From Belle-Clair Speedway...
Via phone call today Shannon Babb said he will join an always awesome field of Super Late Models this Friday August 12th.
Special Thanks to Vinson Mortgage Group & St. Clair Bowl Great sponsors of the Classic!

"the hell tour" champ staying home to cherry pick!!!!! boooooooooo!!!!
He has a couple of sponsors in the STL area and one of those has a big connection to this race.
He has never been able to get around Florence so probably a smart move.

its not who but how you get around the place
understand but terrible
I talked to a few drivers who skipped Belle Claire during the SN cause they didn't like it.Its dirt and they race cars on it.You don't like it cause you cant figure out how to race there.Tracks cant all be high banked 1/4 miles or such.Kudos to Babb for doing it once in a while.If you think the competition is easy there send some other big boys over and give it a shot.
its not a cruisin track
Love to see LOCAL drivers at LOCAL venues! Give em hell Shannon!
May be wrong, but last I checked Babb is a professional racer. Gotta make money to keep racing, even with sponsor support. The North/South field will be stellar, and very difficult to make the show. Shannon has historically been average at best at Florence. Belle Clair is offering a decent purse, and is much closer than Florence. I look at this as a very smart move from a business standpoint. Shannon will most likely save the car he planned on running at the World for next week and run another at Belle Clair. Plus probably make his tow money for the World this week.
Why doesn't this make sense to people?
What a Pu$$y. He!! boy can't run with the men at the North South. It is Cherry Pickin. No other way to look at it.
I will would betcha Shannon doesn't think so he has never won there on year during summer nats he needed a prov.
Iam pretty sure he hates that place, I think if belle clair wasn't running he would rather stay home than go to florence.
kkk is paying 3 k that night yep during the summer nats he finished 14 th
Thats my Bro and I cant agree more. Hahahahaha! We know where all the action is. Hope Sharon, oops, Shannon fares well. Hahahahaha!Quote:
