Dodging wet weather like seemingly all Midwestern racers and tracks have done early in the 2011 campaign, Springfield, Illinois racer Jordan Goldesberry kicked off his 5^th season of winged sprint car competition on April 23^rd at West Burlington's 34 Raceway, as the eastern Iowa track welcomed the inaugural event of the newly formed Monster Energy Drink Midwest Open Wheel Association. Timing in 15^th out of 39 racers on hand, Jordan would bring the #65 home 5^th in the GPC Race Products 3^rd heat race. As a result, the 20 year old racer would have to attempt to qualify for the main event thru the Kreitz Oval Track Products B-Main. The wheels literally came off for Goldesberry, as a broken right wheel center would send the bright yellow and blue RedStar Graphics, Mothers Wax, Simpson Race Products, GPC Race Products, NGK Spark Plugs, Modern Paving & Scrap, Ultrashield Race Products, SuperShox, Awesome Racewear, Alliance T-Shirts Maxim into a flip, ending the team's night.

 Six days later, the team would compete in another season opener, this time the lid lifter at Jacksonville Speedway.  A poor pill draw meant that Jordan would start his heat race buried outside the 4^th row. A 5^th place finish, coupled with the 8^th place starting spot, gave Jordan enough passing points to transfer to the A-Main. Despite managing to avoid early race carnage the decimated the original 18-car starting field, Goldesberry would eventually get into the action himself, going for a slow flip in turn two. However, due to the high rate of attrition, he was still able to salvage an 8^th place DNF result, even if the team couldn't salvage the top wing.

 The team will compete the next couple of Fridays at Jacksonville Speedway, including stop #2 on the Monster MOWA schedule on May 13^th for Coz's Pizza Night at the ¼ mile Mogan County Fairgrounds bullring.

Racecar spelled backwards is racecar. Racecar upside 
down is expensive.
