Wade Hendrickson, according to Lenny Sammons, will be driving the Michael Brothers Racing #51m big block modified in special shows for the rest of the year.
Also, one of the nicest guys in racing, and a great Club Wago supporter, Troy Wink, has announced that he's getting out of racing. Troy is one of the nicest guys in racing, as is his crew, and they'll be missed big time. Troy was close to getting that first win, and had big plans to travel at the end of the year. We'll miss you Troy, hopefully we'll still see you at the races my friend!
After a big week of racing last week, there aren't many specials this weekend. Grandview Speedway will have double features for the small block modifieds on Saturday after last week's race got rained out. Also, Mohawk International Raceway will have the Memorial Cup Race which is the first race of the 2009 Mohawk Raceway's American Revolution Series for the small block modifieds.

Interesting Find...
A friend of mine recently pointed out an interesting find on one of Club Wago's own drivers, Ryan Phelps' website. On his schedule, for October 25th (which is the same date as the Eastern States 200) he has listed a Super Dirt Series race for Albany-Saratoga Speedway which he has posted as being 100 laps and $12,000 to win. DIRT has yet to make an announcement of a race running against Eastern States Weekend, but they still have TBA listed for October 24th on the 358 Dirt Series schedule, and TBA listed for October 25th on the Super Dirt Series schedule. Stay tuned!

If you notice, at the top right, the link to the Fantasy League page now says "Click Here for Fantasy League Picks."
