The 2011 racing season has come to a close for the Kelsey Racing team. This year the team, for the second year in a row, made Mohawk International Raceway there home track and although the season started out slow the team turned it around and rebounded for a great finish in the points standings.
The team was sitting 13th overall after the third race of the season due to some bad luck, mainly in the form of flat tires. However, the team never gave up and fought hard to come back and in the last race took 3rd spot overall in the 2011 Mohawk International Raceway Sportsman points championship for the 2nd year in a row. It was then decided in mid-august that the team would take a run at the Super Dirt Series and travelled throughout Northern New York State, Southern Ontario and winding up the championship in Brockville ,Ontario where the team had a strong run starting 29th and finishing 9th place giving them the 7th overall postion in points just 1 point away from 6th in the Super Dirt Series(Sportsman) points chase. The team was happy with there results considering this is only the second season in the Sportsman division. In the last two years the team has put together some pretty solid stats.
Brent would like to take this opportunity to thank his wife Natasha and his Mom & Dad,Crew Chief Bob Clingo, along with there great sponsors for a great season. A&W(Rockland), Pro Clean Car Wash, Rockland Plaza, Kooltech(Rockland), Castrol, NGK, Fashion Workwear, Rockland Ford, M.Bray Construction, Roy Motorsports, PM Promotions and Bicknell Racing Products.
