An explosion of sprint car racing this weekend! KABOOM!

My goodness, the options you fine people have for taking in some high quality sprint car racing this weekend, it is astounding.

Let’s get things kicked off tonight. Ladies, you got a bra to throw at a mini sprint driver? Head on over to Ocala Speedway for the return of our Editor at Speed, as the one, the only, “The Hot Foot” Brian Penrose returns to mini sprint action! And he’s had a small army of people helping him out lately.

The crew from Wendy Mathis Racing scaled up his car and gave it the once over last night, Steve Heisler did some work on Brian’s motor to solve the issues he’s been having, Don Heckman was seen bending Brian’s ear about shocks, we hear Paulie Millum may have been consulted, and our own FSCF.com Factory Driver Flyin’ Ryan Partin has been pitching in with setup advice.

No pressure though Brian.

Ladies of the greater Ocala watershed area, we once again ask that you please refrain from throwing your bras at Brian during hotlaps. Please form an orderly line at the Team Penrose hauler and he will sign your undergarments at that time.

Then comes Saturday night. Wings, no wings, pavement, dirt, big, small…you’ve got it all.

Itching for some dirt in your beer? Truck on up to Lake City, friends. Our own Flyin’ Ryan Partin has got his motor fixed up, lovingly tuned for more ponies, mounted and ready to go and maintain his Top Gun points lead. And if that alone were not reason enough to go (because maybe you woke up and fell on your head this morning or something) check out this list of drivers scheduled to show:

Mike Schroeder. Troy Knowles. Tony Agin. Rich Alexander. Matt Kurtz. Mark Ruel Jr. Gene Lasker. Dan Jones. Bruce Durden. Ashlynn Durden. Rocky Sullivan. And the return to dirt of Amanda Ferguson!

KABOOM!

Down the road at Citrus County, you are going to see an explosion of wingless sprinters on the pavement. This is shaping up to be a major barn burner as well. You want drivers? The CFWS is looking to have about 20 of them.

Travelin’ Troy DeCaire. His sister Traci. Dakota Stephens. Steve Heisler. Dennis Misuraca. Channing Conley. Mike Jenkins Jr. Dude Teate. (!) Lil Jimmy Alvis. Big  Jimmy Alvis. Mark Gimmler. Stan Butler. Tommy Nichols. Sonny O’Sullivan. Steven Bradley. Blaze Martin. Joey “The Ace” Aguilar.  Could be more, but these are the names we’re hearing.

KABOOM!

Down at CCMP the TQs are back in action. Though I’m not sure if your Bobby Bucks are still valid since Bobby Diehl is stepping down and Gary LaPlant is taking over. Gary Bucks doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as well…

So where will the FSCF.com staff be? Who knows? We appear to be a house divided at the moment. 66% of our staff will be at Ocala tonight. On Saturday, 100% of us may be at Citrus County, or there might be 33% of us at Lake City and 66% at Citrus County, or there could be 66% of us at Lake City and 33% of us at Citrus County.

We’re just thankful to have such tough decisions to make! This is going to be an awesome weekend of sprint car racing people! Round up your posse and mobilize on Saturday!

Don’t let the infighting of our staff distract you. It won’t turn into this, I assure you. Well, hopefully not. If Josh looks at me wrong, it might. Doubtful. I’m just saying Josh, learn from Ole Anderson’s mistakes. Don’t let history repeat itself.
