Neither Badger nor MARA is running that weekend, so you may pick up a couple north/central Illinois cars, if they want laps and start money.

It worked for me! Says I get a free look for 48 hours.

It sounds very promising, but it’s clearly not out of the woods. As an owner/driver/fan who lost his fairgrounds track in Oklahoma City, I...

Everybody is running the Hoosier SP3 right rear. The softer SP2 and even softer RD12 are out of production and were not legal this year. The SP3 probably has a stiffer sidewall construction than...

Not sure why I’m eating crow, but it was delicious. And if Kyle manages to lock in, then fans will get to witness the greatest night of racing, possibly of all time.

With no Devil's Bowl, I suppose they have to find a way to say in the DFW market. It's been a while since I've been to Kennedale. Glad they've been able to keep the developers at bay!
