KUTV Miller "Motor Mouth" Kart Race- Race #1

Saturday morning, I woke up bright and early to drive to Tooele, a city in the middle of nowhere, for one of the promotions for my internship at KUTV2 News. The KUTV racing team competed against other media channels and radio stations (FOX, Clear Channel, The Zone...) in a one hour kart race...to the death! Each team member was required to race at least 10 minutes in the hour. Our team was first place THE WHOLE RACE! With 20 seconds to go, we were moments away from crossing the finish line, when a chunk of metal flew off our kart, and the kart died. It was like a scene from Taladega Nights or something. "Shake-n-bake!!!" Our kart failed to cross the finish line, but we ended coming in sixth place out of 9 or 10 since total laps were counted. (We beat FOX...which is all that matters...hehe.) This was the first of 4 races we will have. The overall winners will get money to donate to a charity. What a fun day at the Miller Motorsports Park!
