http://jw4.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=301

There's the link to the updated Wago Fantasy League standings after race #3, New Egypt Speedway's Friend's of Mike race. Sorry about the slow update, it won't happen again.

Penn Can has been postponed, a rain date will be announced in the future. Tonight (Wednesday), Fonda Speedway has a complete show and the make up rain date from earlier in the year, both races are Thunder Series events.

Tom Mayberry drove the Roger Updegrove 00 big block modified at Grandview last week. Despite the surprise entry, look for Ray Swinehart to still run some end of the year shows with the team.

Travis Braun has indicated that he will run the full 358 Tour this season, Braun is having a great season already picking up 2 wins at Merrittville Speedway. Braun will run the 358 race at Syracuse.

Jeremy Wilder is rebuilding the big block he blew earlier in the year at Fonda Speedway while leading. He will either run Syracuse with the big block, or run the World Finals with his big block, the decision will be made at a later time. He will be at Syracuse for sure with the 358.

Jimmy Horton, David Hébert, and Rich Scagliotta have announced that they will run big blocks and small blocks at Syracuse this year.

Tim Currier, Justin Haers, and Peter Britten have announced they will run Syracuse with their big blocks. Currier and Britten will be eligible to run the Futures race.

Bob Lineman Racing will not field a car at Syracuse this year, which means Richie Tobias is currently looking for a ride.

Plans are being finalized for Ted Christopher to make his first ever Super DIRT Week start in the Bartemy Racing #2 big block modified. This is the same car he won the New Jersey Motorsports Park race in 2010. The Bartemy team will be at Syracuse with two 358 modifieds, for Adam and Aaron Bartemy.

Alan Johnson looks to be going to Syracuse as a teammate to Bobby Varin for the Kenny Saya-owned team. Johnson has driven for the team in select events this year. The team Johnson drove for last season, as previously noted, will be driven by Brian Swarthout this year as he attempts to qualify for the '200.' He owns the car Johnson drove last year.
