Story By: TYLER ALTMEYER / CJB MOTORSPORTS – CARLISLE, PA – A competitive weekend in the Keystone State resulted in a top-ten finish for Spencer Bayston and Carlisle, Pennsylvania-based CJB Motorsports, doing so in Lincoln Speedway’s annual Gettysburg Clash on Wednesday evening, May 10.
Bayston, the reigning World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year who is currently seventh in the championship standings, finished sixth in his Lincoln top-ten appearances, climbing ahead five positions after starting 11th on the evening grid.
In all, a great effort all around for Bayston at the “Fabulous” Lincoln Speedway, kicking off the program with the second-fastest time in his respective group, followed by a third-place finish during his respective heat race. Bayston’s eventual top-ten would propel his season total to ten in 19 starts.
Unfortunately, the team was unable to repeat success at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday, May 12; Bayston finished 18th.
“It was a tough night for us at Williams Grove. Mistakes at a place like that seem to be magnified and it’s tough to get back out of a hole,” Bayston, driver of the TrueTimber Camo, Rothco, JRC Transportation, Nyce Crete and Landis, Ecynbro Trucking, C&S Lawn and Landscape, Kistler Engines, No. 5 sprint car, said. “To make up significant spots, things really have to fall your way, but they didn’t seem to do that on Friday. We’ll get our chance at redemption when we return to Williams Grove Speedway in July.”
Spencer Bayston and CJB Motorsports will continue their 2023 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series campaign with a swing through the Buckeye State, first visiting Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio, on Friday, May 19, followed by a stop at Sharon Speedway in Hartford, Ohio, on Saturday, May 20.
