After running her INEX Legend Series car at The Bullring in, Las Vegas, where she qualified 6th, and run up has high as third in the main before break issues caused her to pull off the track, Misty took out the MotorspotsWeb.com Bandolero this past Saturday at the Toyota Speedway @ Irwindale.

After taking the green, Misty was on a mission to a vision… her first win on a short track. “I saw, and I was going for it!” That’s what she said when she first spoke to car owner, Scott Lynch after the race, Saturday night. “I asked her what happened out there and that’s what she said.

“Misty,” as she is called by reporters and officials has a vision every time she gets in a racing machine. Her Karting experience speaks for it’s self, yet for her move to short tracks is a comfortable one.
They say in motorsports, “we are family,” and it only holds true for the racers I see among her today. “I grew up with most of these drivers in Karting. Jack Madrid, Race Liberante, and now to be racing against J.A. Junior, this truly is family.”

Misty has had help from one of her competitors, Race Liberante, along with his father, Brian. “Race sent me off in my first shifter kart race at Buffalo Bills,it’s awesome having him around here on the short tracks.”
This past Saturday, Misty’s was set on a win, and she charged the field as only a Knight would. This only fitting as “Knight” is her middle name. The race was pretty well dominated by, J.A. and with only a few laps to go, Misty was hot on his tail.

In what is known in NASCAR as “over time,” a green, white, checkered would be thrown, and these two competitors were ready and set for the battle.
The say ‘rubbin’ is racin’,” and as it may hold true, in Karting, these drivers have no doors, nor fenders to rub. Yet, in the INEX series, these drivers are door to door, battling it out, like the drivers they admire in NACAR.

As J.A. and Misty headed into turn one on the last lap, Misty went low, but as unable to complete the past n, J.A., yet as they went into to turn three, Misty made her move. She went low and in the center of the turn, these to driver made contact and went sliding out of contention for the win.

“I saw it, and I was going for it!” Misty stated after the race. “I feel bad for J.A. I know he’s upset. I talked to his dad and he knows I would never wreck J.A. on purpose, it’s racin’. We both wanted that first win, he is a great driver and my friend. We as drivers learn from these things and go on.”

These drivers have it rough, but to know this is the racin’ of tomorrow, building up to be the future of what we watch on TV, I am honored to be in their forum, their family.

The results show, J.A. 9th and Misty 10th
