The Utter Motorsports team along with driver Jason Utter came home from Wisconsin very disappointed. Crew Chief Tom Podaril and Jason Utter, along with the rest of the great crew are refocusing. The hard work and dedication to the racing sport has ups and downs and they are determined not to let this spoil the fun.

“When things are going good, enjoy them, because in this sport it can turn around in the next corner. My team has worked very hard and we are determined to get this 31 car into victory lane. I will be racing close to home the month of July; this will help us figure out what we need to do different. I can drive the car; I just have to have something I can drive. I will be in West Liberty and Columbus Junction the first week in July racing, so come on out, you never know when it might be my night to be in victory lane!” Utter stated.
