In the years that Budget Racing has been around, the team has gone though many changes. We've moved up a class almost every season. We would like to thank our sponsors. Without your support we could not have done it.

1989-97

Enduro Racing including the old left and right at
Stafford Speedway, heats win at Waterford Speed Bowl and some figure eight wins also placed well at Riverside Park Speedway.

1998

Super Stock Division at Riverside placed 3rd in points.

1999

Sportsman Division at Riverside, overall 14th in rookie year.

2000

Jumped to Stafford Motor Speedway in a Late Model, which was a very tough decision. Our first season was a learning experience with many hardships, which only made us a stronger team for the next season.

2001

Definitely more competitive and stronger. Motor trouble in 2nd half of season set us back. Out of 48 drivers finished 18th in points.

2002

Our 2002 Stafford late model season had its ups and downs as with many things, we were consistently faster and improving throughout the season recording two 4^th place and one 8^th place finish as well as many just outside the top 10. As always we continued to learn in our strive to continually move forward. Our first season with our Pettit race engine had no complaints with power & our tutelage from Norm Plantier for chassis set up all continued to help us move forward throughout the season.

2003

2003 was a very mixed bag for us as racing often is with a very promising start, several top 5 and top 10 finishes, highlighted by a 3rd place podium finish and remained 5th in the points until race 10. But then the bad luck started with wrecks and chassis related dilemmas, loss of handicap by not being able to repair a bent chassis quickly enough to return for a tuesday rain date make-up race. In the last few races we were able to have some strong runs and finished 16th in points out of 52 drivers.

2004

Finally got a new car built (see some photos on this site) We paid very careful attention to detail on the build with special thanks to Frank Letina , Brian Melaine, and all who helped Ed and Myself during the build. Ed drove an exceptional race and Mike Pettit built us an excellent motor. We got 3rd, 4th, 5th place finishes, several top tens and all but two were top fifteen finishes. We made every race and no DNF’s resulting in a 7th place in points.

Ed finished 7th in points and won most improved driver of the year for 2004!

2005

2005 Great Season overall! We had one real bad wreck in the second race that required the frame machine and rebuilds. Otherwise encapsulated by seventeen top 10 finishes, nine top 5 finishes, two 3rd place finishes, one 2nd place finish and Our 1st Late Model WIN! There were only three races we finished out of the top 10 (two 11th places and 15th in our Fall Final) Our last race was the result of being dumped out of 3rd from an 8th place start. Oddly, no cautions came out, even though there were incidents and a hood on the back stretch. Unfortunately, that denied us the ability to be regrouped and possibly get back out front. We finished 4th in points. (from still being in the hunt for the point lead).
All in all, we accomplished our goals of top 5 in points and our first win.

2006

We started our 06 season strong with a 3rd place in the spring sizzler, however with our continually increasing level of competition, car count’s, and other luck factors, etc, we only were able to achieve podium one other time with our win in the 10th race, August 4th, and one other top 5 with a 5th in the 6th race. With numerous top 10’s all season ended us up in a very tight points battle in which we finished 6th in points for the season - all thing considered - not bad at all.

2007

2007 Goals: Again More top 5’s and podiums,
and hopefully Championship!

Thank you again to all who helped!!
