I just want to know if the rumors i have been hearing are true about the motor in the foxco car. What i heard is that the block of the motor was broken when Stanbrough fliped last friday.

He was in the Baldwin #5 Sat. & Sun. last weekend, so one may speculate all they want.

What I was told isn't as sinister as it sounds, but I did hear it broke at the motor plate.
I have NO IDEA that this is a fact, it was just what I was told.

He did take a couple of nasty flips and hit pretty darn hard at least once?

Blocks can be fixed or replaced, I'm just glad the driver was OK !

If it would have happened in the Southern Hemisphere it would have been unharmed, Ty.:O:
