And he's also retired........

Might sound sad but Im hoping to make it Friday for my First, Last and Only Sprint Car race of the year!

421 North to 22 is a good route but you will not save 30 minutes unless there is some really bad traffic mess on 31. I live just west of town on route 22 and travel to Indy frequently, about the same time either way. Might be a bit quicker if you know the back route to the speedway. However, it is 2 lane road all the way to Kokomo and if there is traffic on a Friday evening it can be hard to pass. So, if you want to avoid the construction, take 421 North but don't expect to save a huge amount of time.

I should say by whatever route you get here, just show up. I will be there, cant miss the last show of the year (at least for me). Will be cold but great racing will warm the body and be great for the mind. My college age son will be with me, have brought the boy up right and he is a passionate sprint fan who has introduced some of his buddies to the sport.

I'm looking forward to the race, but it sucks that I've seen at least three great racers without a ride for it. I've heard rumors that Jerry Coons Jr, Scotty Wier, and Shane Cottle are all rideless. Those guys always put on a heck of a show at Kokomo.

I'll be there nonetheless, but I hope we get a good turn out!

Danny 421/ Michigan road is your best bet. Take 421 from 465 north towards Burlington, 421 turns into 29 in Burlington, 29 crosses 22 (Sycamore in Kokomo) take 22 East out of Burlington into Kokomo. 22 turns into Sycamore street, take Syc. east to Phillips 4th light (Malfafa 1st light, Dixon 2nd. Berkley 3rd one) You will go past all the fast food joints and one of our sponsors (Woodys Gas station Dixon / 22) Turn left on Phillips (North) go all the way to Morgan.( 2 lights) you will go past another Woodys Phillips and North, then Northwest park at Morgan turn right (east) and go to the light turn left (North at the hot dog stand) then left in to the Speedway. You will save time and 421 is trailer friendly.

For everybody reading this if you back track to Sycamore and Berkley Saint Joe Hospital is on the corner, I hope you never need them but that is where it is from the race track.

Danny after you pass the light at Malfalfa and 22 there is a Marithon station on your right, (Santa Fe) if you turn right (South) and go down two streets (Carter then Tumbleweed) and turn left (East) on Tumbleweed we are on the curve. 410 Tumbleweed. The racers we have told about the short cut will not go back to 31. Good luck and have fun, if you need anything you have our number.

If you want to avoid going into town, turn North off of Highway 22 onto 400 West (you will see a sign for Northwestern High School). 2.5 miles North turn right on 350 North to Davis Rd. Turn South on Davis to the track. A bit further but no stop lights.
