Would love to see him back at it. Just keep his dad away...

That would be cool. He really became a great driver culminating in the world 100 win and then it all went poof with his dad’s troubles.

Tom Buckingham is the crew chief not owner. Your posting this thread was a whooping 11 minutes after the original article was posted !

My point is you have 6644 post and most of the threads you start are copying someone else's articles respect ally dirt on dirt.and your driver role calls many weeks before the races. I don't understand all the personal biography of yourself on each of your post ? May 21 and attended 3 races-WOW ! Do you think anybody really cares what your next event is ?

My friend 3/4 of the races I planned to attend where rained out. I would have had about 12-15 races by now if not for the rain we've had here in northwest Indiana. 4 races after this past Saturday. Not much I can do with rain. There are a lot of other folks on here who's b.s is a lot worse. Go cry about them. Most of what I post is up coming race info at my local tracks. If you don't like it ignore it. No one has said anything to me yet and there are many others who have done the same in the past. I did give credit to Inside Dirt for the news. To be honest I'm sure fans are happy to see Blankenship back in a car. He was a good wheel man and fun to watch. Not whining about what you posted. Just my thoughts.

I am certainly happy John is racing at Eldora and the car being prepared / built by his former crew chief Tom Buckingham. In my opinion John is a first class guy! The only reason I posted to begin with was asking why you repeated a post that had already been made. Again- I don't understand the need for your self biography on each of your post or the need to state your next event. I understand the rainouts effecting your race attedence- but how many people on 4m list every race they have attended or the next they plan to attend - what's the purpose ? Heck I attended 13 races in Florida in February allone- not counting the 2 rain outs while being at Bubba's & Volusia - point is nobody cares !

Hopefully this stint lasts longer than his last one in the seat.
Its good to see another old face back again regardless.

That's understandable. I will say this. When I've posted on upcoming races. I've got a lot of thankyou's on 4m, Facebook, & other forums for the adverting via private messages. A few of those I was asked to help out which I don't mind doing. Lets hope the rest of the race season isn't as crappy as the beginning has been. I've see 2 races as a fan in the pits and two helping my friends with the cars. The weather has killed it here in the Chicago area.
Hoping this weekend isn't a complete wash out.

Per the article: as of now- just the 2 Eldora races. Van Lester is a successful business owner with varied business interest in West Virginia. He also owns/drives his crate late model around East Tennessee occasionally .

Hoosierdirtfan- you do an excellent job promoting races here on 4m-& keep it up. For what it's worth- I respect the fact that you are 100% forward with your identity & not hiding behind a keyboard. I apologize to you if I offended you- just always wondered why the extra personal info that's all - no harm!

If the article is correct, supposedly his Dad is funding it, as a way to mend his relationship with John.
Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

Foxfire2dirtracing, I see what you are saying, and no disrespect to you HoosierDirtFan but it does seem like it's a race to you to be the first person to break the news on 4m. To the point where you actually get upset if somebody gets something out ahead of you...

Wonder what his prior screen names were?

Not a new guy & no prior screen names! I would not allow myself to post/reply on anything -so as to not get into any peeing contest-that’s all. 4m is an outstanding source of information- but also comes with lots of b.s. and squabbling. Since 2010 just tried to read the good & ignore the bad. Can you imagine the post I have read over the last 9 years that I knew too be false-but but my tongue? Looks as tho-I should not post and just read & filter it all! And to mama- I promise you -it’s the same screen name since 2010 & like you my Eldora location has been section Aa for 24 yesrs

Kinda a "D!ck" thing to pick on someone's bio they want to share. So what he wants to show how many races he's attended? He's a fan and rarely offensive to anyone, unlike you. If you don't like his posts its very simple, DON'T READ THEM!
Bye Felicia...
I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
and I am still alive

Count this as another vote for HDF's promoting of racing. I like to see the "car count" threads & other info hyping up the big races. Aren't we all here cause we love this stuff? I share his enthusiasm & enjoy his information gathering.
Keep it up!!
