Anybody know that the Late Model series is that is coming later in the season?
It is the Indiana Crate Series, which is run by (and won last year by) Mike Bechelli. They are much like the focus series, lucky to get more than 5 to 10 cars. That was another race I couldn't understand having on the schedule. It pays $1000 to win and I'm thinking $150 to start. Why wouldn't they use the same purse and try running super late models instead of crates? There are no crate cars in this area and the guys south of I-70 won't come up here. They would get more supers with the exact same purse than they will crates.

Eric, good luck on Friday and Saturday at Gas City and Montpelier.
