Before they zap my account I wanted to give a heads up about my neighbor Luke Nellis car 74n.  Luke started out in Karts, moved up to Micros run non-wing and winged limited Sprints.  He is nineteen years old and his parents are teachers.  His father makes log furniture to help support his racing efforts.  We aren't talking a silver spoon like the latest fifteen year old who's daddy has millions.  These are working class people running a 410 team from a two and a half car garage and half acre lot they can barely fit the hauler in.  Stop by and say hello, buy some merch, slip him a few bucks if you're able.  Luke's father Jeremy helped his son get started and turned the whole team over to him.  Luke lined up the sponsors, drives the hauler and does most of the work himself.

You have to like a young man with a dream and that kind of work ethic.

They recently lost both of their motors and the clutch and transmission in the hauler had to be rebuilt.  He's back trying to finish up the season with a loaner with some of Luke's parts bolted onto it.  That set them back a few weeks and there isn't much left of our season after Husets and a few IRA races.

Stan- I don't know what you're going through but I for one appreciate your posts. Stick around buddy!

Luke Nellis 410 stats

There has definitely been a learning curve moving up to 410.  They're in it for the long haul and knew 2024 would be difficult with some promising nights.
