Steve Park and Austin Dillon

004.JPG

Steve Park said it's like being home when he's here at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. He said there's a lot of inexperience with the youth in the Camping World East Series today. He does ask his spotter to keep him informed of who he is racing around on the track and what their experience level is because he just doesn't know.

Park was asked what his goal was. His answer: "to win races." He said there is nothing on the horizon right now for the Modified Tour.

Austin Dillon also came in to chat with us in the media center. First, I have to say that he looks much too young to be driving a race car. When asked how he felt about the pressure to drive the number 3 car, he said he didn't have any. He said you have to look at it as fun. His grandfather (Richard Childress) tells him to just have fun and to stay in the gas coming off the corners.

Robby Gordon is currently 3rd in the vote for the All Star Race so go to Nascar.com and throw some votes his way. You can vote as much as you want.

All drivers and team owners who have won a race within the past 2 seasons. Drivers who have won championships in the last 10 years and have driven in a race within the past 2 years. Two drivers who finish 1st and 2nd in the qualifying event race and 1 driver who is voted in by the fans. These are the people who qualify. There are 4 separate races with breaks in between.

What's a good race without Robby?

Terry Labonte will be driving for Kyle Petty while he is off for his daughter's wedding. Rumors were rampant at Talladega that Kyle being out of the car may be more than temporary.

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.
