I just like the idea of new guys showing up on the scene and the fact he's from out of State makes it even better, good for him!!  It has been some time since a driver came from out of the area to do so well, isn't it usually an ex-Outlaw driver that makes this happen in PA (Pittman, Hodnett etc).  By saying that I hope I don't jinx him, having spent lots of time around Knoxville I am familiar with drivers doing some travelling to race weekly, more power to him.....



I'm the same way, love seeing new competitive drivers weekly. Justin and his wife are great people and hopefully run in the area for years to come. Keep an eye on JJ Grasso (Delaware) as well - he's got Lincoln figured out.

Lafferty has won quite a few races in PA the last few years.

barger has been around for quite a while. he ran micros at greenwood, 360's with empire and ess and his dad has a good business and is a former modified driver. its a bit of a trip for them to come to central pa. and i am certain thats why you dont see him around all the time.

Ummm,. not sure where you've been all year but Justin has been a regular at Port all year except for the injury week. He has also run most Grove races this year I believe. So to say he hasn't been around much is just being completely misinformed.

 

And for the poster who said Lincoln was the best track around.........BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sorry, couldn't resist. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....ok I'm done. Seriously though, BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

You're gonna feel pretty stupid when you step down from your oh so confident throne and read that sentence I wrote about Lincoln in context in response to Mike's commment about the Grove.

I love the improvements that the new managemnent has made at Port the last couple years. They've made the facility and the racing much better, but the fact of the matter is that it's still an obsolete 1/2 mile fairground track that was designed for horse racing. Lincoln and Lernerville are by far the best tracks that run 410's on a weekly basis in PA as far as racing quality goes. You just don't see the side by side slicing and dicing, wheelstands off the corner, racing through traffic as much on the big tracks. I do like to see them wind it out a big half though. The speeds are impressive even when the racing is not.  JMO
