Over at New River, Chad Little continues to have a stellar season with a second place finish to keep him atop the points. Look for local drivers David Botkin or Tommy Humphries to be among the entrants. The biggest problem was that the cars were pulling so many g's and at such a high rate of speed that several of the wheels broke on the racers. That is an easy fix, however. Local driver Booper Bare put on a great show by qualifying 11 th out of 189 cars and finished 5 th after starting 17 th through the heats.
Plans are in the works for a return engagement for next year.
This weekend, the Outlaw Sprints will rip around the converted facility as they have practiced a second and a half faster than the Cup cars at over 150 mph. A win in Mid-Ohio, a second at Limerock for the primary car and respectable finishes for their other cars has put this local team on top of the charts in the GTU division of the Grand American series. That's it for this week. I'll see you around the next bend.
