Birky said he was undecided between goin to the Xtreme races in the Carolina's or coming to Pevely and the Mile on Sunday. He said he really likes Pevely and needs to work on some new set-ups for next year. He also mentioned winning last years Mile race. It almost seemed to me that he was giving up on the point race with Bloomer. Guess we will find out on Saturday!

Driver Attendance
Just finished up checking as many driver's websites as I could find. Not too many had dates posted, here are a few drivers who did have posts for their schedules as well as some based upon posts from stl. Who knows in the end who will be there, regardless it will be a good show...
I-55
-M. Faust
-Kevin Weaver
-Shannon Babb
-Don O'Neal
Korte, Dixon, English and many others don't have anything posted yet or they have not updated their schedules.
According to their websites, the following drivers will be at I-44 for the 2-day MARS show. This event has a 2nd chance qualifying format on Sat. night so it doesn't look like they'll be many guys if any come up after Friday night unless they just get mad or something...
-Phillips
-Frye
-Wallace
The Yankee Dirt Classic is also going on this weekend so you can probably cancel out any of the guys who may have strayed down from Northern MO, IL/Southern IA. There is also a 10K to win race out east so those guys won't be around either. That's okay though, we'll have the UMP boys doin' it up right for us!!!

Pit pass price
Hey Spektater,
I just called my hubby at home about the pit passes for Saturday, and he said he looks for them to be probably about $28-$30, since it is a $10,000 to win payout. It is usually 20 for members and 23 for non-members, so what is another $10 to mingle with some of the best late model drivers in the country? Should be a good show.

"Wolf on Saturday night
Trevor,
I just talked to my husband, who owns the 441, and I believe they are going to Montgomery County this Saturday night(don't quote me on that). They talked about where else to go, since a lot of big guns will be there, and they feel like trying to a different track, especially with the competition so fierce at I-55. Maybe time for a change in scenery????? Good luck to all the drivers that go to get a piece of that Pepsi cash!!

thats ****s but good luck anyway.....change their mind...haha
Yes, that is correct. The Yankee Dirt Classic is always the same weekend as the I55 Pepsi Nationals. Held at Farley Speedway it is a big event in the NE, MN, IA, WI area. So most of those drivers will stay up that way.
Basically I think we're looking at the UMP regulars plus MAYBE Moyer, Babb and a couple of others. I wouldn't look to see Schlieper or Birky tough.
If I55 could move this race back one weekend in the future I think the car count would increase dramatically.
Over the last three years the car count has been good -
2000 - 41
2001 - 34
2003 - 41
This is for the 24 starting spot in the feature. What is wrong with that car count with other shows in the county. And the drivers have been good - Billy Moyer, Don O'Neal, Bob Pierce, Kevin Weaver and Mike Mullvian have been there the last three years. Last year, there was Jay and Johnny Johnson, Terry English, Brian Burkhofer, Mark Burgtorf on hand. There are Iowa drivers in there.
Don't count out the outside drivers as the purse over the last three years has drawn some named drivers. Just wait until Saturday and see who comes in the pit gate. You, the fans, may want the best drivers for your entertainment dollar and you will get the action no matter who shows up.
