Midseason Review – Joey Pederson Racing

EAST GRAND FORKS, Minn. (July 13, 2018) – It was another solid weekend of racing for the entire Joey Pederson Racing team last weekend. Joey picked up a top five with the NLRA Late Models Friday at River Cities Speedway. Tucker and Kelsi were both in action Saturday at Greenbush Race Park. Tucker picked up a top five in his Wissota Late Model and Kelsi raced to a podium finish with the NLSA Lightning Sprints. 

Since then, Pederson has picked up four top fives and six top 10s in the last six events.

“Honestly, I was hoping for better results at this point in the season. I think it’s more just the stars not lining up for us the way I would hope. A lot of nights we were just as fast as the leaders, but could have used a caution to regroup. I’ve had to start so far back most nights… that’s played into it a few nights too. I was hoping to have a win or two more at this point, but the car is good. We’ve had the speed and I think we’ll get another win or two more this year,” said Pederson.

Joey will be taking this weekend off. Kelsi and Tucker will be racing tonight at Tri-County Speedway in Wishek, N.D. tonight. Kelsi will also be racing Saturday at Jamestown Speedway with the NLSA Lightning Sprints.

Last night Kelsi finished fourth at Tri-County, while Tucker finished fifth.
