The race we just had was originally scheduled to take place at M40 then the promoter switched it to South Bend. Then on Thursday night I got the call that the race was canceled. I went to work fast and reached out to the Tony Eldridge at South Bend Speedway and less than 15 minutes later we was able to revive our race. Due to all of the changes that was out of our control we lost a few drivers but we still put on a great show and I would like to thank Tony and the entire staff at South Bend Speedway for picking up the entire show. They could have easily said oh well it is out of our hands since we had leased the track out and this was not our show. Instead they took the chance of losing lots of money to give all of the teams and drivers the race they had prepared for and put so much time and effort into.

It is my guess they came up very short since the fan turn out was very small.




Raced at Kalamazoo Speedway, Grundy County, Rockford and South Bend.
