    Hate to see Norm hang it up. From a farmer to a dirt track prep man and promoter, Norm did a fantastic job at Lincoln. Enjoy you're retirement ole buddy. You earned it.

    Hope Sarge keeps things the same.

      Norm and Yvonne are great people. My wife andI have gotten to know them over the last 12 years and we consider them friends. I hate to see them hang it up but, it must be time or believe me they wouldn't have. good luck Norm and Yvonne you both deserve it.

        Maybe Sarge will bring back the WoO LM'S to Lincoln or bring in the Lucas Series. Always enjoy traveling to Lincoln for the Summer nationals.

          You never know what Sarge will do. I hope to see more dual races of the powrI between Lincoln and Macon.

            Good luck Norm and Yvonne. One of the best track racing surfaces I have ever raced on week after week.
            Haters don't really hate you, in fact they hate themselves because you are a reflection of what they wish to be.

              I hate it for you Lincoln fans. He can be a class A JERK. He ruined the track prep at Paducah last week for the World 50. Yall can have him!

                I'll take my chances with Sargent!
                He is an actual Promoter not just a gate opener like some.
                And no I'm not talking about Norm & Yvonne, what they did with Lincoln Speedway was amazing!!!
                Thanks for all you did, thanks to you I have an actual dirt track only 20 minutes from home!

                  Darrell, you are off base on that one. Bob didn't even GET to PIR until after 2 PM as he was in DuQuoin prepping for the fair there. He had NOTHING to do with the track prep from last Friday. If you would like to speak to Bob he can be EASILY reached by phone call. Hope you have a good weekend.

                    Would like to congratulate Norm and Yvonne on their retirement as well. They CARED about everyone and the track. They have put in 12 hard years and deserve their thanks. Thankful that the track will continue on after their WELL DESERVED retirement. Enjoy it!

                      Track was prepped very good and was in shape for being a great track. When he showed up, he got all bent out of shape and hollered for more and more water. He messed it up.

                        You don't know what your talking about, there is another family running the track. They lease the track on a monthly basis.

                          By this time, it was too late.

                            I wasn't at Paducah that night so I don't know, but every race I've ever been to that Sargent has put on has been terrific.
