Story By: TYLER ALTMEYER / CJB MOTORSPORTS – CARLISLE, PA – Spencer Bayston’s quick weekend in the Empire State may have concluded short of satisfaction, but the Lebanon, Indiana, native is already looking ahead, ready to tackle the highbanks of Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 in Pevely, Missouri, for the annual occurrence of Ironman 55 weekend on Friday and Saturday, August 4-5.
The two-day invasion of the greater St. Louis venue will cap with the 55-lap Ironman finale awarding $20,000-to-win on Saturday, August 5.
As noted, Bayston, ace of the CJB Motorsports, TrueTimber Camo, Rothco, JRC Transportation, Nyce Crete and Landis, Ecynbro Trucking, C&S Lawn and Landscape, Kistler Engines, No. 5 sprint car, spent his recent weekend in the Empire State, visiting the state-of-the-art Weedsport Speedway in Weedsport, New York, on Saturday and Sunday, July 29-30. Saturday’s program would ultimately fall to Mother Nature, but Sunday’s $20,000-to-win finale would play on as scheduled with Bayston finishing 15th; he started 21st.
A flat tire during the evening’s main event would aid in Bayston’s lack of additional forward progress. The former World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year remains eighth in the Series standings padded by 27 top-ten finishes.
“Overall, not the result we wanted at Weedsport, but it’s not from a lack of hard work nor effort,” Bayston expressed. “All we can do now is move forward and set our focus on positive results at Pevely and Knoxville. We’re up for the challenge and I know we have the potential to do great things these next few weeks.”
Spencer Bayston and CJB Motorsports will continue their 2023 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series campaign with a visit to Pevely, Missouri’s Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 for the annual Ironman 55 on Friday and Saturday, August 4-5.
