Josh McGuire and the Stephens Motorsports team were in action over the 4th of July holiday weekend at the Portsmouth Raceway Park in Portsmouth, Ohio. The Mid-Atlantic Championship Series (MACS) sanctioned two high-profile events on Saturday and Sunday, July 5-6 at PRP. In the $10,000 to win 'Pepsi 75' on Saturday night, Josh was ninth fastest in qualifying and later won his heat race behind the wheel of his #34 entry. After starting from the outside of the front row for the 75-lap main event, Josh sported a great racecar, but unfortunately suffered mechanical woes that led to a twelfth place performance in the 'Pepsi 75.'

Due to the mechanical problems with the #34 car on Saturday, Josh wheeled Tim Hall's #11 car in the Sunday finale at Portsmouth. The Grayson, Kentucky native rallied to finish fifth in his heat race and advanced to the $5,000 to win 'Independence Day 50' by virtue of his second place effort in the B-Main. After starting nineteenth on the grid for the 50-lapper, Josh was able to gain seven positions en route to another twelfth place finish.

The Stephens Motorsports #34 team traveled to the legendary Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania last weekend for the 2nd Annual 'Firecracker 100.' The World of Outlaws Late Model Series sanctioned the high-profile event, which drew 62 cars all vying for the $40,000 top prize. Josh McGuire timed in thirty-seventh fastest during qualifying on Friday night, June 27 and later ran eighth in his competitive heat race. He was slated to compete in one of the B-Mains on Saturday evening, but Mother Nature wiped out the action on Saturday at Lernerville, as well as the rain date on Sunday. The C-Main, B-Mains, and the 100-lap 'Firecracker 100' are now rescheduled for Tuesday, July 29. You can view complete results from Lernerville online at www.worldofoutlaws.com.

Josh McGuire, who was behind the wheel of the Stephens Motorsports #34 C.J. Rayburn racecar for the second time last Friday night, June 20, visited victory lane at the Moler Raceway Park in Williamsburg, Ohio! Josh set fast time in qualifying and later won his heat race. After starting on the front row for the $2,000 to win main event, the Grayson, Kentucky driver wheeled his #34 entry to the win over Barry Doss, Bill Williams, Josh Williams, and John Whitney.

On Saturday evening, the action turned to the Portsmouth Raceway Park in Portsmouth, Ohio, as another $2,000 top prize was up for grabs. Josh qualified well and later ran third in the dash to earn the inside second row starting spot for the A-Main. He then ran amongst the leaders throughout the feature event at PRP and crossed underneath of the checkered flag in the fourth position behind winner R.J. Conley, Eric Wells, and Jackie Boggs.

Josh McGuire made his debut in the Stephens Motorsports #34 ride on Saturday evening, June 14 at the Portsmouth Raceway Park in Portsmouth, Ohio. The Independent Racing Series (IRS) sanctioned a $5,000 to win show on Saturday at PRP. In his first night with the Flemingsburg, Kentucky team, Josh wheeled the #34 C.J. Rayburn chassis to a fourth place effort in heat race action prior to being credited with an eighth place performance in the A-Main. That eighth place run was not easy; however, as Josh had to rally from the tail of the field twice due to an incident and a flat tire.
