SEASON OF UP'S & DOWN'S CONTINUES FOR LAMBERT
6-12-09) The
2009 season is barely three months old, but Butch and the Lambert Racing
Team have already had their share of ups and downs and this past weekend
was no exception.
It was a homecoming of sorts on Friday, June 5th as Butch returned to
Lernerville Speedway to run in the Pro Crate Late Model event. He took
the green flag for the heat event from the third spot and looked to
finish there until a bad restart handed him the pole position. He pulled
away to a significant lead to pick up the heat event win. For the
feature, he drew the 5th starting spot and it was a really good race. He
quickly raced his way to third place in the caution filled event. As the
race went on, the leader broke, but Butch had been racing side by side
and didn't get the spot at the line. Instead of restarting 2nd, he was
relegated to third and put up a hard fought battle to capture a second
place finish. We were very happy to come home basically in one piece
with a top 3 finish.
With no racing at Mercer Raceway Park on Saturday evening, we headed to
Tri-City Speedway on Sunday for a regular event. Butch started his heat
from the outside pole and quickly took the lead. He cruised to his
second heat event win of the weekend with a hard charging Max Blair
nipping at his heels. An Invert Zero line-up was pulled for the feature
event, putting Butch on the outside pole beside Mike Pegher Jr. As soon
as the green flag dropped, it was apparent there was a problem. For the
first few laps, Butch dropped to 4th, then charged back to 2nd, only to
drop back again, this time to 6th. With only 5 laps on the board, he
pulled into the pits leaving all of us to wonder what happened. Our
initial investigation found a problem with the carburetor, forcing us to
load up for the night. He was credited with a 12th place finish.
Monday evening the team dug a little further into the problem and found
metal in the oil, which is not a good sign. The engine was pulled and
given to Mike Ingram of Ingram Engines to check out. He discovered early
Wednesday that a lifter had come apart. Not something you would expect
to see in a motor that only has 14 nights of racing on it. Needless to
say, we were pretty disappointed. The good news is that we will have the
engine back in time for next weekend and will run last year's motor in
the meantime.
This weekend, we will be racing at Mercer Raceway Park on Saturday Night
and Tri-City Speedway on Sunday night.
We are also pleased to announce that we have new Butch Lambert Racing
T-shirts available for order for only $10! We are also
offering tanks, hoodies, sweatshirts and long-sleeved T's. Please
contact me if you would
like to place an order!

HARD CRASH ENDS LAMBERT'S HOLIDAY WEEKEND
(5-29-09)
As the old saying goes, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of
times”, for Butch and the Lambert Racing Team this past weekend.
The team started the Memorial Day Holiday weekend out by making the 9+
hour tow to The Dirt Track at Lowe’s in
Charlotte,
North Carolina
for the Goodyear FASTRAK Challenge event.
The special event was
limited to 50 entries and 47 drivers signed in for the night.
Before the racing action, Butch participated in an autograph session
under the grandstands. Track officials claim, that at times, the
line of autograph seekers reached over a quarter of a mile in length!
The atmosphere of the event was overwhelming, and we are very proud to
have been fortunate enough to participate.
