I just found out that Kevin Olsen will be running Mike Osite's red # 20 Munchkin. Mike had to go back to Brooklyn, New York. Mike Fedorcak's # 97 developed a hole in the oil cooler

[R.Drang]

Drangmeister Entry has a cracked engine block

[Tony Barhorst]

Sorry to hear about that. Mike Osite's # 20 Munchkin lost an engine, and Kevin Olson is done.

Can anyone explain the 12th car add in and what the rules were about this?
