P.S. I really like your new siggie!
I started the 1st heat 4th, so that means i drew #7 of 10 cars.
Heat - 4/5
Started 7th in the feature, i ran 3rd most of what seemed like a 500 lap race, but on the last lap i was able to get a good run and take the 2nd spot!
Feature - 2/10
My best friend won, and after the race i pulled behind him and was in the pic with him. he won 6 races this year, and the track championship for the 2nd year in a row. (and this is just his 2nd year in racing)

I HOPE YOU WIN! Please be safe and RACE ON!
This is my last chance of they year to pick up a win. I have won once this year, but have had a lot more heart ach then good times it seems. I was very happy with 2nd last week, heck i was just happy to be able to finish the feature. I really want to pick up a win at PIR because of the family history there, maybe lady luck will be on our side, and we wont have none of the r word.
Rain over the past few days forced the track to cancle.
DANG! Will they reschedule?
Nope, thats a wrap
Im starting to sound like Mark Martin, saying im done but keep adding races, i got a letter from Clarksville (TN) Speedway, and they are having a $200 to win tomm night. 200 to win is a nice pay check in our class, so im going for it. I have 2 4th place finishes at the 1/4 track, but one was a DNF. Hopefully i can get some good luck and pull off a soild finish to end the season out. would love a win but just want to finish.

UMP Adds Two Entry-Level Divisions To Sanctioning Lineup In 2007
By Kevin Kovac
EVANSVILLE , IN – Nov. 7, 2006 – Two entry-level racing classes will be added to the United Midwestern Promoters (UMP) fold in 2007, bringing to seven the number of divisions sanctioned by the DIRT MotorSports-owned organization.
Best known for sanctioning dirt Late Model and open-wheel Modified racing at nearly 100 tracks across the country, UMP is expanding its divisional lineup with economical Factory Stock and Four-Cylinder classes in hopes of providing aspiring drivers another path to begin an advance through the UMP ranks. “This is a way to recognize all the racers who are just starting out and make them part of something,” said UMP director Sam Driggers. “Now when they move up to other classes, they’ll already know what UMP is and what UMP can do for them.”
Both divisions will bring tracks’ existing entry-level classes under the UMP umbrella. The Factory Stock classification includes such divisional names as American Stocks, Hobby Stocks and Novices, while the Four-Cylinder class encompasses divisions such as Mini-Stocks, Pure Stocks, Hornets and Warriors.
The UMP Factory Stocks and Four-Cylinders will follow all local track rules with one exception: cars in both divisions must run street tires only.
Both classes will have UMP National points races in 2007. Twenty races will be used to determine the National point standings, meaning drivers will have an opportunity to begin replacing their worst finishes after reaching that mark.
UMP has established a $2,650 points fund for the National points battles, with $500 earmarked for the first-ever UMP national champion in each class. The top 20 drivers in the National standings will receive points-fund cash at the annual UMP Awards Banquet.
“We’re starting with a National points fund for the two divisions,” said Driggers. “If the drivers in the divisions get involved with UMP, we will add more points money in the years to come.”
Drivers must be UMP members to be eligible to share in the Factory Stock and Four-Cylinder points funds. A membership will cost $75 per driver with UMP insurance included.
Upon joining UMP, members will receive the organization’s regular newsletter as well as a membership kit that includes a membership card, decals and other items.
In 2006 UMP sanctioned five divisions – dirt Late Models, open-wheel Modifieds, Sportsman, Limited Modifieds and Street Stocks – and 87 racetracks. The organization will distribute over a half-million dollars in points fund cash during its annual awards banquet on Jan. 20 at the Springfield ( Ill. ) Hilton.
The 2007 technical rules for all UMP divisions except the Late Models have been released. Competitors can obtain a copy of the rules by visiting the UMP website at www.umpracing.com and printing them; calling the UMP office at 812-426-1200; or contacting their local UMP tracks. Sets of rules will also be available from UMP officials at selected off-season trade shows.
The UMP Late Model division’s 2007 rules are currently being completed and are expected to be released shortly.

Nick, you are in my prayers and thoughts.
Nick, I don't think you communicated the after effects of that wreck until now NO MORE BEER!!!
NO MORE BEER!!!
From the looks are things Ky. Lake Motor Speedway (KLMS) will not be doing a weekly race in 2007, maybe im wrong, but i looked at the shedule and its not looking to good so far. If that is the case i will for sure be running at Clarksville Speedway in TN on sat. nights in 2007. I am looking for a track to run on fir night. You can just count one race a week, but it will be your best finish. so if you can race 2-3 times a week the better you are, unless you win the 1st night. So Hopefully i can find me a track in KY to race at on fir nights and no olny go for the National Tital but 2 state titals. We just got to see how the cards play out over the next few months.
Kat.
All i really know is i had a major concussion, As of right now i am back to 100% besides my vision. It is fine for the most part, just trying to read the board at school is the hardest part. They said it would take me 6 months for my brain to get back to 100%, i belive that is the time frame for the type of concussion that i took.
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers everyone!
I wont be on much the next few days, so if i dont get to say it then Happy Thanksgiving everyone, enjoy time spent with familey, friends, inlaws, outlaws, pets, just everyone! ohh yeah, dont eat to much!
Peace Out!

How far is Clarksburg from you? When will the season start? Please keep us updated!
Maybe you can get in touch with Dale Jr about racing with a concusstio, or Steve Park (altho Steve's injury was a lot more severe).
Here's to you continued recovery!

which driver was it that went like 6 races with a concussion without telling NASCAR just so he wouldn't get sat out? Was that Jr?
Clarksville is like an hour and 1/2 one way.
Racing will start the 1st or 2nd week of March, but point racing will no start tell the last weekend in march.
Hopefully, i wont have any more concussions any time soon!
