“Cut Tires at Toldeo and Mud at DuQuion”

DuQuion, IL (September 8, 2009) KBIII and the LoanMax team had a busy Labor Day weekend with the ARCA RE/MAX Series, but not much luck on the tracks.

First he would travel to Toledo, OH on Friday for the ARCA Re/Max 200 presented by Federated and Belle Tire where he qualified 15th and finished 18th at Toledo Speedway. Then Sunday afternoon KBIII was racing on dirt at the DuQuion State Fairgrounds in DuQuion, IL where he qualified 22nd and finished 22nd.

Starting 15th in the ARCA Re/max 200 at Toledo Speedway, KBIII definitely had a good car that could run up front. It was just a matter of getting it up there. During the race, he ended up cutting three tires at once and was forced to pit under green. The LoanMax Ford was not able to make up for the lost time and ended up five laps down in the 18th position by the end of the race.

After qualifiying 22nd at the one mile dirt track of DuQuion State Fairgrounds, the LoanMax team made adjustments to the sway bar and KBIII was able to start the race strong. At the start of the Southern Illinois 100 the LoanMax Ford was really fast moving up five positions on the first lap.

On lap 15 several cars made contact in front on KBIII and ended up wrecking. He was able to get through the wreckage, but due to the rain from earlier KBIII was not able to avoid the mud. The LoanMax car was stuck until the wrecker could come to pull him out. This caused him to get four laps down and he was not able to make up the laps. He ended the day in the 22nd position with four laps down, although, he was turning lap times just as fast as the race winner.

“This was a rough day for us,” said Butler. “We had a fast car once we made adjustments to the sway bar and we had already started making our way up towards the front of the field early in the race then that wreck happened. That mud was so thick; my car would not even budge. It seems like it took forever for someone to come out there to pull me out. Once we got four laps behind, it was just hard to catch back up. It was still a fun day. Dirt track racing is definitely dirty, but it’s fun.”

KBIII will return to the No.1 LoanMax Ford on Sunday, September 13th at the 2.25 mile roadcourse of the New Jersey Motorsports Park for the South Jersey Building Trades 150. Race time starts at 1:00 PM EST.
