| New on the Audio Page for today from the Fulton Speedway: Pre race conversations: Willy Decker explains why he brought his big block out and looks ahead to the Victoria 200 today. Jeff Rudalavage tells me what he did on his rain out on Friday and how often he will be at Fulton. Tom Sears Jr. talks about a problem he had earlier and his hopes to have a nice finish later on. Alan Johnson remembers his nice run from Brewerton on Friday and his struggles last Sunday. Sam Reakes III gets ready to run his sons back up Sportsman and wonders how he will do. Jimmy Phelps talked about his hopes for later in the day and his plans to run a 358 on Sunday. After the heat races: Danny Johnson won the first Modified heat race of the night at Fulton and told me how the car felt. Alan Fink talked about winning his first ever DIRT Modified heat race and the outside line he ran. Alan Johnson told me about his late race pass of Sean Beardsley for win in the last Mod heat race. Billy Clark won the first Sportsman heat race and talked about the adjustment from Pro Stocks. Sam Reakes III spoke about his heat win and explained how he hit an inside ute tire earlier. Tommy Juhl chatted about his heat win and told me why he spun earlier in the make up feature. After the features: Alan Johnson talked about the pass of his brother for the lead and his Modified win at Fulton. Jimmy Phelps chatted about his runner up finish and the fun he had racing in a tight group. Tom Sears Jr. told me about his third place finish and his race down low with Jimmy Phelps. Tim Sears explains how he lost a few spots and still came home with a nice fourth place finish. Ryan Phelps talked about his top five finish and what happened to his car after the halfway mark. Sam Reakes IV won the rained out Sportsman feature from last week and talked about changes. Sam Reakes III told me about his surprising win as he and his son teased each other about it. I had a fun night last night as I returned to my original racing home, the Fulton Speedway. I got there right on time and got right to work. The first interview I did was just moments after I walked through the gate. There is that one plus a lot of others that I did along the way last night. There was a strong field of Modifieds with 27 cars attempting to qualify and they ended up running without a caution later in their feature race. The show also had a rained out Sportsman feature race from the previous week, plus Mod Lites and an Enduro. With all of that on the card, they got done at just a little past ten o’clock and that was with a short intermission. Nice job! The track conditions were slick and smooth all night long challenging the drivers set up knowledge. It was also nice to see a new winner as the dad of a long time Sportsman driver got a chance to shine and win a feature race. Don’t miss the interviews with the Reakes family to get a taste of the ribbing that will be taking place at their shop this week. The DIRT Modified race was a dandy as Alan Johnson went on to record his second feature win of the year and did so with a nice move to the inside of his brother early in the race. When it was all over, there were unofficially just nine cars on the lead lap. The battle for positions two through five was a real good one. Jimmy Phelps, Tom Sears Jr., Tim Sears and Ryan Phelps put on one heck of a show. Eventually Ryan would fade from the three in front of him, but it was still a real good show. As always, thanks to the folks at Fulton who let me roam where I may and give me all the information I need when I get confused. Although I must admit that I am convinced that they add some grade to that hill in the pit area every year. Also, make sure to check out my latest photo bin as well. We had a problem putting the photos up as we actually exceeded the space on our server where they live. My team was up well into the morning fixing it and those pics should be up sometime during the day today. I am so lucky to have them and so lucky that they keep the same hours I do as I did not originally discover the problem until well after midnight. Thanks to Webmaster Andy and Tony for all their hard work. Today I will be in Vernon, New York for the Victoria 200 at the Utica Rome Speedway. I should have pictures up later today from that event and I hope to see a lot of you guys there. Keep checking back and tomorrow I will chats from those drivers and lots of other photos from the weekend as well. See you then! |

| New on the Audio Page for today: Mitch Gibbs offers his perspective on the big crash he was involved in Sunday at Utica Rome. Larry Knowles talks about the Scott Dennison Memorial race taking place tonight at Woodhull. Chris Higgins tells me how he is adjusting to his new big block Modified so far this season. John Tiff looks ahead to tomorrow’s Victoria 200 and explains how the event will be run. Rich Vleck previews the first Hot Wings TV show airing on Rochester Time Warner tomorrow. Once again we have more cool stuff on the website today and a lot of it previews events that are taking place tonight and tomorrow. Plus some of the people who will be competing are also highlighted. Before I get going, I need to thank all of you out there for stopping by as we just had a wonderful week here at