    John Blankenship

    Was a nice surprise to see John back in a car at Charlotte. Anyone know his future plans at the moment?

        The stuff John races is kept at the double down shop in Tennessee. Old man Buckingham told me at east bay this year that has had a pretty rough last couple years in his personal life, but is ready race again. It sounded like to me he would be racing a lot more in 2022.

          John’s equipment is stored/prepared at Tom Buckingham’s shop in Morristown, Tn a few miles away from Double Down. They use Craig Vosbergan’s hauler which is also kept at Tom’s shop.
          John can’t race much because he owns and is the daily operations manager of Jellystone RV park in Piegon Forge.

            Tom told me John does not own the campground anymore. I wont go into details here, he has handed over the ownership.
