Unsure I'll try and find Out.

[WisWildManFan]

[HoosierDirtFan]

Very true, any word on Bshepp?

Is Paul Parker (also being #10) at all related to Pete Parker?

[HoosierDirtFan]

Is Paul Parker (also being #10) at all related to Pete Parker?

If I'm not mistaking Paul is Petes son; not for sure on that though.

[TackyTracker]

nice looking lineup so far

[plunks7]

If I'm not mistaking Paul is Petes son; not for sure on that though.

Yes Paul is his son.

[TheJet-09]

^^^ Thanks. For as long as Pete has been around I never knew he had a son, or at least one in racing. Maybe he got a later start with kids in his life, like I did as well. So a follow up question, does Pete still build his own cars (chassis)? Definitely a good field of cars expected. Weather looks decent so far too (at least for this far out). Hopefully a successful weekend for everyone involved!

[WisWildManFan]

Who was the black #6 car running the summernationals last year that was pretty quick? Was it like kloos or something close to that?

[kidrock]

More than likely Michael Kloos

[WisWildManFan]

Yea that was it, thought he would be in attendance for this one.

[WisWildManFan]

I counted 12-14 that I think have a legit shot to win based on the list you have now... can't wait!

[kidrock]

Yea that was it, thought he would be in attendance for this one.

Trying to find a schedule but, haven't found one yet

[Racing]

Just read T-Mac will be there.

I don't know the answer to the chassis. But Pete still races every once in awhile. Pete builds open haulers. And they are real nice looking. Their will be drivers at this race that have bought them. I would think their will be a good chance that Pete will be at this race.

[dsrt45]

Pete is all done racing .. They still do build there Custom Trailers

[WisWildManFan]

Event shirt looks awesome. Old man winter holding up a championship belt.

[HoosierDirtFan]

Should be a great weekend of racing at LaSalle. Going to be a quality field of cars even if some don't show up. Getting to see some of the MARS drivers that don't usually race up this way will be a treat for some of the fans in this region. Sure there might be a few surprise entries as there has been each year. Thanks to Tony Izzo Jr. and the staff at LaSalle for having a race this early in the season for us drivers, pit crews, & fans to enjoy even if it is a bit cold.

[HoosierDirtFan]

ADD: #4 Cody Mahoney - per the Cody Mahoney racing updates Facebook page.

[WisWildManFan]

Really suprised he wouldn't go back to Florence

[bob75]

No mike fryer

[golddirt]

Weather looking iffy Saturday

[Barbecueboy]

Usually don't know until the last minute if he's coming.

Neither does he......lol

[nixon145]

Ray Guss JR. will not be there per the Roberts Motorsports/Ray Guss Jr Fanpage on facebook. The car won't be done. Illinois Dirt Facebook page says they have word Jared Landers will be there.

[TackyTracker]

weather looking ok now... more clouds than sun but only a low of 40 with a high of 53

[huskerdirt]

No Terry Phillips, No Brad Looney.

But you can add Dave Eckrich.

[HoosierDirtFan]

Any word on Jesse Stovall, Brandon McCormick, Jeff Roth, and Justin Asplin?

[huskerdirt]

Any word on Jesse Stovall, Brandon McCormick, Jeff Roth, and Justin Asplin?

Asplin..... Yes.

Can't speak for the other 3.

[WisWildManFan]

I say babb wins one and Shirley gets one. Dark horse: ricky weiss looked pretty good last year.

[Cleetus Motorsports]

Man I wish someone was broadcasting this race for those of us who can't make it. Does anyone know if this tracks races show up on Race Monitor? Hoping to see Rodney Sanders have a good showing as I would like to see him run more late model shows and cut back on the modified.

[huskerdirt]

I say babb wins one and Shirley gets one. Dark horse: ricky weiss looked pretty good last year.

Ricky Weiss has removed the race from the schedule.

[WisWildManFan]

Guess he's an extreme dark horse than lol, I guess I will replace him with the B12

[TheJet-09]

What about Tony Jackson Jr? I didn't see any indication on his website or Facebook that he was going, but doesn't he run for points in the MARS series? I didn't know much about him but have obviously been aware of his success, so I wanted to see him race there. Looks like he builds some killer street stocks, among other things.

[Racing]

Tony will be there. He's gonna run both Mars and MLRA this year. It's on his schedule.

[TheJet-09]

^^^ Thanks! I swear it wasn't on his website last night, but I may have just been cross eyed at that time. I don't think he gets over our way often so looking forward to it.

[Racing]

It wasn't lol, they must have just updated it today.

[WisWildManFan]

Glad today isn't race day, nasty out

[Highside Hustler25]

Glad today isn't race day, nasty out

We've definitely had some rain, but I've seen LaSalles track prep in the past. They just saved some miles on the water truck. Hoping practice goes on tonight. Shouldn't be a problem.

[plunks7]

I hope Everyone has a Great time and Stays warm. I had planed on going, but my Health is keeping me at home. I hope someone their will be kind enough to post updates for us less fortunate that are not able to attend. It would be very much appreciated by all. Thank You!!! And go have yourselves a safe and fantastic time.
