Port Royal promoter Steve O'Neal walked around the pits today and gave every Late Model team that was here during last night's rainout a $100 bill. 👏 #respect
So last night ... @Highsidetickler nearly cuts off his finger. Goes to the hospital. Gets finger stitched. Misses qualifying & heats. Comes back to the track & races ... driving from the tail of the B up 2nd. Then starts last in the A & finishes 3rd. 😯🐐👏
Goals for all race tracks in 2018...
1) Starting on time. Every week.
2) No more than 4 classes. Ever.
3) Entire show finished by 11pm (unless weather dictates otherwise).
I mean...I don't feel like I'm asking too much here.
If you're driving home from one race track...and have to drive by another race track at the same time their features are scheduled to start...you gotta go for the double, right?? 🤔🤔
I can't even count the number of iconic Scott Bloomquist "moments" I've been on the mic for. Whether you cheered for him or against him, today is a sad day in the world of motorsports. #RIPZeropiped.video/TbbR_cBDJyI?feature…
June 6, 1954 ... Earl Baltes's dirt track in the cornfields of western Ohio held its first ever race. Tonight, we go 67 laps in honor of @EldoraSpeedway's birthday. #HappyBirthdayEldora
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: I'm happy to report that over the last 36 hours, I've been feeling much better. Today was my first day with zero wooziness, and the fatigue is minimal compared to what it's been over the last week-and-a-half.
Still no 'official' diagnosis, but Lyme Disease seems like the most likely culprit, especially given my body's positive reaction to the Doxycycline thus far.
Thank you so much to everyone who has sent texts, called, messaged, etc. Your prayers and well-wishes have been appreciated more than you know. Love you all. ❤️
K Larson, Pierce, Sheppard, Thornton, T Erb, Strickler, Richards, Marlar, Alberson, B Larson, R Conley, Boom... some of the early arrivals here at Atomic.
And that's a wrap on my 2021 racing season...
82 races at 51 tracks in 17 states. 20 of the tracks were new to me ... pushing my "career track" total to 299.
19 races in Iowa. 17 in Ohio.
I was supposed to be in Senoia, GA today, but Mother Nature had other plans. So I gambled & went to a groundblind I hadn't sat in all year. It paid off & I was able to bag this great looking 12 pt from 30 yds.
THANK YOU @TrueTimber for keeping me concealed! #DoubleJFarm
UPDATE: Woke up this morning feeling very tired with incredibly slow cognitive skills. Had my scheduled second doctors appt at 10:30am.
Dr. sent me straight to ER. Got a CT scan, blood work, EKG, etc … everything came back normal. They also tested me for Lyme Disease and we’ll get those results in the next 4-5 days. They’ve started me on my third different medication in the last three days. At home resting now.
Thank you to everyone who has texted, called, & reached out. I’m truly grateful for the wonderful friends I have. ❤️
This is @msrmafia and I's office for the next 3 days. If you can't be here, you can watch EVERY LAP LIVE on @FloRacing. We'll get started a little before 3:00pm CT.
If you're announcing a $10,000 to win race of any kind ... it's a good idea to do your homework and know who drives what and how to correctly pronounce their names.
Great update by NASCAR's Steve O'Donnell in the press room. In a world where we race to be first with news, let this be a reminder that patience is a necessity. #PrayersForRyanNewman

Ladies, I'm gonna go ahead & save you a lot of time here ... These Hallmark Christmas movies are all the same. Same plot, same scenario, same outcome.
Every. Single. One.
After spend the last 18+ months as an Advertising & Digital Marketing Coordinator with @DirtonDirt, today I 'officially' transition over to @FloRacing as a Project & Partner Success Manager.
Lots of great things happening & on the horizon for Flo, DoD, SpeedShift, etc...
Last night in Iowa…
135 cars at Independence
143 cars at Maquoketa
173 cars at Boone
That’s 450+ cars within a 3 hour radius of each other … (not to mention 111 cars at Shelby County, less than 2 hours from Boone).
I have no idea why 10 people would want to follow me, let alone 10,000...but thank you. I'm just a guy living out his dream...working in racing...being the eyes & ears for those who can't. #blessed#10kFollowers#thankyou
I cannot stress enough the importance of starting on time at race tracks. Outside of inclement weather, there's no excuse to start late. (Side Note...when posting starting times, "racing" is not hot laps).
The @WildWShootout starts this weekend and I could not be more excited. Larson, Davenport, Sheppard, Moyer, Pierce, Terbo, Marlar, Alberson, Weiss, Dillard, and more!
