Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Series Updates from Wythe (VA) Raceway - 07.11.11

[DelphComm]

In past years, I have always been in my office during the Southern Nationals Series and have posted updates on 4m each night. However, I am traveling with the series this year, so it will be harder to have my laptop accessible at all times. Instead, I will update each night on the new Twitter page for the Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Series located at http://twitter.com/sonationals.

If someone would like to copy results over here to 4m, feel free to do so. I will be posting updates, results, pictures, etc. each day on the Twitter page, as well as on www.southernnationalsseries.com (http://www.southernnationalsseries.com).
