Looking forward to a fun time in lovely Du Quoin Illinois this weekend. Sounds like we will have an excellent field of cars and some great race drivers racing what some folks consider sub par race cars. A true racer will have fun watching or racing almost any type of race. All that is required is that the competitors must be competitive. Watching racers strive to get that last bit of performance out of their vehicle or I guess now even their software program is the fun in racing. When you allow your perspective of racing to be very narrow you are going to miss out on some very good racing.

Did I mention that the "Magic Mini Mile" and PowrI used 1200cc powered midget Race cars to test the water to see if the race track would be compatible for full Midget racing. In other words the 1200cc Midgets were the first Midget sized cars to have ever raced indoors at Du Quoin.

Briscoe, Bell, and Ambrose will represent the Hoosier Speed Company this Saturday at the Center.

The Bell-Briscoe duo is slated to drive temporarily for the Bradley brothers for this event, however Ambrose will be a mainstay in the Hoosier Speed stables for 2015.

"I feel like it's an opportunity for us to get some real feed back on our cars"

Says Hoosier Speeds founder
Andy Bradley.

"We are extremely excited to have these drivers represent us and we will do what we can to give them what they need to win"

Still getting lots of questions about pit passes And ticket prices. Pit passes are $20 which is a pretty good deal. General admission tickets are $15


Just a five dollar difference gets you into the pits. So if you.want to come down early and see the cars and drivers this is a great deal.

I think your spellcheck took over there at the end, Jay; either that or I'm not up on the new Announcer lingo...
