Jimmy Cummins' 2015 Mississippi Thunder Speedway Experience

[Debbie Cummins]

Yep, another road trip for Cummins Racing! This is the 2nd one of the season (in March they went to Humboldt, Kansas, for the "Battle of the Bullring"). Jimmy and Bruce are in Fountain City, Wisconsin, for the 4th Annual B-Mod Nationals, a 3-day Race paying $20,000.00 to win on Saturday night. Bruce just called me to say they got to the track and are waiting to park the trailer. This track is along the Mississippi River, just 8 miles north and across the river from Winona, MN. Also attending this huge race from our local area are Robbie Eilers with the 3E, Ryan Eilers with the 3, Steve Maisel with the M41, and Doug Tye with the 4d. There are only 6 drivers from IL signed up and 5 of them are from our area! 162 drivers registered for this race!
Robbie, Ryan, Steve, and Doug were all there yesterday for practice. Jimmy and Bruce left early this morning to make the 8-1/2 hour trip to get there. I'm home with the 2 so far behaving racing dogs but they promise to call and update me on a regular basis. So in the meantime, I will sit here with my Cummins Racing green attire on and wait for good racing results to come my way.

News from yesterday....Steve Maisel was hit by another driver in practice but I'm sure he will have that M41 car looking top-notch again for today. I will post updates on all of our racers when I get them.

Good Luck to all our guys racing up there!!! Stay safe and bring home a winner!!!

Good luck Jimmy and all the other locals!

Is Steve's car hurt Debbie?

 

[Debbie Cummins]

Bruce said it's all fixable. Steve took extra body side parts so he can change them out. I think he'll be OK. I'll ask the next time they call. Didn't sound too bad. They said Steve calmed down. (haha) Hate to have that happen in practice before the races even start!

Here's some pics from RacinDirt.com. I sure hope they take one of the 19C today!!! (hint, hint)
They have funny-looking tall trees up there!

I'm sure Steve has Shad working his tail off!

B-Main results:
Robbie Eilers started 2nd and finished 4th in B-Main #2
Doug Tye started 11th but did not finish in B-Main #5. He was scored 14th of 17 cars. Cars finishing 10 > 17 were DNFs.
Jimmy Cummins started 4th with Ryan Eilers starting 6th right behind him in B-Main #6. Jimmy was a DNF, scored as finishing 15th of 17 cars.. Ryan Eilers finished 3rd!!
Steve Maisel is down as the 16th driver in the final B-Main #8 race. I'm assuming he will be a DNS and have his car back running for tomorrow's races.
They still have 2 more B-Mains to run and then the Feature race for tonight.

 

[Debbie Cummins]

So it looks like they took the top 2 of each B-Main for the Feature tonight (8 x 2 = 16 cars plus 14 more to make a field of 30 cars for tonight's feature race. On second thought, I have no idea how they decided who made the Feature! Some by passing points, others by wins. It's screwy to me. None of our guys made tonight's feature. There's always tomorrow night!.
