WBR/ Team 6R is on the way to PIR to conclude the 2009 Silver Crown season. The Fatheadz Sunglasses, Lucas Oil, Jet Star Toyota #07 driven by Jake Wilson put in a solid run at Phoenix last year with a 5th in qualifying and 5th place feature run in his first trip to PIR and his first time utilizing Toyota power. Team manager Jack French said "5th was a good run last year for a rookie driver, but after seeing what he could do at Iowa this year, I think we can win the Copper World." Wilson set fast time and led 88 laps at Iowa Speedway before a fuel pick up problem spoiled his first bid for Silver Crown victory. Jacob's crew chief and younger brother has been working hard to prepare the car and team for the trip. He added " I am going to make sure what happened at Iowa will not happen to us again".


Travel news for our westbound friends:
No delays from Crawfordsville to Missouri via I-70 west. I-44 has short sections of construction in Missouri restricting to one lane at times for less than a mile or two. The largest construction was the mile marker 184 to 176 on I-44 southbound. We went downtown in Tulsa and there was some construction and backups, the bypass around Tulsa would be a better route. I-44 in Oklahoma City has major construction just before you get to I-40. The traffic moved fairly well but the road surface is pretty rough. I-40 in Oklahoma has construction and down to one lane from approximately 40 mile marker south for 27 miles. One lane closed off and on, we moved right through with just light traffic- mostly semi trucks. We are stopping at the Big Texan in Amarillo for lunch today and I’ll update you further on the trip after that.
Drive safely.