Doug’s Dirt Diary. Our numbers were through the roof and we just enjoyed our biggest Wednesday ever as well. Thanks for coming by and thanks to all of the anonymous forum posters who in their attempts to slam us, just reminded a lot of you that we are still here and still providing the best daily dirt racing content that there is on the web. Thanks to all of you! Tonight I will be at the Fulton Speedway and tomorrow I will be in Vernon, New York for the Victoria 200 at Utica Rome. It should be a fun weekend and with the rainy weather that plagued a lot of the northeast last night now pushing off to the ocean, it means that more good stories will be unfolding in the world of dirt track racing. Before I go to talk about what I have for you today. I wanted to say congrats to Pete Bicknell on winning the Ransomville opener and to Ron Cartwright Jr. for bagging his first Modified win of the year at Black Rock. Will there be another new winner today? I guess you'll have to go to your local dirt track and find out for yourself. Have fun! So now let’s talk about the new clips I have for you to listen to today on the Audio Page. First up, I talk to a driver who had a wild ride last Sunday. Mitch Gibbs tells me about the big crash he was involved in at Utica Rome Speedway and how he is feeling in the days following it. He told me what he saw, what he felt and the work he is doing to make it back to the track this Sunday for the Victoria 200. Larry Knowles talks about the Scott Dennison Memorial taking place today at Woodhull Raceway and tells me a little bit about the man who is being remembered tonight. He also talks about racing against Scott, explains how emotional it would be for him if he won tonight and why he likes the BRP Can Am Late Model Series so much. Good luck tonight Larry! Chris Higgins was back at a track he knows well as he was making his first ever DIRT Modified start at Rolling Wheels last Sunday. He told me what he has been learning so far this year, remembered his night before at Can Am and explained why set up is even more important in a big block compared to an open motor Sportsman. John Tiff runs down some of the talent that will be assembled tomorrow at the Victoria 200 at the Utica Rome Speedway. He also talks about how the qualifying procedure will work, reminds me about he big money Pro Stock race that is also on the card and the big change that everyone will notice in the infield this weekend. I’ll see you there! Rich Vleck talks about the debut of Hot Wings TV tomorrow night in the Rochester area on Time Warner Sports. He tells you what race is highlighted in this first episode, looks ahead to other races down the road and chats about his hopes to get the show in other markets as well. It will be on Sunday, May 11th at 10PM, Tuesday, May 13th at 5:30, Thursday, May 15th and 11PM and again on Sunday, May 18th at 5PM. I’ll see some of you tonight in Fulton and more of you tomorrow in Vernon. Have a great weekend and don’t let the keyboard commandos of the world get you down. They are only trying to make you feel bad so that they can feel better about themselves. See ya tomorrow! |

| New on the Audio Page for today: Ted Lamb talks about his Utica Rome crash last Sunday and the car he is working on right now! Keith Flach tells me why he towed into Rolling Wheels Raceway this past Sunday afternoon. Ally Amell explains why he got out of Antique Stock Cars and got into a DIRTCar Sportsman. Dave Pope looks ahead to a great year in Street Stocks and talks about what he learned last year. Dean Reynolds reports on the Empire Super Sprint test session from last weekend at Oswego. I hope all of you are fired up and ready to hit your favorite speedway this weekend. It sounds like the area south of Central New York could get some rain today but the rest of us should be fine. Then the rest of the weekend sounds like it will be fine. So that is good news. I’ll be doing another two race swing this time around as I am hitting the Fulton Speedway on Saturday and then Utica Rome on Sunday for their first Victoria 200 event. I’m staying close to home on Saturday as I actually need to be up in the morning on Sunday for Utica Rome! Yeah, I can actually wake up in the morning, I just prefer not to most of the time. But for this big show, I’ll easily make an exception. Yesterday I had the chance to hit the road and visit the race shop of veteran Modified racer Ted Lamb. He was one of the cars involved in the big crash at Utica Rome Speedway on Sunday and I wanted to hear how he was doing. Sure, I love the posts on the internet saying, “I spoke with Ted and he told me to tell you…”, but I would much rather hear it from the person themselves rather than a go between. That is why I started this website in the first place. So when I called him Thursday afternoon, he reminded me that he was only ten minutes away from my house. So I hopped in the car and headed over to see him. You can see the pics I took in the filmstrip and then hear his interview on the Audio Page. And then come back tomorrow for my chat with Mitch Gibbs. He was the one who was in the air when Ted came through! And yes, they do have different opinions on the incident. But for today, I have some great things for you to listen to on the Audio