CRA-JEGS-LOGOQuincy, Illinois (06/27/13) – Another busy extended weekend of racing began for Jake Griffin on Saturday at Salem Speedway (Salem, Indiana) with the JEGS/CRA All Star Tour at the speed plant.

The day started with the team having to make quick repairs as a hole was knocked in the oil pan in practice. Luckily the team was able to get it repaired in time for Jake to qualify eleventh fastest on the grid for the 100 lap finale. Early in the event Jake would drop back through the field with an ill-handling car, but after a pit stop for changes he exhibited great patience on the high-banked, asphalt oval as he raced his way back through the pack to finish third behind race winner, Cody Coughlin, and Thomas Woodin. Full results from the program as well as the latest series’ standings are available at www.CRA-Racing.com .

Sunday evening found the team looking to compete at Quincy Raceway (Quincy, Illinois) in their #08 Dirt Open Wheel Modified, but rain forced the program to be canceled.

As a result the team traveled to Quad City Speedway (East Moline, Illinois) for the second-straight Sunday to enter a Weekly Racing Series Event. With twenty-seven entries on hand Jake blazed to fast time honors to earn the pole for the first heat race. A third place finish in his heat race positioned him starting seventh in the feature. Unfortunately Griffin’s outing in the main event would come to an early end, when a slide job gone bad from another competitor ended his night. Full results from the event are available at www.QCSpeedwayRacing.com .

The next week of racing looks to be a busy time with Jake Griffin Racing taking part in several Dirt Open Wheel Modified events as shown below:

June 28th: Tri City Speedway (Pontoon Beach, IL) – Tentative
