Myrtle Beach 400 Rained Out!

Jake Engle returns to Myrtle Beach, SC to compete in the Myrtle Beach 400 on November 28th after it was rained out last weekend.

18246201-530Jake Engle from La Mesa, CA will again be competing against the toughest short track racing competition in the United States. He returns to the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Speedway for another attempt at completing the Myrtle Beach 400 this Saturday, November 28.

The race was to be held on the 22nd of November but was rained out after 43 laps. Engle had a great run going after starting 40th . He had made his way up to 23rd by the time the red flag dropped on lap 43 due to rain.

Engle is looking forward to the race this weekend since the weather is predicted to be great for racing at the challenging South Carolina track.

He has been the beneficiary of several tips from the more accomplished drivers who have gone out of their way to make the 17 year old La Mesa, California driver feel welcome. However, tips in the pits do not translate to generosity or room on the track as he quickly learned once the race was on.

“I have so much to learn from these guys,” Engle stated.  “I just hope I am worthy of the competition. It can be a bit daunting for me to be racing against guys like Scott Riggs and all the other professional drivers here since I have 9 races under my belt. I just hope to learn from them, race them clean and finish the race in one piece.”
