Inside Line Promotions – SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (May 15, 2023) – Kaleb Johnson has a familiar racing schedule this weekend.
Johnson will venture to Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday before tackling Spartan ER Night at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D., on Sunday.
It’s the same schedule that he had last weekend, but both nights rained out. It marked the fifth of six scheduled races at Knoxville Raceway to rain out this season and was the season opener at Huset’s Speedway.
“Rain has hammered us this year,” he said. “We’ve lost six of our 10 scheduled races to wet weather so far.”
Johnson was able to produce a pair of top 10s during his lone visit to Knoxville Raceway this season, but his sights are set on success at Huset’s Speedway in 2023. Last year he garnered the Rookie of the Year Award and a fifth-place result in the championship standings in the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars division thanks to six top fives – tied for the third most – and nine top 10s.
“I kind of did surprise myself,” he said. “As the year went on we got better and started qualifying better. Putting yourself in the redraw gives you a chance to win. Being patient is my model for this year.
“The biggest things I learned last year were consistency and probably patience. I had chances to win a couple of races last year. You get into traffic so quick. You have to make moves, but be patient at the same time. You’re not going to win it on Lap 18 or when you’re lapping the first car. You have to be patient, but also make aggressive moves.”
