If Lucas races rocket 1 would probably go to atomic and brownstown

Rocket is a sponsor at Atomic, or at least that Rocket billboard in turn 3 would suggest.

I agree with bk....good for them.

I read through all that and it was cool to see names from my region ....even in the hornet division.

Really cool.

Those billboards have been there for a couple years. Brad posted the track sponsors earlier today, there wasn't a rocket chassis logo on there. The carpet outlet billboard up there no longer sponsors the track either.

I see a driver in the IMCA/WISSOTA Mod out of Kansas by the name of Jordy Nelson. That isn't THE Jordy Nelson is it?!?

[Mod Runner]

Wouldn't surprise me. Jordy is a real wheelman.

The only thing that is going to be good at Bristol is the 2 woo weekends they are going to have so many cars there they will keep the race track wore out an nascar going to be a joke the sprint race should be the best.

The 2021 schedule lists the series that will run there. The website does have a Rocket logo at the bottom of the page, either they're paying or getting free advertising.

A few names off the top of my head that I didn't see on the entry list and thought would be on there.

Overton
Babb
Feger
Ferguson
Shirley

Its a different Jordy Nelson. The NFL WR is not a racer.

I think it's possible Shirley might attempt running Lucas again when they see where they are after speedweeks. They have all the Lucas events listed. Second part of Volusia also.

This Jordy Nelson has been racing at Beatrice Speedway for about 25 years, maybe longer.

Lucas won't reschedule the Atomic and Brownstone Weekend. Those raced have been that weekend for years. Also, no urgency for late models to enter since there is no cap. You'll see all the reghlar WoO guys for sure.

This. I’m not sure how people got the idea Lucas would shuffle the schedule just accommodate Bristol. Strickler and EPJ entering have nothing to do with Lucas cancelling. They probably didn’t know there wasn’t a cap and entered anyway just in case Lucas was cancelled because of weather/pandemic.

Alot of things we don’t know about the super late model side. Most being the total payout. 50k to win is great, but if 5th place is only 3k and start money is 1k. What’s the point of paying 50k then? Not everybody showing up to race is racing for the winners purse. The entry list reminds me of Gateway, a complete mix of drivers from all over with a couple of big dogs thrown in. Nothings wrong with that, it’ll be cool to see a big event without every single Lucas/WoO guy in the field.

So probably not the former NFL player Jordy Nelson then.

[Highside Hustler25]

At least half an probably 2/3 reds of those on the super list have no business being there most of them couldn't win a Saturday night race much less up there.

Not a popular opinion, but I somewhat agree. 1/2 to 2/3d's so far really have no chance on making money. I guess it shows who's racing on a budget and who's not.
