They’re not slowing down, for you or anyone else.
Coupeville speed demons Finley and Scotlyn Helm continue to tear up the track at the Monroe Speedway, piling up trophies and earning mad respect.
The duo was back at it this past weekend, punching the pedal through the metal while dad Jerry kept their turbo-charged rides hummin’ along.
Saturday was qualifying day, with Scotlyn missing out on setting a new track record by just four tenths of a second.
Lil’ sis, who has the most time behind the wheel of any of Lindsey Helm’s three children, qualified 2nd in her class, before storming to a win in the main event.
Older sibling Finley, who is headed to middle school in a few weeks, qualified in 5th, saw her ride get a complete suspension rebuild, then bounced back to claim a personal-best 3rd place finish.

Returning to the track Sunday, the Helm sisters made a serious run at nabbing all the prizes on day two.
Finley racked up 2nd place in her heat, and a 3rd place in the main event, with Scotlyn roaring to another victory in her finale.
Riding on tires provided by a scholarship from Wilkie Excavating, the Helm sisters made Pops beam.
“These girls really worked hard this weekend,” Jerry Helm said. “Couldn’t be more proud of their fight and perseverance.”
“Eat my dust!”
