row. This time the pole sitter was able to hold off AJ thru turns 1 and 2 but AJ wouldn’t give up. AJ stayed right on the leaders bumper waiting to make a move but lap traffic made it difficult to make any challenge for the lead as she would have to accept a 2nd place finish. Team AJ was very proud of the day and look forward to returning to the premier facility this Saturday October 27th. Team AJ would like to thank all of there sponsors that have helped them get to this first bandolero win and the continued support from friends and family.
