On to "The Pittsburgher"

Most of this weekend's racing action was washed out, including the FASTRAK Northeast Tour event at Mercer Raceway Park that was scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 13th.

That, combined with the previous weekend off allowed the guys to re-group, re-organize and get re-energized for the rest of the big end-of-season shows.

Up next, Butch will be piloting the Wexford Racing, Chuck Neely owned #27 Emod at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway for the UEMS portion of "The Pittsburgher". The team will head down Thursday (9/18) for practice on the big half-mile, as Butch has to work on Friday and will likely not get there in time for hot laps. Friday will see heat race action and Saturday will be the B-mains and Feature.

Our FASTRAK Crate Late Model will stay parked for the weekend - we decided not to spend the money on the tires that we would need to run at Pittsburgh. The next event will be the final FASTRAK Northeast Tour Event of the season at McKean County Speedway on Friday, September 26th. We will follow at up with a regular $750 to win FASTRAK event the very next night (9/27). It will be a busy race weekend as part of the McKean Co. "Fall Classic" as Butch will also compete in the emods on Saturday for a $2000 to win event.

FASTRAK has finally announced that Friendship Speedway in Elkin, North Carolina will host Night #2 of the FASTRAK Grand Nationals. We have our rooms booked - just need to come out of Night #1 at Mercer Raceway Park with a good finish and we will be on our way! More info on the Nationals will be forthcoming.

That's all for now - see you at the track!
