It was a nice night for racing.  This week Jenny started 2nd row inside, after timing 3rd with a 17.167.  With a very loose car, Jenny had her hands full as Stover and Bowyer slipped by.  On lap 12, the 86 of Benedict spun in turn two and the race was restarted with Jenny still running 5th.  Holding off lots of pressure from behind, Jenny was able to hang on to a solid 5th place finish.

8/3/02

A hot, muggy night at the races!  Timing 2nd with a 17.000, inverting 3 rows, Jenny started the race on the outside of row 3.  Starting behind the 9 of Knoll, who fell off the pace when the green flag dropped, Jenny was forced to the back of the field.  One by one she moved her way through the pack.  However, on lap 26, the 8 of Stover got into the back of the 97 of Hartford.  Jenny then went to the outside to take advantage of the situation, but instead was hit by Stover, causing her to spin.  With both cars restarting at the back, Jenny managed to make her way back up to a 7th place finish.

7/27/02

Tonight started out with Jenny timing 5th at a 17.268.  Since 3 rows were inverted, Jenny started the race on the pole, but quickly fell to 5th where she had qualified.  On lap 6, the 89 of Snow and the 21 of Foster tangled, causing a restart.  Jenny was able to hang on to a 5th place finish, still maintaining her 3rd place position in the season points standings.

7/20/02

After another week of late nights and dedication from the Jenny White Motorsports team, Jenny made a strong come back setting the fast time for the evening at a 17.041.  Inverting 2 rows, Jenny started second row inside.  As the pack worked down to single file, Jenny fell in line 7th, where she would run until lap 8 when Bowyer was sent to the back for a spin.  By lap 19, Jenny worked her way up to 5th where she ran for the rest of the night.  She should now move up to 3rd in the current season points standings.

7/13/02

Our luck seemed to be turning around as Jenny qualified second fastest with a 17.054.  With 3 rows inverted she would then start the feature from the outside of row 3.  Unfortunately, that luck quickly disappeared as polesetter Scotty Martin got into Jeff Klem on the first lap.  It looked as though Jenny was going to make it through the mess, but Klem then slid back up the track ending the race for both cars.

7/6/02

After a long week of thrashing to get the car back together, the night of racing began with another fireworks display and very hot weather.  Qualifying was canceled due to technical problems with the timing light.  Late model racers were thus lined up according to their points standings with a 5 row inversion.  Current points leader John O'Neal also decided to take the $1000 challenge by starting at the rear of the field.  Since Jenny is currently 4th in points, and the 2 of Klem was unable to make it back this week, Jenny started the race on the outside of row 5.  Experiencing an ill-handling car, Jenny was unable to make much progress and finished the race in 9th, still maintaining her 4th place points position.

6/29/02

The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat... Coming off her first I-70 win, Jenny was looking forward to a good finish in this 100 lap feature.  Timing 3rd with a 17.070, and a 3 row inversion, Jenny again started the race 2nd row inside.  On lap 21, the 2 of Klem had a mechanical problem, sending him spinning into the wall.  For the restart, Jenny was running 5th, where she stayed through lap 77, when the 8 of Stover spun out in turn one.  Unfortunately, on this restart the 0 of Cobb and the 01 of Crane tangled coming to the line.  The 4 of Richards attempted to avoid the accident, but was unsuccessful, collecting Jenny in the wreck.  The resulting damage was too severe to be repaired, thus ending Jenny's night.  This was the first time this season that Jenny was unable to complete the race and her first finish out of the top 10.

6/15/02

We finally did it!  After timing 5th with a 17.209, Jenny started the race on the second row inside.  On the first lap, cars 0, 89, 27, 8, and 1 were involved in an accident coming off of turn two, resulting in a complete restart.  On the restart Jenny's position did not change.  The green flag fell and Scotty Martin took the lead with Jenny running 3rd.  It took her just a few short laps to get around Aaron Daniel and about 10 laps to run down and pass Martin, giving her the lead on lap 14.  Jenny went on to lead the rest of the race, holding off Kent Crane and Clint Bowyer to become the first female to win a late model feature race in the 33 year history of I-70 Speedway, with a standing ovation from the crowd!

6/8/02

Timing 7th out of 20 cars, with a 17.348, and again inverting 3 rows, finds Jenny starting on the inside of row four.  The race runs smoothly with Jenny running in the 7th position, unable to get a strong enough run to make it around the #97 of Ron Hartford.  After getting into the wall, Scotty Martin in the #25 car enters the pits moving Jenny up to 6th.  On lap 33, Bowyer spins and both Bowyer and O'Neal are put to the rear of the field placing Jenny in 4th.  On the restart, the #8 of Stover running behind Jenny in the 5th position jumps the gun, passing before the starting line and is also sent to the back of the pack.  The race finishes with #2 of Jeff Klem in 1st, followed by the 01 of Kent Crane, the 97 of Ron Hartford, and the 17 of Jenny White.

