Mort,
My response to you is this. Keep in mind this post is not meant to be arguementative.
I know what you are getting at...Upon further review...the press releases should say National drivers...I am trying to get across how fine and diverse the drivers are who compete with us...I do not mean just drivers like Kevin Olson, Ken Schrader, and Tony Stewart....but I am equally proud to have the 2008 HOSS Champion...Geoff Kaiser...the 2008 KISS Champion John Stanbrough...The 2008 Midwest Supermodified Champion Timmy J...Former ARDC and IMSA champion Lou Cicconi....Former USAC Champions Tony Elliott,,,,and Dave Darland.... 2008 Indiana and Midwest Ford Focus champion Kyle Hamilton...Mel Kenyon....Canadian driver Ryan Litt.......The list goes on... Matt Westfall, 1999 NAMARS (Jack Calabrase) Champion. We have had UMARA champions..2008 Wolverine Champion Doug Dietsch... and more.
So...I made a mistake by saying...National Midget Cars- It should say National Stars....
That being said...we have the most DIVERSE field of cars that you see anywhere...
If cars could talk...ours have NATIONAL stories to tell during their history...
The car Matt Westfall drives is a Rich Vogler built car....I feel it is/was a National Car...
My definition of National...is an expression of pride in our field. Many won't agree...but it is meant as a positive...and in no way a negative.
Best Wishes During The Holidays,
Tony Barhorst
