What's the buzz?
Where to begin?
For all you Brett Rowe fans out there, he's parted company with Day Enterprises to focus on Herd Racing. The Marshall car will run under the number 75 when it gets back on the tracks, and owner Dana Tomes is hopeful there will be a couple of races in the Nationwide series this summer they can enter.
But it will be go or go home for Brett. He'll have no points.
But I told you that a couple of weeks ago. Some people must have overlooked it.
Ah, Davin Scites next up.
The schedule on JR Motorsports hasn't gone past early June and Davin's site doesn't seem to be updated. A e-mail inquiry to his folks a couple of weeks ago has been unanswered.
On to the really local scene.
The Any Car class at Ona Speedway has been renamed Street Stocks. Same thing, different name.
And the Late Model race last Saturday was full of fireworks. Actually it got down right ugly and a warning was issued to one of the drivers. OOOPS!
The #27 of Eric Maynard got into the back of another racer. Eric seemed to take exception to the incident and got a little snarky. He threw his car into reverse, pulling off bumpers on both cars and his hood. Then he proceeded to put the PRNDL back into drive and take off around the track into the pits only to reappear a few minutes later for the restart - minus pretty much the front end and hood. Looked like something out of Mad Max.
Yeah, he got a warning for that. I wonder where the speedway's equivalent of NASCAR's Big Red Truck is?
Youngsters are getting a nice start there at age 13 in the Junior U-Car class. They do a respectable job, too.
I've already lobbied Race Director Jerry Skeens to keep the Australian something or other race, I've forgotten what it was called. Nevertheless, it's a progressive passing race where if you get passed, you're out. It was the most fun of the night and the fans where screaming to invert the field when it got down to two and the second place car just couldn't catch up.
Well, more racing Saturday at Ona. The green flag drops around 7 p.m. Come on out and support your local track.
