The Upset Kid
(Jones,Mi) The M-40 Speedway opened it 2008 regular season on Friday night with some great racing action in all of the classes. The upsets have already started for the 2008 racing season as Eric McGlothlen shocked the crowd by winning the Late Model Jones race number one. The pits were packed with the stars and cars of drivers from all over the tri-state area.
The Pure Stockers kicked of the evening of action that saw Robbie Ferrier grab quick time over Kalamazoo Speedway hot shoe Greg Haynes with a lap of 15.519 an average speed of 92.982 MPH. The Pure Stocks Jones qualifying race saw Travis Shoemaker come from the back after an early spin to pick up the win and transfer to the A feature followed by the Tank of Bob Teadt, Jr., Jerry Holmes, and Dustin Hicks in the final transfer spot. The big 50 lap feature saw Jeff Wanamaker lead most of the feature before South Bend driver Cindy Stremme took over the lead late in the race and never look back by picking up her first victory of the season over Robbie Ferrier, Greg Haynes, Tim Thurston, Matt Bainbridge, Jeff Wanamaker, Scott Rozner, Bob Teadt, Jr., Travis Rozner, and Burney Arnett rounding out the top 10.
The Pro Stocks saw Jeff Ganus set quick time with a blistering lap of 13.463 at 100.275 MPH. The Pro Stocks ran two heat races to start their racing action for the evening that saw Alex Pratt and Bill Hartman pick up the wins. The 50 Lap Pro Stock Jones feature saw some great action that saw some side by side racing of Jeff Ganus and Niles, Mi driver John Long battle side by side for many laps that saw Jeff Ganus win the battle on this night picking up the win and $1000 in his pocket. Ganus was followed by Long, Robbie Ferrier, Rich Mersereau, Todd Wilcox, Fred Reed, John Ferrier, Bill Hartman, Matt Corliss, and Gary Wyrick rounding out the top ten.
The Late Models started out their evening with bang that saw former track champion Andy Bozell set a new track record of 12.681 at speed of 106.458 MPH. The Late Models raw two heat races that saw Doug Rodanhisler and Jerry Zachary pick the wins. The 50 lap feature saw a bunch crashes starting on lap 18 that saw names such as Joe Bush, Brandon Zachary, Mike "Bubba" Brooks, Mike Walls, Ed Paul, and Brian Single all retire from the race after the carnage. When the smoked settle it was the biggest upset of the night that saw 15th quickest qualifier of the night the Upset Kid Eric McGlothlen bag $2,500 for the win followed by Matt Krywonski, Danny Mac, Jeff Vochaska, Ron Coburn, Doug True, Andy Bozell, Tom Wright, Curt Spalding, and Doug RodanHisler rounding out the top 10.
The M-40 Speedway will have a big 4-1 show this weekend that will see Mod Squad join the racing action along with Late Models, Pro Stocks and Pure Stocks. Who will be the first Mod Squad driver to win a race at M-40? Rumor has it you will see some stars from the O'Reilly USA Mod Series there with likes of Brad Springer, John Long, Mike Zordan, Dan Frazier, and many more other local mod drivers. The races begin at the new M-40 Speedway start time of 7:30PM sharp. If you are not able to attend the racing action be sure to listen to the races on the web at www.streamnetradio.com and join Kyle Ballard and Andy Jach with the call.

Powder Puff Challenge Series
I am beginning to get questions with regard to this series so I thought I would give you a brief overview of how we will be handling this race. First and foremost, this series is intended to be for amateurs only. If you race on a regular basis in another class at our track or any other, you will not be allowed to run in this series. You will need to register as a driver for this series. Forms can be obtained online on the website under Forms, Registrations and Reservations or obtained at the main gate on race nights. You do not need to reserve a parking spot or a car number.
If you have any questions, please let me know!

Waiver Forms For Children In The Pits
Insurance laws REQUIRE that both parents be present to sign a waiver the first night that your child will be in the pits. After that, the form will be kept on file for the entire season and parents will not need to be present or resign. The child will need to sign a separate waiver on a weekly basis.
Children must be 14 to be allowed in the pits. Ages 14-17 will require a parent’s signature.
Thanks!
Lorri
