Sending love and prayers to Bentley Wright and his family. 🙏🏻

Bentley Wright was involved in a serious off-track accident at Bristol Dragway today. He has been transferred to a Hospital in Knoxville, TN and is on a ventilator.

Update from his father Greg Wright tonight 9:30 PM: “My dawg is gonna need some help from the man above…we are currently in Knoxville. Bentley is sedated and on the ventilator. We don’t know much more than that tonight. Neurologist will be in here in the morning to look at chart, and slowly try and take him off sedation and remove ventilator.”

“Please continue to pray for Bentley Wright and Devon Meachelle Wright. I want to thank everyone that has reached out and prayed. Everyone knows how much my boy means to me. Love y’all and Goodnight “

Bentlee is from my hometown Mobile, AL and we are needing all the prayers we can get DragCoverage Nation 🙏

🧭 The gang split up this weekend and headed separate ways in search of win lights! Some went South for the Summer Junior Madness race at Brainerd Motorsports Park, some headed North for the Stars and Stripes - Midwest Jr Super Series race at Indy, and some stayed in Cincinnati for the Nitro Chaos race at Edgewater Sports Park.

Team highlights from this weekend are below:

🏆 Tommy Stuckey earned the top performer title for our team this week after sealing the deal at Edgewater’s nitro chaos event and getting the win against teammate Averie Milish!

✨ Jace Sexton also had a good showing this week and took two entries all the way down to 13 cars in the $5K race at BMP!

🥇 “Jace’s Mom” got in on the fun and was able to park Jace’s car in the winner circle - making her the back-to back Parent’s Race Champ at BMP. (Courtney Adams)

🎉🎉 Race season is in full swing… but unfortunately our Pit Professionals have been slacking with team updates! 😬🫣. We’ll try to get caught up from previous weeks but there is no time like the present!!!! And our drivers SHOWED UP AND SHOWED OUT this weekend so we couldn’t let another week go by without a post!! Let’s start with our top-performer this week: Brantley Utz

Brantley didn’t even let a speck of dust settle before parking his ✨brand-spanking-new junior✨ from Mike Bos Racecars in 2 finals this weekend (1 win and 1 RU) at the Ultimate 64! His stellar performance over the weekend also earned him the title for the Ultimate Jr Points Championship!

Dexter Gomez wasn’t far behind and took second place in the Ultimate Jr Points Championship after WINNING on Friday and going a bunch of rounds on the other days!

🎀 But the girls weren’t going to let the boys have all the fun!!!

Teammates Maci Baldwin and Reese Kelsey lined up against each other in another all-AHCRAP finals at Thornhill Dragstrip on Saturday with Maci taking the win! 💪🏻🎉

And Averie Milish also drove her way to the finals on Saturday night at Kil-Kare Raceway!

Down south, the Reed Bros were battling it out at the Verge Quick Outlaw Series in London, KY. Colton debuted his brand new ride this weekend 😎 while Cohen made it to the semis in $2500 race and was the last kid standing in the 8.90 class!!

Our youngest driver Wyatt Blevins also held his own at The Ultimate 64 this weekend and made it down to 10 cars on Saturday and the quarterfinals on Sunday!

Finally, we want to wish a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Jace who just turned 18 and is enjoying every moment of her last year with this team. ❤️

AWESOME JOB KIDS!!! Let’s keep it rolling!!! 💪🏻🎉
