Yorktown, IN - We have made it thru another weekend of
racing.....This weekend saw the Great Deals Racing Team at Columbus
Motor Speedway for the Sizzler Marine 125 pressented by E M H and T
and Howe Racing....We rolled into Columbus, Ohio with the sun
shining brightly and with two hours we were in one heck of a rain
storm...After about 60 minutes of rain the weather cleared out and
we
we back at the job of putting both the Great Deals/McGunegill Engine
# 26 Rick Turner Ford Fusion and the Great Deals/McGunnegill
Engine/Champion Windows/Freeport Press # 32 Bret Miles Jr. Chevrolet
Monte Carlo into todays race. Rick qualified 9th and Bret Miles Jr,
in only his second race in a Super Late Model, did not lock himself
into the race and had to race his way into the race thru the last
chance race...Only two cars were being taken from the 15 lap last
chance race and after spinning in the race Bret finished 6th and was
at the mercy of the promoters to put him into the starting field for
the big show that evening...Well, Bret was in the show by a
promoters option and we thank all who were responsible for that
decision...
The Sizzler Marine 125 was one of the best shows of the season in my
opinion...A lot of door to door racing and a lot of action on the
track....When all was said and done after the race the Great Deals/McGunneigll
Engine # 26 of Rick Turner finished a 9th and Bret Miles Jr.
finished a very respecable 15th for only his second start in a Super
Late Model.....This run by Rick should move him up in the points
standing a notch or two this week....Bret got just exactly what he
needed and what we had projected at this point in the
year....Valuable "seat time"... the only goal on this year for the
Bret Miles Jr. number 32 car was to get a lot of "seat time" and get
Bret familiar with driving a Super Late Model and working with the
Great Deals Race Team in his development for the run for Rookie of
the year in 2008....
All in All it was a great weekend and one we are pleased with....
Next Week sees us in the Great Deals Coupon Magazine Back yard at
the Anderson Speedway for the Great Deals 125 off the High Bank at
the fastest high banked quarter mile racetrack in the Nation...The
Anderson
Speedway....Qualifying is at 6:30 and the Green Flag drops at 8
pm....We invite all of you out to watch both Great Deals/Mcgunegill
Engine cars in action next Saturday, June 9....
