It's interesting that the purse, At least the Winners share is what the Knoxville Nationals was when Gaines won it.

Anyhow, come race with us. See ya Saturday!

Looking forward to it. The last two regular shows I attended and both times they were great races. Track was really good and wide.

I see that the BOSS race has been moved from Waynesfield Saturday, might get a few extra cars from that.

Our racing family will be in the house at the burg. Great racing event. Looking forward to the weekend. Saturday night at the burg and going to have a meet and greet Sunday for the mailman 60th birthday party. And headed out for Kokomo on Wednesday morning for some more great Kodak moments and life time memories. After Knoxville last weekend it just keeps coming. LOL. Have fun and enjoy all the great things that we all love. God bless America. Thanks.

Allstars and FAST combined at Waynesfield have 22 cars for $5000.

You laugh because I'm different. I laugh because you're all the same. Copied from the back of the #16 supermodified.
