Short weekend of racing for Skeeter Estey

HIBBING, MN (June 1) - After finishing 6th on Sunday at the Como Mod Series event in Proctor, Skeeter went over to Grand Rapids for the season opener. Skeeter started out his heat on the outside pole and finished 3rd. Skeeter then started 8th in the feature and worked his way up to 6th in the competitive Midwest Modified feature. Unfortunately Superior and Proctor rained out this week, so that was the only race of the week for Skeeter.

Estey earns first win of 2009 season at Proctor Speedway season opener

HIBBING, MN (May 18) - Skeeter started off his 2009 racing campaign with coming out for his heat in the inside of the 4th row.  Skeeter quickly started making his way through traffic and with 4 laps left made the pass for 2nd place.  Skeeter settled for a solid second place run behind Randy Silverness Jr.  In the feature Skeeter started out in the 4th spot and quickly started to use the ultra high side to his advantage.  With about 3 laps in, Skeeter passed Jesse Ogston for the lead and never looked back.  Skeeter worked the high side for the next 12 laps and worked his way through a lot of lap traffic and posted his first win of the 2009 racing season.  This was also the first race on his brand new Killer Chassis by Team Estey.  Skeeter’s Dad Kelly, Brother Mack, Grandpa Al and Skeeter built this chassis from scratch this off season, and it proved on this night that the chassis is pretty fast right out of the box.

Skeeter will be racing on Wednesday in Superior, and Sunday in Proctor this week.
