PIGG'S POINTS
"Tim had been focused on track season for quite a while. After missing 2020 there was a lot of time to grind. He has gotten so much stronger that now he can access his speed at the end of the races. We've been planning a 1:47 for a few years and it is great to see his hard work pay off. He has a lot of great races in front of him. Jared Vazquez was right with him but went down hard in the final turn so we know they are both right where we want to be heading into the championship phase of the season. I'm really proud of how a Jenn ran. She has worked hard for a long time and it is great to see that work pay off." -- Head coach Jeff Pigg