Page, starting with a heavily requested interview. Ted Lamb walked me through what he saw and felt in his big crash Sunday during the Modified feature at the Utica Rome Speedway. He also told me how he is doing right now, how much work he is doing this week to make sure he does not miss the Victoria 200 on Sunday and how many people have called him to see how he is doing. Glad you are okay Ted. Click on the picture of him and his family to see what I saw at his shop yesterday. Keith Flach tells me why he towed into Rolling Wheels Raceway this past Sunday afternoon and wrapped up his rainy weekend at the eastern part of the state. He also talked about how much he will travel this season, described the car he brought out to Elbridge and looked ahead to his first ever experience at The Fast Track. He went on to finish 22nd and 21st in the twin 50 lap features. Ally Amell explains why he got out of Antique Stock Cars and got into a DIRTCar Sportsman for the 2008 racing season. He told me about a rule change he did not like in the antiques, what appealed to him about the crate powered Modifieds and described how his health and a condition he is dealing with now affected his decision as well. Get well soon Ally and I hope you have a great season. Dave Pope looks ahead to a great year in Street Stocks and talks about what he learned last year about the car he is driving right now. He also told me about his brief appearance the night before at Glen Ridge, a recent second place finish and a problem they recently found on the car. Lesson was learned and as Dave says, “You get what you pay for!” Dean Reynolds reports on the Empire Super Sprint test session from last weekend at Oswego. He told me about the lap times, how they improved with each session and how much everyone is looking forward to this first ever show on Saturday, June 28th. I’ll be there for my second ever Oswego appearance! Today I will be in the studio for a while and then tomorrow I’ll be at the Fulton Speedway for what has the potential to be a real dandy of a show. They have some rainout stuff from last week that needs to made up so you’ll get some free racing! Hope to see you there. Then on Sunday, I hope to see all of you in Vernon New York for the Victoria 200. Have a great weekend everyone! |

| New on the Audio Page for today: Pat Ward recapped his two win weekend and looks ahead to this Sundays Victoria 200 at Utica Rome. Riche Pratt Jr. tells me how he won his second Modified race in a row at the Bridgeport Speedway. Mike Bowman told me how his car was working in the first hot lap session Sunday at Rolling Wheels. Mark Garman reports on last weekends big races at both Big Diamond and Grandview. In my latest Motor Sounds clip, hear the cars in the staging area at the Can Am Speedway. It was a “get caught up on things” kind of day for me on Wednesday as I did some running around town, picked up my daughters from the sitters and made it to a last minute appointment later in the day. Since I was ahead in the studio, I could keep it quiet and do some non-racing related things. But then after the kids went to bed, it was back to the computer to get some busy work done and write up the front page to the website. Some big rain came through our area during the day and early evening providing a little extra moisture for the tracks that will be running early this weekend. From the sounds of it, we should be okay this time around as the last few weekends have been full of cancellations instead of race results. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you guys. By the way, I got a lot of emails about my recent chat with Bob McCreadie. While a lot of people picked up different things from the conversation, I did get a lot of thoughts from you guys on the language itself. I must tell you that I went back and forth on the thing so many times. But when I spoke with the people who know him best and asked their opinions, they were overwhelming in their response. “That’s how he talks when you are at his shop and there are no reporters or photographers around. Air it, it’s real!” So I did. But don’t worry, it is not the start of a trend. The trend has always been about new conversations with the people who make this sport happen. And that is what I have for you again today on the Audio Page. First up, I check in with a driver who had himself a pretty good weekend. Pat Ward tells me about the pair of Modified feature wins he had on Saturday and Sunday. He talked about his unexpected trip to Five Mile Point, the fast car he has had at Utica Rome and his hopes for this Sundays Victoria 200. Yep, the Gypsum boys were hot last weekend! Richie Pratt Jr. talks about winning the Modified feature at Bridgeport Speedway for the second week in a row. He told me how he worked his way through the field from 17th, what he did to the car in between races and offered some advice on running on a heavy track. Congrats Richie! Mike Bowman had just finished a hot lap session at Rolling Wheels this past Sunday and talked to me about how the car felt to him. He told me how good the track looked, what he did with his off night on Saturday and the fun he had at the fishing hole! Later on he would finish 18th and 24th in the 50 lap features. Mark Garman recaps the weekend of racing at Big Diamond Raceway and Grandview Speedway. He talks about the one driver who may have been nervous going across the scale after his win, another who has won three of his four feature races and the charges from the back in the Modified features. I got to get down there! Hear some engine noise from the hot lap session this past Saturday night at the Can Am Speedway in my latest Motor Sounds clip. There are a lot of different kinds of cars in this one so turn your speakers up and see if you can identify them all. I’ll be back in the studio today with cough drops in hand ready to go. I have some things set up already and have a list of folks that I want to track down. Come back tomorrow to see who I get ahold of. See you then! |

