1. It's getting old hearing the same song over and over again, but the weather won out at most tracks for yet another weekend. Locally, Fremont was able to open the gates Saturday night with tim Shaffer winning the 410 A-Main. Regionally, places like Hilltop, Florence, Lawrenceburg, and Twin Cities got their shows in. But, in all, the entire weekend was pretty much wiped out. The good news is, the weather forecast for this weekend looks much more favorable ... just in time for the Sunoco ALMS race at Attica Friday night.
2. Speaking of Twin Cities, I've gotta make it down there sometime this year. They're getting 20 cars a week in each of their classes, and Jeremy Hines is on a roll in the Late Model division, winning four straight. They have a UMP SummerNationals race on Thursday, July 18 if you're looking for a date to circle on your calendar.
3. Kudos go out to Jeff Babcock on his UMP Modified victory Saturday night at Lawrenceburg Speedway. The win came in crowd-pleasing fashion as Babcock wowed the fans with a last lap pass of his Best Performance Motorsports teammate Matt Westfall. The win was Babcock's second of the year (Florence, April 6).
4. A sentimental kudos goes out to Davey Johnson on his ULMS win Saturday night at Sharon. When I was a kid, "The Juice" was always one of my favorite drivers. As a journalist and announcer, I never play favorites. Ever. But it sure was nice to see Davey J. back in victory lane at a sanctioned event this weekend.
5. Last but not least, a work conference/presentation in Portland, Oregon will most likely allow me to visit a few new states and race tracks at the end of May. More info to come in the coming weeks on this epic trip....
