"Where woould youo rather be than right here
right now"

Just to clear up a factual point or two...

You forgot tonight's event at Creek County Speedway in Sapulpa, OK, which gets under way at 7:00 p.m.

Jason Johnson is from Eunice rather than Euliss.

Johnson is 2 points ahead of Wayne Johnson in Speedweek points rather than Gary Wright.

The Toyota Tundra Speedweek champion pockets $1,200 of the $5,000 Speedweek point fund, with $1,100 for second in points, $1,000 for third, $900 for fourth and $800 for fifth. The $50,000 championship is the season-long championship which won't be determined until I-30 Speedway's Short Track Nationals in October.

While State Fair Speedway is slated to start at 7:30 p.m. on Friday night, Devil's Bowl (Thursday) and Lawton (Saturday) both go green at 8:00 p.m.

ASCS motors and SFS super sprint motors are different.

Don't look for Michelle to be competing unless car owner Don Strawn shockingly allows the car to compete. If so it would only be the second or third time he has brought the car out for an ASCS event.

I don't think Chris Burns has an ASCS motor, if he don't I don't see him competing but could be wrong.

Maybe Bobby Springer or Brandon Jennings can confirm or deny Lee Jennings competing. Lee didn't compete in the last ASCS sooner region race held so doubt if he will against the ASCoT.

Don't think Strike Hill has an ASCS motor as he didn't compete in the last ASCS sooner region race at SFS either.

Joe Wood, Jr., am told, will only compete at SFS during speedweeks as the motor needs freshened after twenty events. There are still more Sooner region races left AND they are going to the Brodix Tournament of Champions at Knoxville later this month so that will make about 28 shows without refreshing. They are concentrating soley on the Sooner region championshp.

Just a little more "tidbits" of information.

And as always, while you may find the compete results here on tidbits Friday night from SFS, you can read the official stories and official news from the SFS event and all other things ASCS by their staff writer/PR man Lonnie Wheatley on their website.

I'm thinking about 95% no on Lee.

with pickin up the win at the last ascs event at lawton - i'd be suprised if he didnt go there for the speedweek finale. same as that i am suprised he is going up all the way to Iowa for just the last night of the 4 consecutive nights of 360's up there. I woulda thought if they went they would run the 360 nationals too.

but in all that i'm forgetting. if their motor is already near the point of needing to be refreshed - well - yeah that'll do it. that means being extremely judicious in where and when you run the motor.
