HELLO RACE FANS, FAMILY AND FRIENDS

HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GOOD TIME AT I 44 SPEEDWAY LAST SATURDAY. ONCE AGAIN LAST SATURDAY NIGHT WAS EXCITING. LATE MODELS AS ALWAYS PUT A GOOD SHOW ON WITH 22 CARS IN THE FIELD INCLUDING CHRISSY AND MIKE WALLACE. CRISPIN HAS 7 CARS IN HIS HEAT RACE BEING THE FIRST GROUP OUT WITH TWO OTHERS TO FOLLOW. IN THE WARM UPS THE FORD FUSION LATE MODEL DID NOT SEEM TO HAVE THE HORSE POWER NEEDED BUT THE CREW DID THE BEST THEY COULD TO DIAL IT IN. CRISPIN SPUN IN THE SECOND WARM UP THE FORD FUSION IS VERY LOOSE. CREW WENT TO WORK TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR THE HEAT RACE BUT THE FORD FUSION IS NOT RESPONDING TO THE CHANGES. CRISPIN FINISHED 5TH IN HIS HEAT IN WHICH CRISPIN SHOULD HAVE BEEN UP FRONT. CRISPIN TOOK THE FORD FUSION BACK TO THE CREW TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO TO MAKE IT FASTER.

EARLY ON IN THE FEATURE MIKE WALLCE HAD CONTACT WITH ANOTHER CAR PUTTING HIM OUT. ON THE RESTART THERE WAS A LOT OF ACTION ONCE AGAIN EVERYONE FIGHTING FOR POSITION. BUMPER TO BUMPER RACING ALL THE WHILE UNTIL TWO LAPS TO GO CHRISSY WALLACE MADE CONTACT WITH THE LEADER WHICH PUT THEM IN THE BACK OF THE FIELD. CRISPIN STAYED OUT OF TROUBLE FINISHING 6TH BUT WHEN HE CAME IN HE TOLD THE CREW THE FORD FUSION HAD LOST POWER. CRISPIN HAD ALL HE COULD DO TO HOLD ON TO 6TH PLACE. WHEN THE CREW PUT THE CAR IN THE RACE SHOP THEY FOULD OUT THE FORD FUSION HAD MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WHICH THEY WILL TRY TO GET FIXED FOR NEXT SATURDAY. THE MOTOR WAS RUNNING ON SEVEN CYCLINDERS IN STEAD OF EIGHT. SADLY BUT GOOD FOR CRISPIN HE LEFT FOR THE CAROLINAS THIS MORNING TO GO TO NASCAR TECHNICAL INSTITUTE.GRANDPA AND I HAVE BEEN RACING WITH CRISPIN SINCE HE WAS FOUR YEARS OLD AND HAVE TRAVELED AROUND THE UNITED STATES WITH HIM. CRISPIN STARTED IN GO KARTS AND AT 11 YEARS OLD WENT TO ROAD RACING CARS. IN 2010 CRISPIN STARTED MID SEASON RACING LATE MODELS AT I 44 SPEEDWAY LEBANON MISSOURI UNTIL NOW. LATE MODELS ARE QUITE A CHALLENGE BUT WE ARE FINALLY GETTING A HANDLE ON IT.

MY SON WANTS TO PILOT THE FORD FUSION NEXT SATURDAY. GEORGE HAS NEVER RACED A LATE MODEL EITHER BUT RACED KARTS IN THE PAST.

ONCE AGAIN CRISPIN WANTS TO THANK HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY FOR COMING TO THE TRACK SATURDAY NIGHT.

THANK YOU TO THE SPONSORS: AUTO BODY SUPPLY, TYNIS CONSTRUCTION, ALLEN SIGN STUDIOS, SCOTT’S RENTAL, AL’S GAS, CARL AND TOMMY FOR THEIR HELP.

SEE EVERYONE NEXT SATURDAY
