Steven Wallace will be in town to see how many other people’s cars he can tear up, and hissy fits to throw.
He’s probably the only driver coming to Speedweeks that I wish would just stay home…!
Dan Leeck is a strong racer back home in Michigan, but I think this will be my first time to see him in person.
Chuck Tuck from Alabama seems to show up at 5-Flags for The Snowflake 100, but I’ve never seen him run.
Payton Ryan is making the move up from Legends to the Pro LM ranks. He is somewhat of a team mate to Daniel Hemric (who is the one pictured) in the Jack Links Meat Snacks 54 that looks just like this car.
I believe his debut was this last weekend at Speedfest in GA.
Every year, Andrew Gresel comes down from Ontario, runs in the top 5, and somehow attracts bad luck like a magnet.
By the end of the week, his car carries more duct tape than paint job.
He’s also yet ANOTHER guy that has a Wedge bodied LM back home.

I for one will be glad when this team runs out of money. The car pictured looks unsponsored so maybe they can get Allstate and name the team Mayhem car.
Paul Ellis is bringing this Fla Mod down from Virginia… but the car itself has a lot of local laps.
It’s a former Bob Judkins owned 2x that was bought by Paul, repainted & renumbered, and ran REALLY strong with Aaron Williamson at the wheel.
Looks like Paul will handle the wheel himself at NSS for the week.
14 year old JJ Haley is bringing a Pro Late from Indiana.
Garrett Jones from Mooresville NC has moved up from the UARA series into the Pro Lates. He had a strong run last week at Watermelon Capital in GA.
[QUOTE=Frasson118;140486]A couple years ago in the Richie Evans 100, Ron Silk was part of a 3-way battle for the win along with Ted Christopher and Bobby Grigas III.
It was a THRILLING race… one that those in attendance won’t forget for a long time. To me, it still goes down as one of the best races I’ve ever seen in my 45 years as a fan.
Ron finished 2nd in that one, but he’ll be back to get one that’s owed to him.[/QUOTE]
That was a GREAT race! By the way, Christopher confirmed via interview on Speed51.com that he will not be making the trip to Florida this year for Speedweek
Jerry, I’m not sure if I just missed it in your posts here, but, Mario Fiore is bringing his #22 Whelen Modified with Tommy Barrett as driver.
EDIT: Found it on page 2, but no mention of Mario. Mario had some talent in his cars: The Reg, Fuller, Sacks, and many others have put the (former) #44 in Victory Lane, especially at New Smyrna.
Mario is kind of the “Unofficial Cheerleader” for Tommy Barrett. But he has no ownership of the team, which is owned by Chris Our. Last years driver for them was Mike Stefanik.
Lots more “Pre-entry” stuff coming when I can find some time. Same with the Reunion… plenty going on, but no time to update.

Saw a bunch on twitter today maybe old news…
Will Gallaher in the Garrett Jones team car in SLM for NSS.
Joey “Mooch” Mucciacciaro in the Crooks racing entry. Saw they were at the DEI chassis dyno today and said they were headed to the wind tunnel then to NSS. Now the chassis dyno at DEI probably aint cheap but wind tunnel time for a SLM - what a waste! First feature the nose will be boogered up. Hoping that was a joke…
Also saw someone mentioned that Ben Rowe was headed down to NSS for speedweeks - this was after the pas cancelation. Would love to see confirmation of that one.
Getting excited!
Holy crap… 8000 views.
And still, most tracks don’t see the value in informing race fans about what’s upcoming.
