HELLO RACE FANS AND FRIENDS

WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE 4TH OF JULY. CRISPIN AND HIS FAMILY AND CREW WENT TO I 44 SPEEDWAY LEBANON MISSOURI JULY 2 2011 FOR THE FIRECRACKER 50. IT WAS PACKED ON THE “WILD SIDE” AND SPECTATOR SIDE FOR THE EXCITEMENT YET TO COME BEFORE THE FEATURE FOR THE LATE MODELS THEY LINED THE CARS UP ON THE START FINISH LINE WITH THE AMERICAN FLAG BEING DISPLAYED BY ALL 19 CARS.

AFTER THIS THEY PARADED THE LATE MODELS AROUND THE TRACK FOUR WIDE WHILE THE SPECTATORS FLASHED THEIR LIGHTS TO GREET THEM. OUR CREW FOUGHT THE SET UP ALL NIGHT HOPING TO GET IT RIGHT FOR THE 50 LAP FEATURE. WARM UP LAPS WENT WELL CRISPIN TOOK THE FORD FUSION IN FOR THE CHANGES FOR OUR HEAT RACE IN WHICH WE ARE IN THE SECOND ONE. THERE ARE THREE HEAT CLASSES BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF CARS. CRISPIN WAS IN THE SECOND HEAT FINISHING THIRD SO HE WILL START 6TH FOR THE FEATURE.

THERE WERE 11 SPINS AND CAUTIONS IN THE FEATURE. EVERY TIME CRISPIN GOT INTO HIS RYTHUM THERE WAS ANOTHER CAUTION. A CAR IN FRONT OF CRISPIN WAS DROPPING OIL ON THE TRACK AND CRISPIN’S CAR MAKING IT VERY SLICK AND HARD TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. OIL WAS GETTING INTO THE RADIATOR MAKING THE ENGINE GET HOT. ALL IN ALL THE RACE WAS A GOOD ONE VERY EXCITING FOR THE FANS. CRISPIN FINISHED 5TH WHICH WAS NOT EASY.

OUR CREW WANTS TO THANK ALL THE FANS FOR COMING AND HOPE THE LATE MODELS PUT ON A GOOD SHOW FOR YOU SO YOU WILL COME BACK ONCE AGAIN. THANK YOU TO THE CREW THEY WORKED VERY HARD TRYING TO GET A HANDLE ON THE CAR. IT IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT EVERY SATURDAY BUT THEY KEEP WORKING TRYING THEIR BEST TO GET THE FORD FUSION TO GET AROUND THE TRACK.

AGAIN THANK YOU FOR CRISPIN’S SPONSORS: AUTO BODY SUPPLY, TYNIS CONSTRUCTION, ALLEN SIGN STUDIO, SCOTT’S RENTAL, AL’S GAS, CARL, TOMMY AND CRISPIN’S PARENTS AND SISTER.

SEE EVERYONE NEXT SATURDAY.
