Hmm, Sheldon beat 8 of those the other night, make that two nights in a row. You think you'll have 8 in the field, might be close, too bad you have another dozen bombers to go with them and a handful of also-rans, some things never change....

Rain seems to be the biggest competitor at this point. Saturday and Sunday don't look good.

Will any of the All Stars join in after Freemont see they have three days off before Mercer? Did anyone here where Austin Wheatly is he was scheduled to run Ohio but has not yet ?
With the big point fund for Pa. this year and Ohio next year lets hope they can work together so you could possibly run both.
See Jac Haudedenschild is coming in to run the Campbell #16.

Sheldon "raced" the Grove in the Red 3...he stunk up the place so bad in the Wintermeyer car he was out of the ride before the next two nights of racing that weekend...perhaps Buzzkill remembers how many local cars he destroyed in two separate wrecks he caused entering turn 3 before going on the hook and leaving town? I'd guess 3 or 4 - Krimes was one of them.

Sheldon ran the 3 car at Port that same year and had a couple races in the bag until engine problems sidelined him.
PS. Why do you guys have to run down racers like you do? I'd love to hear your reasons.

Whiteameyer can not be to uoset with Sheldon since they still sponsor the 93 when they come East.
Also Heckman Tree Farms sponsors Sheldon he drove the 8H before Doug Esh.
Fred has a good point fund at the Path for the three races and Kemenaugh leads after the first race
thought mabe he and Cole Duncan might come in along with Ryan Smith and Darrah.

Jealosy is the prime reason anyone runs somebody down! Simple as that!

I just think it's very disrespectful (and childish) to publically run anyone down that owns , works on , or drives any race car.

Did Ohio average 62? According to Jeremy's article, PA's average has been 31 since 1996. I think we'll do just fine.

Hmm, I distinctly remember some shows in the low 20's, not enough for a full field, places like Selingsgove especially, hey I've been wrong before.....

There was one car (DD) from PA out of the top 14 in PA Points at any races? I guess PA gets credit for Darrah and Ryan Smith since they didn't run as well this week, no problem with that. As bad as Darrah is on the hoseheads board, he does appear to be ahead of Kemenah, Wilson, Sheldon, Shaffer in the All-Star standings? Crazy. Ryan's still learning on the road, but it is kinda ironic: he's been racing in PA for 4 years and has never won a local unsanctioned race, but he has won an All-Star race in Ohio and a WoO race over Donny Schatz. All stuff that can be looked up of course if you care. PA Speedweeks never gets as many cars as Ohio anymore, but PA get's as many cars for an All-Star show as Ohio, not sure which comparison would be more apples to apples, don't really care, think both provide great racing. No blinders here, Ohio has a great racing scene and Dale Blaney is as fast or faster than anyone in the country except you know who...