| New on the Audio Page for today: Tony Veneziano recaps the latest World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series race from Knoxville, Iowa. Kevin Kovac talks about two Woo Late Model races that were run this past weekend in Missouri. Billy Pauch Jr. remembers his last three races including his first win of the year at Big Diamond. Vic Coffey tells me about his Late Model weekend and the new baby boy he has back home. Brad Shova told me about his 358 Modified background and explained why he was at Can Am. Jeremy Pitcher chatted about a problem they were having at Rolling Wheels during hot laps. It is another nice day on the website today as we have interviews with folks all across the dirt racing landscape. I was very busy in the studio and have a lot of chats still in the can and several of those were recorded yesterday. Make sure to come back tomorrow too as we have chats with two time weekend winner Pat Ward and back to back winner Richie Pratt Jr. And who knows who we may track down today! Guess you’ll have to come back tomorrow and every day to see. We saw some nice numbers from Monday as a lot of you not only checked out our newest in-car video on the JonesCAM Video Page, but I saw that many of you starting digging through the archives too. That is how I can tell that we have gained some new listeners as most of you who have been with us all along have watched the videos right when the initially aired. For those of you who are new, I’ll have a special segment for you next week that I hope you’ll like. As for today, I’ll be back in the studio and hopeful that I can maybe even work in a shop shoot before the weekend gets here. But so many of the teams are looking to clean up before I get there in an effort to look good, so often we never get the chance to connect. I’ll give you guys some advice that my mother in law gave my wife and I. She said, “Don’t ever be afraid to have someone over just because you feel that your place is a mess. They are your friends, they’ll understand. The big thing is that you get to see them, don’t care about the other stuff!” Good advice…so call me or send me an email at doug@dougsdirtdiary.com and I just won’t shoot the pile of sheet metal sitting in the corner. Now with that said, let’s talk in more detail about the new stuff I have for you to listen to on the Audio Page. First up, I check in on a series that just had the last two weeks off due to weather. Tony Veneziano talks about the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series action that took place this past weekend in Knoxville, Iowa. He told me about the big crash in the feature, the two big name drivers that battled each other for the lead and the wild weather that postponed the Friday night show. Kevin Kovac reported on the two World of Outlaws Late Model races that took place this past weekend in the Show Me State. He told me about the one driver who switched to a new car to get the win on Friday, the driver who won with an experimental car on Saturday and how tight the standings are right now! Billy Pauch Jr. remembers his last three races from the past weekend including his first win of the year at Big Diamond, his fourth place run in Virginia and a tough luck outing he had in a Midget on dirt Saturday night. He also explained why it is important to get to the front fast on Friday nights, ran down his schedule for this weekend and looked ahead to his upcoming ARCA race at Pocono. Vic Coffey tells me about his Late Model weekend that could have easily resulted in a pair of top six finishes and described what prevented that from happening. He also went over his plans to return to Modified racing this weekend and told me about the drawn out birth of his new baby boy Kasey John. Congratulations to both Vic, Jillian and their entire families. Brad Shova told me about his 358 Modified background and explained why he was at Can Am Speedway this past Saturday night. He also told me about his past experiences at Mohawk International, how much the weather channel helped him make his decision on where to go and remembered his test and tune session from a few weeks ago. Look for a pic of him and his #4 car in my Can Am photo bin from Saturday. Jeremy Pitcher chatted about a problem they were having at Rolling Wheels during the hot lap session and told me how confident he was in his team’s ability to find what was wrong. He described what the car was doing, remembered his heat win from the night before at Fulton and talked about the rain that halted them from completing the feature. Come on back tomorrow for more from the world of dirt track racing. I hope you like the stuff we have for today and I hope you all found something you liked. Come back tomorrow for more. See you then! |

