Tim's Corner - Issue Three - Green Flag Racing
Not Hard to Do! If you happened to take in the last
two NASCAR Racing 2003 Season races on RLMtv.com you were treated to
some first class racing. Not only were we treated to some close
battles on track but we saw lots of green flag racing! Out of the TT
Racing League's Sunday Stock race at Atlanta and the IFRT Pro Cup
Series Firecracker 300 at Charlotte, we saw a grand total of five
cautions. Five yellows out of 314 laps is pretty spectacular and every
driver involved in the fields should pat themselves on the back for
the effort.
On Sunday it was Michael Sharp driving his #300 to
victory after leading forty nine of the one hundred fourteen laps. He
beat Matt Morgan's #12 and the other seventeen drivers to the line for
the victory in race eight of their fifteen race season. Race one was
on RLMtv earlier in 2010 and we can't wait to see them again on the
airwaves! Tuesday brought the longest race of the IFRT
Pro Cup Series season with the Firecracker 300. Only one yellow slowed
the event after Nick MacMillan had a "brain fade" and looped his #6
around. Once again, Kevin Pankow took his long run setup under the #18
Central Merchant Services Toyota Camry to the front to win his second
race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. The field was short on Tuesday
as the Menards, Dennie Daniels and John Rhine among others were absent
but even with their absence, the field was stacked with talented
NR2003 drivers. Speaking of talented drivers, I am
pleased to announce that the Late Model Championships for NASCAR
Racing 2003 Season will be returning in 2010. Expect details to be
released in the next couple of weeks for the event which is expected
to be shifted to late November with the broadcast on RLMtv. If
sponsorship can be found, we will also be hosting an iRacing aspect of
the event to be held in December but once again will all depend on
donations or sponsorship. With last years event boasting late race
fireworks, you will not want to miss this one! This
weekend is a big one as well on RLMtv with four shows in four days,
being kicked off with the Bob Brewer Memorial at Daytona. It is the
4th annual event celebrating the life of the sim racer from NASCAR Sim
World. MRL is on the airwaves Sunday with events on Saturday and
Monday as well. Don't miss it! Until we meet again,
keep the hammer down and we'll see you at the track! |
