SHAYLEN RAYE MOTORSPORTS BIG WIN WEEKEND


Lake Stevens, WA  5/28/12 by Racinghartmedia
 
It was a busy weekend for the Shaylen Raye Motorsports #18 Shark Racing Engines powered Sprint Cars driven by Travis Jacobson. The team started out racing both the 410 and 360 Sprinters at Skagit Speedway Saturday night for the John Carroll Classic and then headed to Grays Harbor Speedway in Elma for the second night of the ASCS Northwest Region Series Sunday race.
 
On Saturday night the big win was in the 360 Sprint as Travis led every lap of the 360 main even to win the John Carroll Cup and the extra money paycheck. In winners circle Travis spoke about what it meant to win the Carroll Classic, “Little shaky, I owe my whole career to that guy I will never forget him..I am speechless right now. This team gives me such an awesome ride every week. Thanks to Mike Anderson and thanks to this team for giving me a chance to win every time we fire this thing up.”
 
The 410 was also on rails Saturday night but the evening ended late in the 410 main with some mechanical issues with Travis running down the leader.
 
Off to Elma for the Sunday race where the team got a bad pill draw and had to work their way into the A main after completely dominating the B main event. The #18 Shaylen Raye Motorsports ASCS 360 started 17th and had worked their way up to 7th late in the race. Clearly the team could have been a top 5 car with lap times consistently faster than the cars in front of him. Late in the race Travis was challenging for a top 5 spot when he made contact with a spinning lapped car flipping and ending the evening.
 
The Shaylen Raye Motorsports team would like to thank everyone from both of the tracks, the fans and friends that came down after the races and said such nice things about the show Travis put on. We love this sport and the support we have from our fans is greatly appreciated.