| New on the Audio Page for today: Bob McCreadie was at Can Am to help a friend and paused to tell me how he has been feeling. Duane Howard recaps his weekend that included a pair of second place finishes and a feature win. Kevin Bolland explains how they rebounded from two wrecks to win Sunday at Tri City Speedway. Brett Tonkin tells me how he is feeling after his accident on the drive home from Virginia. Bryan Howland offers his thoughts on his new in car video on our JonesCAM Video Page. It was a beautiful day here in Central New York on Monday, nothing like the wet and cold weather we enjoyed all weekend long. I got a lot done in the studio during the day and again last night. But the combination of sick kids and a pair of sick parents made the day a little tougher than we thought it would be. Both my wife and I caught the cold that our kids brought home from the baby sitters who we are each a step slow today. Darn! As you can see, I have a lot of real good stuff for you all to listen to today including my conversation with Bob McCreadie from Saturday night at Can Am. He was advising his good friend Pierre Dagenais (who bought Bob’s familiar #9 last year) and spending some time with his youngest son as well. Now I want to warn you before you listen to this clip as the language is more like what you would hear at a race shop and not on the radio. But as a lot of people told me, this is real and this is how he speaks when you catch him at home. I hope you enjoy it! I also want to encourage all of you to check out a few things on the site. First of all, make sure to check out our latest in car video on the JonesCAM Video Page. It is one of the best things we have ever recorded! Plain and simple. I know you are going to love it. Then make sure to click on the picture of the mangled L82 of Ted Lamb at the top of our filmstrip at the right side of the page. From the looks of the picture that Brian Pokorny sent us, we are fortunate to still have Ted with is. What a brutal image. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, this one is a lot more than that! Wow. Now let’s talk a little more about the new clips I have for you to listen to on the Audio Page. First up, I check in with a dirt racing legend who is adjusting to life away from the driver’s seat. Bob McCreadie stopped a lot of folks in their tracks when he pulled his familiar hauler in the pit area at the Can Am Speedway on Saturday night. After his son got everything unloaded he talked to me about how he is feeling these days, confirmed that his driving days are over and explained why he tried to keep both his sons out of racing. Language warning on this clip as this is just a laid back conversation just like those that take place away from microphones everyday! You guys know me, I do not censor or edit, so this is just as we recorded it. Duane Howard recaps his weekend that included a pair of second place finishes and a feature win. He told me about his Super DIRTCar Series experience at Virginia Motor Speedway, his chase of Billy Pauch Jr. on Friday night and his win at Grandview on Saturday. Not a bad three day stretch huh? Kevin Bolland explains how they rebounded from two wrecks on Friday and Saturday to win Sunday at Tri City Speedway. He talked about the incident he was involved in at Virginia Motor Speedway, the thrashing they did to get ready to run on Friday and the how fulfilling it was to come back on Sunday with a feature win. These are exactly the kind of stories that I love to tell. Congratulations to both you and your team...nice work! Brett Tonkin tells me how he is feeling after his accident on the way home from Virginia Motor Speedway early Friday morning. He tells me how badly damaged their truck is, wonders how he will get back down there to pick up the racecar and tells me how his Thursday went at the racetrack. Don’t let it get you too down Brett and I hope everything works out as well as it can. Good luck! Bryan Howland offers his thoughts on his new in-car video from the Fulton Speedway Saturday night that you can see right now on our JonesCAM Video Page. He talked about how much the video helped his team diagnose an engine issue, how much fun it was to watch later and how he can’t wait to do it again. If only the rain would have held off, we could have watched his feature race too! I’ll be back in the studio again today and have several things that I plan to do. Plus I have a long list of folks to call and I will be doing that all day long. Come back tomorrow for more including updates on both World of Outlaws Series. See you then! |

