Gareau was out for the night and finished the night in 24th position. So at this juncture of the season Greg Furlong is your point leader. Ten points behind Furlong is three time feature winner this season Tim Gareau. This leads me to believe that Howie may actually return despite what he says now. He is still in the point battle, and remember it is still early in the week.
All drivers are the same, they want to race.
Hopefully Howie will change his mind later in the week, because he is deeply needed at the Speedway. This week's Performer of the Week I kind of hinted to earlier in the column, is the driver of many cars, Gary Albritain. It doesn t matter what car Gary is in from week to week he takes it to the front. I m just a youngster at 15 years of age, but have heard lots about Gary as a driver, and how he won the Intl. Classic back in 1975, but most importantly how he was able to get in any car, and keep it intact and at the same time take it to the front.
