Auto racing is a sport built on powerful emotions, played out both on and off the track. Last Saturday night at Bridgeport Motorsports Park, those emotions took center stage during the running of the Joey Kay Memorial—a MASS 305 Sprint Series race honoring the late Joey Kay, a beloved competitor in the division.
Among the drivers was Brian Carber, a close friend of Kay’s. In a storybook outcome, Carber powered to victory in the memorial race, delivering a win that transcended competition. The winner’s purse of $4,012, boosted by $1,400 in bonuses for a total of $5,412, was certainly impressive—but it paled in comparison to the emotional weight of the moment.
There were tears. There were laughs. And above all, there was a deep sense of unity as the racing community gathered to remember one of its own. Many of Joey Kay’s friends joined Carber in Victory Lane, celebrating the win in a powerful tribute to their fallen friend.
With his victory in the Joey Kay Memorial, Brian Carber didn’t just win a race—he made news in the most meaningful way.
