Curious as well. Going to be a nice payout for somebody.

[CRK]

Shirley and Unzicker have it on their schedules.

[#FALSuperman]

it will pretty much be local/regional drivers on this one, with WOO & Lucas both running.Feger may be the biggest name showing up.

Surprised Babb is skipping this one.

Surprised Babb is skipping this one.

Definitely a head scratcher. He skips the North/South, and decides on traveling to Batesville, AR (a longer drive than North/South) for the $40K payout. Unless Shannon wins some prelim races and finishes 2nd, he won't clear 10K. Whereas, racing at FALS, he has a much better chance of winning the 10K feature, while not paying out the gas money to travel against top competition (LUCAS)! Goes to show, everyone's rational thinking on here about staying local and regionally makes more sense "money wise" is not necessarily what the drivers are thinking in their process of skipping certain events.

Schlenk, Unzicker, Rich Bell, and Brandon Thirlby are top 4 in points in ALMS. I think they will be at Kankakee on Friday and FALS on Saturday.

Babb is close friends with the Moyers I wonder if that's why he's going to Batesville.

My guess is maybe he wants to throw some stuff around with other Black Diamond chassis racers. If I remember right, he parked it here a week or so ago and got back in the Rocket. Just speculatin.

...and Babb never struck me as caring to much for FALS too...

are you kidding?

[TMaCiLLiNi39]

I think people are forgetting that Shannon is a Past Champion at the Topless 100... He has always supported the Topless... But don't be surprised if he qualifymies poorly that he doesn't load up and head to Fairbury

Schlenk has been borrowing cars around home for almost a month. I doubt you see him travel right now.

You make a good point

You could be right but, he usually runs pretty good there so, I don't know why he wouldn't.
