Weekend Tidbits

With the rescheduling of Eastern States to this weekend, and the Delaware State Championships coming up this weekend, there are some tidbits. As posted earlier, the PPB Racing Team has parked their cars, which means that Billy Pauch Jr will be running some other cars at Delaware Internsional Speedway this weekend. He'll be in the MAD Motorsports #11D small block, and the Rick Clay Racing #88c big block.

Jimmy Horton, who was scheduled to start the Eastern States 200 outside of the top 30 driving the Jerry Wildrick owned #27 big block modified, will scatch from the fiel and will run the Delaware State Championships for car owner Dick Biever in both big and small block races. No word if anyone will take over the #27.

Tim Fuller, according to Dirt Track Digest, is going to try to fly to Orange County Fair Speedway to run the Eastern States 200. Fuller is the pole sitter for the race, but has the World Finals at the Dirt Track at Lowes this weekend.

Danny Johnson will return to the seat of the Randy Sherlock Racing #10 big block modified, the team blew an engine in qualifying and will have to come from deep in the consi. Also, Bruce Kline will return to run the consi in David Van Horn's back up #71.

Despite some rumors, Pat Ward will run the Eastern States 200. In the Gypsum Racing car, rumors reported that he would miss the event because of the Utica Rome banquet, but he'll be able to attend the banquet after the race. Also, look for Larry Wight to tack onto the back of the consi.

The Vinnie Salerno team will also be back at Eastern States, with their first big block modified since the theft of their hauler, and lots of their equipment earlier this year. Storms qualified for the 200 with a 358, but will run the big block on Saturday.

I think the UR banquet is this weekend not the RoC. Crummy reporting as usual Weaknecht.
