Brenden “Butterbean” Queen earned an impressive fourth-place finish at North Wilkesboro Speedway on Sunday in his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut. “Man, this is what I worked for my whole life and never knew if I’d get this opportunity,” Queen said.

Be aware that the road is open to traffic, and if the volunteer whistles for you to stop, you must stop. If you ignore him, you will not get a place (or a beer!). RACE DURATION—Because this is such an early-season race, we have been asked about shortening the time from 45 minutes + 1 lap to 35 minutes + 1 lap. If you all agree to that change, I am okay with it. We will decide pre-race. PARKING: Bobby says the upper portion of his yard is ok to park on. Use 228 Five Points Road, Merztown, PA as the GPS. Look for the “RACE PARKING” signs. BYOW—Bring your own food and race hydration. There will be beers for the post-race. Bobby and Shelby have asked that we make our way home no later than 8:15 p.m. WHATS NEXT: Week 2 https://buff.ly/3wHzZP4 Next week, we're on the other side of the road. The blue line is ridden out to the red loops. You will race on the red loops until you hear the 1-to-go bell, at which point you will return on the blue line. We may add one lap of the Prologue to this, but that is TBD.

Plymouth completely redesigned the Belvedere/Satellite/Road Runner series for 1971 with a handsome fuselage theme. The coupes and hardtops were now quite different from the more conventional sedans and wagons. The two-doors had a low recessed grille surrounded by a loop bumper, flared fenders and a high trunk. 1971 Plymouth Road Runners could be recognized by the “ladder stripe” running down the C-pillars. The new Road Runner Hardtop was shorter, but the wheelbase was longer. Performance was being eroded by insurance rates and emissions issues, and this would be the last year for the high-powered engines. The muscle car party coming to an end, and there were no more Superbirds no convertibles, while the Road Runner and GTX were limited to just one Hardtop model each. Plymouth sold 651,812 units in 1971, nine percent less than 1970, while the industry rose 31 percent overall. As a result, the division dropped from third to sixth place nationally. On a brighter note, Richard Petty came back to drive his signature #43 blue Hemi Road Runner and won his 3rd NASCAR Grand National Championship.

Learning from problems At Brands Indy #Zeoprototypes race in August I led into the Druids corner off the start only for the paddle shift to fail leaving me stuck in 5th gear, so I dropped back to 2nd place. Probably the hardest race I have ever done, stuck in 5th gear being careful not to pull it into 6th despite being on the limiter for 3 seconds at the end of the start finish straight. And then when the leader made a mistake into Clearways (see video) I was straight up the inside, blocked him before he could out accelerate me and went onto win with a fastest lap of 45.2, which is only 1 second off my best. I learnt more about driving in this race than I have done for years: - Its not over until it’s over - I found an additional 6 mph through Paddock Hill Bend - Lots of good new lines including lots of (legal) curb on the inside of Clearways - If a corner is between gears use the higher one – it will be quicker! - You get a lot of corner exit understeer when you can't balance it on the throttle - The new Jenvey profile throttle system for the 2L Duratec (launching soon) works very well - Fire extinguisher powder gets everywhere including the paddle shift actuators. I am still trying to decide if a lap in 5th gear should be part of every qualifying session.
