Racing With Jesus – California

Limited Effort Still Nets a 34th Place at California

This week’s race at California saw Kyle Busch win yet another Nationwide event in dominating fashion. Starting from the pole position, Busch dominated the race in laps led and easily took the checkered flag.

A failure to qualify for the Bristol race last week had placed the Racing With Jesus team in severe financial straits.

With no prize money going into this week’s race in California, any attempt at the race would be limited by the lack of funds.

Even with these obstacles to overcome, the team nonetheless put forth a strong, albeit limited, showing.

Qualifying in the top 30, Morgan Shepherd and the Racing With Jesus team managed to deliver a fan-pleasing showing during the early stages of the race.

Over the course of the early laps of the race, the #89 Racing With Jesus Dodge Charger steadily moved up in the field.

With 48 laps in the books, Morgan stayed on the course as the leaders came into the pits for their first round of pit stops for the night.

By staying on the course, the #89 was able to climb as high as 6th position before being forced into the pits for the night. Handling was becoming tricky as the team’s only set of tires for the night were worn out.
