Which tracks / races are you headed to this week?? Week 3.

[huskerdirt]

Junction Motor Speedway-McCool Junction,NE
Mike Chapin Memorial Spring Thaw

Mike Chapin was a great man. Watched him race as a kid.... They called him the chicken streaker. Was never fastest, always had a car that was a good 10 years older than what anybody else had. He showed up every week. They don't make guys like him anymore.

Years later he worked as the pit announcer at Junction. Walking through the pits one night. He came on and said, "Id like to have your beer, Id love to have your women, but I NEED to have your transponders or you don't get paid.

He made it out to Junction one more time before he passed last year. They let him speak at the drivers meeting and he got take a few more laps around the track. I believe he died the following Tuesday.

Thanks Huskerdirt for the story on Mike's career. Sounds like he more than deserves this recognition in the form of a memorial race.

I'm sure you will here some more stories about Mike this weekend.

Have a safe trip out to Nebraska. Junction is the nicest facility we have out here with a beautiful back drop.

since Florence has cancelled, I will probably take rose to see the all star sprints at atomic. with a high of 40, better take plenty of warm clothes.

I'm thinking I might do something nice with the wife this weekend, that should free me up for 2-3 months of racing coming up. It's worked the past few years so I'll take what $ I was going to spend on gas, food, tickets, etc. at Florence and have a nice date night with her.

This will work in my favor.

And a low of 20... Rain Thursday and Friday so if they get it in i'll be surprised but if they do I'll be there freezing my butt off!

Thanks for the good wishes. When was I-80 built?

I-80 was built in 1993. Open in 1994 I believe. At one time they had Late Models, Modifieds, and 360 sprints on the weekly card. Oh my that placed was packed every week. Here's a little throw back to the first years of I-80 Speedway.


Junction was built in 2004. The Friesens have been in racing for a very long time. Good people.
