Speedweeks entries:

Sadly, Bruce Gowland has passed on, but his heart and soul will still be at NSS in Feb. just like it has for probably 20 years or more.

In a VERY classy move, NSS has dedicated their big 100 lapped to this dedicated racer. It’s gonna be sad to not see the Gowland Sand & Gravel rig in the pits.

On a side note, he was also big into Tractor Pulling… ya know the kind with 3-4 blown, injected big-blocks…!

Announced last week at East Bay, once again Kenny Wallace will be in a UMP Mod down there.

I hear that with a few Miller Lites & a rental car, Kenny is also quite the show at 4am in the parking lot…!

Not sure who’s in which car here, but David & Buzzie Reutimann are both expected that week for the UMP Mods at EB.

Wisconsin’s Frank Kreyer is preparing a Super Late for New Smyrna. Last time he was down, the hung a throttle wide open in practice for the Governors Cup, and wiped out/burned down his car.

Glad to see that wreck didn’t spook him off from coming back.

After a driver switch in the off season, David Gravel from CT, will be running ‘select shows’ in '14. Since the car owner is from Florida himself, and the fact the team ran both Ocala & VSP last year (with Jac Haudenschild) I’m assuming they’ll be there this year also.

Added a handful of drivers to the New Smyrna Speedway - World Series Pre-Entries page. If the past is any indication, the next two weeks should see more and more rolling in.

(To make it a little easier, I have posted direct links (some still not active yet) on the right hand side of the Site that should take you to World Series information. We are updating info daily as we get closer to Feb.)

In an off-season driver change, Cole Powell will be driving Hillbilly Racing 79, a will be at the Daytona Battle.

In a VERY busy week, he will also be in the ARCA 200, "a few shows at NSS in the Mod, and also bringing his Late Model to “run one of the SLM races at NSS”.

3 different cars, at 3 different tracks, in 1 week.

Some guys get ALL the breaks…!

Another driver change will see Tommy Barrett making his first full Modified Tour run. This is the team that Mike Stefanik drove last year and ran both Daytona & NSS. I doubt they will make all the races at NSS, but will be there for the Richie Evans Memorial on the 21st.

Not only has Tommy never run either track before… he’s never even been IN the state of Florida…! Don’t count him out at NSS. This kid is known as a HARD charger.

Richie ran a few Sportsman races in the early '70s; then, when the Mods ran at Daytona on the road course, he’d be back and forth all week.

Donnie ran a few early- to mid-'70s World Series shows while running the DiGard #88 Chevy at Daytona, along with the Late Model Sportsman for the Permatex race.

Not sure if ol’ Pete Hamilton ran both the World Series and Daytona in the same week.

I don’t recall if Bobby Allison ever made it to New Smyrna for the World Series, but, he’d run just about anything over at the big track - Late Model Sportsman, Modifieds, Grand Nationals, and Busch Grand Nationals, along with the Cup car…

Silly season is in full swing in the Mods. Doug Coby is the new driver of the Mike Smeriglio #2 for the season. They should be at Daytona, no word on NSS.
