5/5/10 – Reigning IRA Champ, Bill Balog & his B Squared Motorsports team were in action this past Saturday at the Beaver Dam Raceway for the Annual “Dual at the Dam”. The night didn’t start off as expected when the 69 pill out of 70 available was drawn for the qualifying order. The team made the proper adjustments to the car after hot laps & Bill ended up turning the 7th fastest time out of the 38 cars present.
With the 7th quick time of the night, the Hoeft Builders 17B lined up 5th in heat race #3. A top 4 finish was needed to secure a starting position in the nights 30 lap feature. At the drop of the green, Bill quickly began to work for that 4th spot, & by the mid way point he had raced in to that all important position. He would hold on to the spot & transfer to the feature.
After the invert pill was drawn for the feature, Bill lined the 17B up in the 5th position. The crew made a few last minute adjustments to the car prior to pushing the feature off, all in hopes of freeing the car up some to adapt to the ever changing track. Once the race began, Bill had his hands full as the adjustments were still not enough & the car was way too tight. He held on for the duration of the 30 laps & brought home a 7th position. Although the results weren’t all that great, the team feels they are making some ground on getting the Wolf Weld Chassis figured out.
This week the team makes there first out of state trip of the year to the Clay County Speedway in Spencer, IA on Friday & then to the Knoxville Raceway on Saturday.
