Donnie Lehman for Springfield, IL and a noted midget driver for 25 years, will get the oppuntinity to drive a Rocket house Late Model about six times in 2004. The schedule is not complete, but the WoO show at Tri-City Speedway maybe one of the shows. Look for more information later on when and where.
This came from the Chili Bowl association with Rick Eckert and Bart Hartman. They and Marks Richards talked and since the LM drivers drove Lehman's midget at the Chili Bowl, they wanted to let Donnie have a thill and drive a LM. That could be interesting to see how well that type racing works out. No fenders to fenders, four to eight cylinders and bigger tracks! What a change, but others have done it and it is still racing.
 
I think as part of that deal, you might see Rick Eckert & some other late model drivers at one of the midget shows at Belle-Clair this season.
 
That is also a possibility, but it may not be Belle Clair for sure. It will be a night when Bart Hartman or Rick Eckert has off from the LM and MARA has a night scheduled.
It would be fun to have one of them at Belle Clair.