| New on the Audio Page from Rolling Wheels Raceway on Sunday night: Pre race conversations: Matt Sheppard tells me about his win Thursday night at VMS as he gets ready take on The Wheels. Jimmy Phelps recapped his Virginia experience and chatted about the need for a local victory. Ryan Phelps talked about a shock adjustment he was making and remembered his race on Thursday. Gary Tomkins remembers his three Rolling Wheels wins from last year and chats about his new car. Ryan Odasz tells me why he towed out to Elbridge and speaks about his first few races at Fonda. Justin Haers describes a problem he is trying to fix on his Modified and talks about Virginia. Dale Planck tells me about his hopes for the day and talked about his past at Rolling Wheels. Dale Planck talks about being the fast timer in qualifying for the Super DIRTCar Series event. After the heat races: Tim Sears Jr. told me how surprised he was to win the first Sportsman heat race of the night. Jipp Ortiz explained how he got in a jingle early on and still went on to win his heat race. Mark Chiddy talked with me about his Sportsman heat win and his new Saturday night home. Eric Giguere made a nice move on lap six to take the lead and went on to win his heat race. Dale Planck told me how good his car felt in his heat win and how stumped he was on a set up. Billy Decker chatted about his heat win and remembered his Saturday night performance at Can Am. Brett Hearn reacted to his heat win and told me about his third place finish Thursday in Virginia. Gary Tomkins won the final Modified race and described what his car was doing along the way. After the feature races: Billy Decker talks with announcer Shane Andrews about his 50 lap SDS win at Rolling Wheels. James Michael Friesen spoke with announcer Joe Marotta about his first ever Rolling Wheels win. Dale Planck tells me how good it feels to record his first ever Modified victory at Rolling Wheels. Steve Paine went over his two races at Rolling Wheels including his second place in the final event. Danny Johnson recaps his night and tells me how much better he was in the second 50 lapper. Brett Hearn talks about the pair of top five finishes he recorded at the SDS races at Rolling Wheels. Jimmy Phelps ran down his race night at Rolling Wheels and commented on each fifty lapper. I had another fun day on Sunday as I took the thirty minute drive to Elbridge, New York for the big season opening show at Rolling Wheels Raceway. Now every race at this track is a big one so it is always fun to go and see the traveling teams in person that I usually only talk with on the phone from the studio. It was a sunny day but a cool one as well. And because many tracks fell victim to the weather this past weekend, there were a lot of hungry drivers on hand who were more than ready to race on the fast 5/8’s mile track! There was a pair of Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTCar Series races on the schedule, so there was a lot of big name talent in the pit area. The usual Series chasers were there and a few surprises as well. A total of thirty nine Modifieds showed up, plus thirty two DIRTCar Sportsman were in the pit area for this show as well. I did get to do a fair amount of interviews (27 total.) and most of those are on the site today. I have some nice pre race conversations, chats with all the heat winners as well as my usual top five from the Modified race as well. Of course, when there is a pair of fifty lappers on the card, I stay right out of the pit area in between races! That is why you don’t get anything to listen to after the first race. These guys have so much work to do and not a lot of time to get it done, so I stay out of their way and let them work. You want to see some frenzied folks, just head down to the pit area to watch these teams go over their cars in between races. It is intense to say the least. Also make sure to check out my new photo bin from the show as there are well over a hundred shots for you to look at. Just click on the wide shot of the cars coming out of turn four in our filmstrip to see them Plus I got some more pics from our photographer friends and you can hit Latest Pics to see those. Thanks to everyone who sends me pictures. We all appreciate it so much. I also want to encourage all of you to check out our latest in-car stuff on the JonesCAM Video Page. Webmaster Andy set our camera up on the Bryan Howland Sprint Car Saturday night at Fulton. We have the hot laps, heat and dash for you to watch. If only the rain would have held off, then we would have had the feature too. Thanks so much to the Howland family, their crew and everyone involved for allowing this to happen. I hope you all enjoy it. Plus I heard about the brutal crash that happened last night in the 358 Modified feature race at Utica Rome. Mitch Gibbs, Ted Lamb and Jamie Christian were involved and from what I heard, it was pretty scary. I spoke with an official from the speedway last night and was told that everyone is going to be alright. Due to HIPA laws we cannot say much more than that (got to keep thinking of new ways to keep lawyers working) but I will do my best to track these people down this week so you can hear firsthand from them exactly how they are doing and what happened. I know there are a few sore race drivers out there today…and I wish you nothing but the best! And good luck to all of you who banged up your racecars this weekend. Better the car than you…right? Plus…be sure to come back tomorrow for my candid and uncensored conversation with Modified legend Bob McCreadie. We chatted Saturday night at Can Am as he was there as advisor for an old friend. See you then and have a great Monday. |
