<\/p>\nJordon Mallett produced a top-10 result last Saturday during his debut at Farmington Empire Speedway.<\/p>\n
Mallett and car owner A.G. Rains tackled the 29th annual Queen\u2019s Royal, which featured nearly 50 cars. Mallett timed in fifth quickest in his group and he finished second in a heat race to earn a spot into the Queen of the Hill. Finishing ninth in that garnered the ninth starting spot for the A Main.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Queen\u2019s Royal is a 410 race, but we had a 360 in and we were pretty good,\u201d he said. \u201cThere were a whole bunch of cars there and only a handful of other drivers who also had a 360 in. We timed in good and ran second in our heat race. That locked us into the dash. In the feature, we were really good given how down we were on horsepower compared to the 410s. It stunk when the track slowed down and latched up some rubber. That made it harder to go forward with what we were up against, but we had a really good car all night long and capitalized when we were able to. It was nice to be racing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mallett\u2019s eighth-place result was his 13th top 10 of the season and his 11th top-10 finish in his last 12 races.<\/p>\n
A USCS Series doubleheader is up next for the team. The action begins on Friday at Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, Ga., before Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Ala., hosts a race on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a long time since we\u2019ve been at Dixie,\u201d Mallett said. \u201cI remember winning there the last time. We don\u2019t get to go to Talladega often, but we typically run well there and have won some races there. I\u2019m looking forward to getting back to both tracks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mallett was victorious during his last race at Dixie Speedway in July 2018 and he finished second during his most recent visit to Talladega Short Track in September 2024.<\/p>\n
