Smith Feels First Win Could Be Soon
Thompson
International Speedway will mark the opening of its
70th anniversary year with the running of the
traditional Icebreaker on the weekend of April 10th
and 11th. The famed, high-banked oval will usher in
the 2010 racing season with the NASCAR Whelen
Modified Tour and Thompson’s own “Super 6” NASCAR
Whelen All-American series divisions. Just prior to
the actual running of the Icebreaker, the speedway
will be open for two full days of open practice. The
first of these days is scheduled for Saturday, March
27th with the second the following Saturday, April
3rd....
Corey
LaJoie drove like a veteran in his first career
NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour start. Using
lapped traffic to get by Tim Brown, the 18-year-old
third-generation driver then held off a furious
challenge from Brown over the closing laps to
capture the Atlanta 150 Friday. The race was the
first for the Tour held on the track's flat,
quarter-mile front stretch oval. The setup is
similar to Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem,
N.C., where Brown is an eight-time champion in the
track's NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Modified
division. But under the lights at Atlanta, it was
LaJoie who battled back from an early rookie mistake
that put him in the back of the field to earn the
victory....
Thirty five years ago in 1975,
the NASCAR Modifieds made their annual spring trek to Martinsville for a
250-lap event. Bugsy Stevens in the Koszela No.15 took the win over Ronnie
Bouchard, Jerry Cook and Mike Loescher. A horrific fire on the front stretch
marred the day when Brian Ross in the Bob Garbarino Mystic Missile was rear
ended by a bumper-less car driven by Melvin Chilton. Chiltons bare frame
rail tore into Ross' fuel cell and ignited the fuel.
Flames raged as high as the grandstand roof but
luckily Ross emerged unhurt. To add insult to
injury, when fire crews arrived on the scene, the
fixture that was supposed to dispense the purple-K
wouldn't work and the fire had to be extinguished
with water and hand held extinguishers....
We
all have wondered now and again if someone’s heart
was in their effort. Sometimes the passion just
isn’t there. The condition of our heart is more
important than we think. Do we have a heart
condition? Greetings in the name of our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ. We continue to hang out at Jacob’s well with the lady we met there.
Have you ever noticed how Jesus can get right to the heart of things? He
knows what we really are feeling, not just what we let everyone else see. He
knows what is in our heart. There are times when we can tell someone’s heart
isn’t in it. Most racers live with their emotions
out on their sleeve....
With
the recent announcement of a new title sponsor, Bob
Valenti AutoMall.com for the 2010 racing season,
Modified Racing Series officials have disclosed two
new companies will also be involved with the
Northeast’s premier racing series. Connecticut
Trailers Inc, and Basement Systems, have come on
board in support of the series contingency program
for the new campaign. Connecticut Trailers Inc. has
been in the business of selling trailers since 1997.
Located in Bolton, the company has grown to become
the largest supplier in the northeast shipping
trailers across the nation....
