John Gill is a big name late model driver and has been around for many years. He is known as "The Modern Day Cowboy". The first time I saw him race was at the second annual Dream 100 race when he led most of the race only to finish second after a late race pass by Scott Bloomquist. His home...

The only way to pass was for someone to make a mistake in traffic with lap cars. O'Neal had bee very strong with open track in front of him. The caution at which O'Neal was penalized was late enough in the race that with the field down to 12 cars remaining it would have been open ground to the...

sean2 - Are you going? If so, maybe I'll see you there. I'll be saving some seats for some of the DSP on the front side high up just past the finish line.

July 31st, the same day as the World of Outlaws Late Models race at Haubtstadt. The Outlaws will then be at Tri-City on August 1st.

When Tri-State Speedway was in its heyday ten years ago the biggest reason for its success was not just the fact that there were UMP late models and winged sprints on the program. Sure, there were ususally 30 LMs, 30 sprints and 40-45 modifieds but each week was a special night. Tommy Helfrich...

Once again something does not make sense here. Why would Korte feel it necessary to appologize for something he was not involved in. 00BusDriver stated that Korte was in another drivers pit area speaking with that driver when the altercation took place. To me that sounds as if he is saying...

You can't just open a business and expect people to show up without any effort to attract people. It is called promoting. It doesn't help the track to hold a major race it couldn't afford in the first place. I do wonder if this may be some form of strategy to avoid paying XDCS. If so, it...

I had also heard about the increased business responsibility but forgot to mention it.

Roger! Will do.

One major factor I am aware of and can speak of is the fact that his dad had some serious health issues a while back. Donnie's dad was a major part and influence in his racing. It may be that his dad can not go any more and that may be a big part of what put the fire out. I understand that...

LOL!!! What more can I say.

Sorry about the lack of an offer on the steak. I probably did meet you around Tudor's rig at some point. Joann was just reminding me that you did the Tudor and McCammon stickers. I am sure that you remember Juli. She graduated from Junior college last weekend and is on her way to being a...

No. It wasn't me. I was grilling a 16 oz. rib eye at home last night. In fact, I have never announced professionally. I did do some interviews in the pits at a Mount Vernon Summernationals race a few years ago. I did audio work in the Army and was a radio and television major at SIU at one...

Darrell Waltrip throughout his racing career always said what he thought first before he thought about measuring his remarks in a tactful and diplomatic way. He also did his share of rubbing and bumping as many others have done, particularly the successful ones, but his reputation was always...

Is Bud Selig running NASCAR too?

I have read some of the posts and glanced through some of the rest and would like to give a bit of assessment on Tony Stewart myself. I have watched a lot of NASCAR through the years and have not seen a lot of drivers that just seem to be out of control as often as Tony does. My first up close...

Sean - I belive that the story went something like this. Nick was Ron Fisher's girlfriend's/wife's son. When Ron and the lady split the racing career was over. To put Nick Lyon's career in perspective you have to remember that his mentor, Ron, was never known as a driver that ever seemed to...

It sounds like the mods are running right now. It sounded like the late models finished in the last half hour. I am surprised that they were able to race with the amount of rain that we have had. There was water standing everywhere yesterday and then we had heavy rains overnight.

It was mentioned on a thread on 4M that the initial $3,000,000 loan also paid for a couple houses and some less illustrious financal issues. Even so, the Greers have been trying, even through Ebay, to sell the track for that same minimum bid of $3,000,000. The track is worth a lot of money but...

I received word from a crewman for Wes Stedinger that the Stedinger will be at Mt. Vernon Saturday night in the 1 car.
