Local Racing Community Keeps Uselton’s 2019 Season Alive

Eureka, CA (August 22, 2019) - Thanks to the kindness of two fellow racers and a fan, MKinzy Uselton's 2019 season in Redwood Acres Raceway's Legends division will continue.

In her most previous race at RAR on July 20, Uselton was involved in a scary incident which ended up sending her to the hospital. Uselton was uninjured but her blue and yellow #29 Legend car was severely bent to the point where she was going to be unable to compete in the final few events for the season because the damage was so significant.

Thanks to a couple folks in the local racing community, Uselton’s season will be able to continue.

Redwood Acres Raceway Legends division points leader, Leonard Ward offered to sell Uselton a brand-new Legends chassis at a considerable discount. In addition, RAR late model star Luke Hall also pitched in to help in the purchase. Andrew Dilts Trucking also stepped in to assist Uselton’s race team with parts for the new ride. The end result will allow Uselton to return to the track and finish out the season at RAR.

Uselton is currently fifth in the Legends division standings after missing the most recent event on August 10. Not being able to partake in that night’s races dropped her down from third in the standings. The new car will allow her to hopefully finish the year in the top five in points. Though Uselton is eliminated from winning the track championship, she still has a legitimate chance of moving back to third.

Only two races are left on the schedule for Uselton on the Acres pavement with events on September 7 and September 21. The September 7 race will be Fan Appreciation Night at RAR and will be a good chance for fans to meet MKinzy and see her new car. MKinzy will be behind the wheel of her 250cc outlaw kart September 28 and October 12 as the season for the Humboldt Outlaw Karts also nears its conclusion.

Uselton and her entire team wish to send their sincere thanks and appreciation to Leonard Ward, Luke Hall and Andrew Dilts Trucking for allowing her to continue the season in the Legends division. MKinzy would also like to give a special thank you to her Papa Brett Uselton who is worked tirelessly in preparing the new car. Thank you as always to MKinzy's sponsors: Auntie Pam Motorsports, Farmers Insurance, Mandi Ross Agency, Four Star Realty, John’s Used Cars & Wreckers, Redwood Mechanical, Bay Side Realty, Howard’s Body Shop, Happy Donuts, Higgins Brothers, Joe’s Auto Glass, The Bus Sisters, Miclette Family Racing and Brent Mack.

Uselton Plans To Overcome Adversity As 2019 Season Nears End

Eureka, CA (July 25, 2019) – 2019 has been a season of major change for young MKinzy Uselton. The Eureka native came into the year with a new confidence after participating in the Lakeport Indoor Outlaw Kart circuit through the winter months. That experience has helped carry her to perhaps her most successful season behind the wheel in her Legend car at Redwood Acres Raceway and her 250cc outlaw kart with the Humboldt Outlaw Karts.

That isn’t to say that there hasn’t been any bad luck this season. In fact, the worst of it took place in her most recent race in the Legends division at RAR on July 20 when contact sent her hard into the front stretch wall. While Uselton was able to get out of the car on her own, she went to the local hospital for precautionary measures. Everything proved fine in regards to her health however the damage done to her car was extensive enough that she will be unable to participate in the final three events at Redwood Acres Raceway this season. Sadly, that means that Uselton will not be able to potentially earn her best points finish as she is currently third in the division standings.

While her season in a Legends car has come to a premature end, Uselton still has four races left racing on the dirt in her 250cc outlaw kart with the Humboldt Outlaw Karts. Just as she has on the pavement in 2019, Uselton has also shown great improvement on the dirt with a new poise and sureness that has allowed her to be positioned second in the standings. Only two points-paying events remain on the schedule but the deficit of 13 is not impossible to overcome.

Uselton’s next race with the Humboldt Outlaw Karts takes place Saturday August 3. MKinzy and her team would like to thank her sponsors for their support: Auntie Pam Motorsports, Farmer’s Insurance, Mandi Ross Agency, Four Star Realty, John’s Used Cars & Wreckers, Redwood Mechanical, Bay Side Realty, Howard’s Body Shop, Happy Donuts, Higgins Brothers, Joe’s Auto Glass, The Bus Sisters, Miclette Family Racing and Brent Mack.

Uselton looking to improve upon a successful 2017

Eureka, CA (April 14, 2018) – With only two weeks left before the start of the 2018 season at Redwood Acres Raceway, MKinzy Uselton and her number 29 team enter the year with excitement and higher expectations. It will be her third year of racing on RAR’s pavement in the Legends division.

In 2017, Uselton greatly improved on her rookie season which was her first time ever behind the wheel of any racecar. Last year, Uselton came up a bit short of winning the track championship with a second-place finish in the standings. Her best finish was a second on the July 10th race. She also scored her first victory of any kind in the May 13th heat race.

2018 also marks the return to outlaw kart racing for the young driver. It will be her second year on the dirt as she will once again be racing in the 250 class. The first race of the year for the Humboldt Outlaw Karts is this coming weekend, Saturday April 21st at the Redwood Acres Fairgrounds.

The Uselton race team would like to thank their partners whose support is greatly appreciated; Jim Redd Four Star Realty, John’s Used Cars & Wreckers, Site Master West, Joe’s Auto Glass, Higgins Brothers, Bayside Realty, Howard’s Body Shop, The Bud Sisters Salve, Happy Donuts Express Asian Food and Eureka Payments.
