IT’S ALL ABOUT THE SEAT TIME & LEARNING!

Hot laps had us in the second qualifying group, and when the green flag dropped, the challenge was on! Melcolm laid down some great laps, with his second lap being his quickest, putting him 7th in his group.

For the heat race, our driver would roll off P8. With a tough field and not a lot of passing opportunities, the focus became gaining experience and valuable seat time. With 4 laps to go, Melcolm found an opportunity, made the pass and brought it home P7!

Then came FEATURE TIME — and this is where the learning really took place.

This wasn’t your average weekly car count. There were multiple new contenders in the field, all there to battle for the win. Melcolm would start P14 in a field I can only describe as men who are four times his age with triple the experience.

But that didn’t stop him.
It didn’t intimidate him.
He strapped in and went racing.

For 50 straight laps, there were battles for position from the moment the green flag dropped until the checkered flag flew. Not 1 caution flew the entire race! No breaks. No resets. Just 50 laps of racing, learning, adapting and gaining some incredibly valuable seat time.

Nights like these are about so much more than where you finish. Every lap behind the wheel, every battle and every challenge is another piece of experience that our young driver gets to carry into the next race.

You can’t buy seat time — you have to earn it, lap by lap.

Now it’s time to tear the car down, look everything over from top to bottom and get the M75 ready to do it all again next week!

Keep learning. Keep digging. Keep moving forward.

The sun is out and the car is ready to fling some mud!

Its almost race day!

The guys have been in the shop this week, going over the M75 from top to bottom and making sure everything is ready to go!

A special shoutout to Tyler Hazelaar for absolutely KILLING the tire game! 👏🔥
This guy has the touch when it comes to tire prep. The time, effort, and attention to detail he puts into those tires definitely doesn’t go unnoticed.
Nobody even comes close to his work… not even Joe! 😂🤣 Sorry Joe!

It takes a whole crew putting in the work behind the scenes, and we’re lucky to have the people we do!

Races are won in the shop.

Last night brought us to a different track condition, and with that came a whole new challenge!

𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙍𝙖𝙘𝙚:
Our heat was absolutely STACKED with some seriously talented drivers. Melcolm lined up P1 and battled hard from the drop of the green. He would eventually fall back to P7, but not without giving it everything he had!

𝙁𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙏𝙞𝙢𝙚:
Our crew went over everything on the M75 and made sure we were ready for the 30-lap feature, where we would roll off from P13.

This week, the track itself was the challenge — and not just for us, but looked like for the entire field. Melcolm had a wicked good run coming off Turns 1 & 2, but Turns 3 & 4 were definitely the tricky spot.
He kept digging, kept learning, and pushed through all 30 laps to bring it home in P12! 💪

Different track. Different conditions. More experience gained. Every lap gives us something to build on.

Now it’s back to the shop to get the car checked over and ready to go, because next up is the Final Ogilvie’s Series race! 🔧

As always, a huge thank you to our crew, sponsors, family, friends and everyone who continues to support Melcolm and the M75.

On to the next one! 🏁

You know what day it is!
