You don't see the door caved in like that on a stock car very often. It's easy to tell that Sean Corr's car hit her car a ton. I'm glad that they are both OK after that crash.

Wow, she really did get hit hard.

Someone commented on my photo on Facebook and mentioned that Sean Corr had a cracked rib and a bruised foot while Milka Duno had a cracked(or broken) rib and a cracked tooth. Can't verify that...but I do wonder if Milka would've been badly injured if she'd wasn't as small as she is.

Kessinger and I were thinking the same thing when we saw the driver's side door of the car when they towed it back around in front of us. If that had been a larger person, the door would have been crushed in on him or her I bet.

I saw the early entries that have been filed for the upcoming race in Elko, MN. Former series rookie of the year Joey Miller is entered in the #20 Venturnini Motorsports car. Steve Arpin Jr. is in the #66 car for Venturini Motorsports.

Good to see them get another opportunity.

I'll be there for the Toledo race today. Hopefully I can get some good picks. Wasn't that hard to get a good seat last year.

TBK reunion? Hell, I'd love to attend an ARCA race one day.

Dan Belcher and I are in the infield today.

The ARCA cars are testing at Michigan today. Brennan Newberry driving car #92 for an unknown team has run a 37.083 second lap at 194.159 MPH. We're probably going to see the cup cars in the low 36 second range in qualifying next month.

It was an interesting weekend. Dan Belcher and I watched Ray Dunlap "sing" while he was checking his sound and microphone and other equipment. I nearly got run over by a damn fool in a Ford Ranger who was pushing a porta-potty with it(Dan got video). The pickup was backing up to line itself up with the gate, with the driver not thinking about the idea of anyone behind him. He actually knocked the guy over who was next to me, which happened to be ARCA Champ Moose Myers. Dan and I were there to help him up, the driver never stopped and got out to apologize, or anything. Other than that, I enjoyed being up there.

ARCA is making their first trip to Elko, MN tomorrow. There is a surprise that's not on the entry list. Andy Belmont's #1 driven by Mikey Kile is not on the entry list. They are entered for the next two events. I wonder why they aren't running Elko.

They're taking a "break" from ARCA. All the equipment is for sale. Their sponsor ModSpace is sponsoring one of the Front Row cars in Cup now I think.

Brennan Poole took his second career ARCA win last night in Elko,MN. He started 5th and led 148 out of the 200 laps. Matt Lofton finished 2nd.

Bobby Hamilton Jr. is shown on the entry list for Pocono, driving for Carter 2 Motorsports.
Also of note, ARCA "veteran" A.J. Henriksen is scheduled to drive the 66 for Venturini this week.

Wasn't there something a while back saying that Mayfield was racing for some team at Pocono in ARCA?

It was Roger Carter who was interested in running him, I guess it fell through as thats who Bobby Hamilton Jr is running for.

Alex Bowman won yesterday's ARCA race at Winchester. It was a fairly quiet race as far as incidents go, only four cautions, each I think for someone cutting a tire and hitting the wall. Bowman and Brennan Poole put on a hell of a battle for the lead during most of the race, I lost count how many times the #22 was nearly sideways off the second corner trying to pass Poole for the lead. The #25 ended up slamming the turn four wall on the last lap but still finished second. I'll put a few photos up for now, didn't take too many Sunday. I'll post some stuff from Saturday when I get it uploaded.