6/1/02

On June 1, the night of the Late Model Twin 50's races, Jenny qualified 4th out of 21 cars with a time of 17.119.  After inverting 3 rows, Jenny would start on the outside of the second row.  Unfortunately, it was not until lap 3, while running 8th, that she was able to move down to the inside lane.  On lap 12, Jenny passed the #8 of Stover, which was soon followed by a tangle between Boyer and Pittman moving her up to the 5th position.  On lap 24, contact between Jenny and Stover sent her spinning and put her to the back for the restart.  Passing cars right and left, she was able to make her way back up through the pack for a 7th place finish.

For the second feature of the night, the line up was determined according to finishing positions in the first race, again with 3 rows inverted, placing Jenny on the inside of row 4.  On lap 5, Crane and Bowyer tangled, collecting Klem and Stover.  Jenny would then restart in the 5th position.  At approximately 12:30pm, on lap 42, the 21 car field had diminished to only 11.  Jenny went on to finish 4th, placing her 5th in the current points standings.

5/26/02

The postponed racing program from last night was resumed this afternoon at approximately 3pm.  Although track conditions weren't the greatest, all races were completed.  Starting 18th in the 24 car Late Model 100, Jenny was able to steadily race her way up through the pack and secure a 9th place finish.

5/25/02

Yet once again, no rain, but still no racing.  During the modified heat races it was determined that the track was simply too wet to continue and was creating unsafe racing conditions.  It was announced earlier in the evening that any races that had to be canceled during the rest of the season would be made up on the following day.  Therefore qualifying, the Late Model 100, and all other feature races were rescheduled for Sunday, May 26th.

5/18/02

Well, we almost got to race.  Although tonight's race cancellation was not due to rain, but a countywide blackout which occurred halfway through late model qualifying.  The electricity was not restored soon enough to resume racing in a timely manner.  Therefore, the 100 lap Late Model Special has been postponed yet once again.  It has been rescheduled for next Saturday, May 25th.  Due to the excessive amount of cancellations this season there may be more schedule changes, so please check back for updates.  We hope to see you all next weekend!

5/11/02

And the rain returns.  Sorry race fans, but yet again there was no racing at I-70 Speedway this weekend.  Tonight made for the fourth rain out of the season so far.  Please check the schedule for updated race dates and hope for some drier weather next weekend.

5/4/02

Finally, beautiful racing weather! After qualifying 5th with a time of 17.207, the roll of the die inverted 3 rows, putting Jenny on the pole of tonight’s 40 lap race. She pulled away at the start and continued to lead the race for the first 21 laps. At this point, Jenny’s car had begun to get tight allowing O’Neal and Klem to sneak by her. Finishing 3rd in the race, to past champions, John O’Neal and Jeff Klem, Jenny is currently 4th in the 2002 points standings, moving up one position from the last race.

"Looking to trade one complete race team for a large ark."  With each passing week this potential ad is starting to sound more and more realistic.  Tonight made the third rain out of four scheduled events at I-70 Speedway.  Although our chances of finding someplace to race the ark may have been better in April, so far the weather is looking good for next weekend.  With any luck Mother Nature will start cooperating with us and we can get this 2002 racing season underway.

4/20/02

And Mother Nature pulls back into the lead in the battle against Saturday night racing at I-70 Speedway with a score of 2-1.  This evenings races were cancelled at approximately 3:45 this afternoon.  We better remind everybody to say their prayers for a dry weekend again and hopefully we will have more to report next weekend.

4/13/02

Finally, we have a start to the 2002 racing season!  We hope you're all as excited as we are.  Tonight we concluded the first night of racing in the 2002 season.  Jenny qualified 2nd to past champion Jeff Klem.  With the roll of the die, the inversion for the start of the feature was determined to be 3 rows placing Jenny on the outside of the third row.  The start of the race was tight, with several rows of double file racing, but the pack soon singled out.  Jenny then finished the 40 lap feature event in the 5th position.

4/6/02

To all of our disappointment Mother Nature was the only winner this weekend at I-70 Speedway's Opening Night.  The light sprinkles during hot laps were soon followed by full blown April showers.  We were unable to get in any of the racing we have all waited all winter for.  We hope you will all join us at the track again next weekend and don't forget to say your prayers for a drier evening.

3/30/02

This afternoon’s test and tune session concluded the final day of pre-season testing for the JWM team. Everything went well and we are looking forward to a successful 2002 season. We hope you will join us next weekend for opening night.

3/24/02

Jenny White Motorsports spent yesterday testing at I-70 Speedway in Odessa, Mo.  After a long winter of hard work, we were very pleased with the results.  Unfortunately, due to the inclement weather, today's scheduled practice session was canceled. We plan to test once more next Saturday, before putting all of our work to the final test at I-70 Speedway's opening night on the 6th of April.
