One of the hottest teams in Kenyon Midget Series action in recent weeks have been the four drivers of the Jeff Hill Trailer Sales team.
Since the three races in Michigan and two at Salem Speedway, the team has ranked up ten podium finishes out of a possible 15, three K&K Marketing fast times, two KRJ Race Products heat wins and an Advanced Racing Suspension Hard Charger award.

The team has been led by Landon Brown, who missed the first four races of 2025, with a career first win at Kalamazoo and following that up with a win at Salem Speedway.
Kyle Sheard, who has made every race this season, has shaken off some bad luck at the start of the year to score three podium finishes in the Michigan races.
Eli Fox scored a podium in the first Salem race which followed a second place run at Owosso Speedway and a sixth at Kalamazoo.
Jase Petty finished second in the Don and Mel Kenyon Classic at Anderson Speedway, added a fifth at Berlin and a seventh and third at Salem Speedway.

“Just working together,” Brown said of the team's recent performances. “Working together on the set-ups and how to conserve the tires.”
“Our goal is to have a one-two-three finish this year,” he continued. “The team has really improved over the past two years. This year has exceeded our expectations after coming back from an injury.”

Brown said the team will be using a similar set-up for the Sportsdrome race that was used on the cars for Salem Speedway.
“The Sportsdrome is my home track,” he said. “I watched the race there earlier in the year and it looks a lot like Salem.”
Sheard said the team has been more consistent and that it took some time for them to dial in the cars.
“Going to the newer tracks like up in Michigan leveled the playing field,” he said. “We have four cars using different set-ups and one of them is going to be right. We'll then use the best set-up.”
Sheard said there is a lot of team work taking place.
“I'm ready 100% for a change in luck,” he said.
Sheard will not be competing in the next two races, but will finish the season at Anderson Speedway.
