TOP 5 AT CJ SPEEDWAY HEADLINES BUSY WEEK |
Posted June 19, 2022
The
McKenna Motorsports team was ultra-busy from June 13-18
in lucrative events across the states of Kansas and Iowa.
Things kicked off out at Belleville High Banks in Belleville,
Kansas where Charlie McKenna pulled double duty with both
the XR Super Series and the Malvern Bank Series in the
'Belleville Dirt Nationals.' In XR action, Charlie finished
fifth in his heat race and seventeenth in Monday's $20,000
to win feature on the monstrous 1/2-mile speedplant, while
he ran second in his heat race and eighteenth in Tuesday's
$40,000 to win main event on the tiny 1/4-mile infield
oval.
Behind the wheel of his familiar #22 entry
with the Malvern Bank Series at Belleville, Charlie placed
fifth in his heat race on Monday evening prior to claiming
an eleventh place effort in the A-Main, which shelled
out a $5,000 payday. In a similar $5,000 to win SLMR battle
on the 1/4-mile track on Tuesday night, the Ames, Iowa
standout finished fourth in his heat race, led the first
eight circuits of the feature, and eventually crossed
underneath the checkers in the tenth finishing position.
Following a few days away from the racetrack,
the team rolled into CJ Speedway in Columbus Junction,
Iowa and Adams County Speedway in Corning, Iowa over the
weekend for two additional SLMR showdowns. On Friday at
CJ, Charlie placed third in his heat race prior to steering
to a strong fifth place performance in the $3,000 to win
headliner behind only victor Chad Holladay, Jason Hahne,
Luke Goedert, and Justin Kay. At Corning on Saturday in
the $3,500 to win weekend finale, Charlie wound up seventh
in his stacked heat race before passing eight competitors
during the 25-lapper en route to a steady eleventh place
showing. Full results from each of these races can be

Posted June 5, 2022
A
trio of $3,000 top prizes were on the line from June 2-4
in Malvern Bank Series contests in the states of Iowa
and Nebraska. On Thursday night in the weekend lid lifter
at Kossuth County Speedway in Alogna, Iowa, Charlie McKenna
timed in second fastest overall during qualifying and
ran third in his heat race prior to rolling off from the
pole position in the 25-lap feature. Charlie was then
running in the second position during the contest when
a broken throttle linkage dropped him to a disappointing
fourteenth place effort.
At Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa on Friday evening,
Charlie placed second in his heat race and led most of
the 25-lap main event before settling for a strong runner-up
performance behind only victor Tad Pospisil. In the weekend
finale on Saturday at Off Road Speedway in Norfolk, Nebraska,
Charlie ran sixth in heat race action, but later blasted
past seven competitors during the 30-lapper to salvage
a hard-fought ninth place showing. Complete results from
