Ricky Carmichael to Camping World East

As reported on The Backstretch, Ricky Carmichael will be racing in the Camping World East Series for Ken Shrader Racing, with backing from Hendrick Motorsports.

I'll be watching how Carmichael does this racing season. I watched him a little bit in Motocross so it will be interesting to see if he can do as well. I will also be keeping an eye on Steve Park. Park signed a fulltime contract earlier this year with NDS Motorsports. I've never really watched this division of racing but will keep an eye on both of these drivers as the year goes on.

Here's the racing schedule for the Camping World East Series. The division has two races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, June 27 and Sept. 12.

I am heading down to the Speedway Expo tomorrow. I'll be there for the festivities tomorrow night and most of the day Saturday. I've never been and want to go check things out. I will have my camera in hand so I'll upload a few pictures for all to see. Is anyone else going?

I'll be back tomorrow with my picks for Vegas...

Joey Logano is going to be there. He is supposed to be the next hot Nascar up and comer.

If you're going to keep an eye on Camping World East, let me know how Jeffrey Earnhardt looks.

Ricky Carmichael!! The real G.O.A.T. This kid was the man in motocross racing. He has set records that will probably never be broken in bike racing. His heart is bigger then the V-8 engine in his racecar. I can guarantee he will work his butt off to succeed in car racing.

Oh good one SJH! I can take it because I have a SENSE of HUMOR. So is now the time I get to call you a racist and that just because RC is from the south doesn’t mean he eats Mexican even though that joke was not meant to come across that way??

About this blog:
I am hopeful that this will be a place where people can air their two cents' worth about a race, catch up on the gossip and share their opinions on the rules and regulations of NASCAR. I have always felt that there has been a need for such a place in Maine and that this blog helps to fill the void.
