When it comes to the state of Michigan, many images come to mind; most notably among them is the Mackinac Bridge. The beauty of engineering intertwined with the splendor of two of the great lakes, an island, and the unspoiled terrain of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula have made the bridge iconic. But, as most of us Michiganders know, the automotive industry and motorsports have their roots deeply planted in Michigan soil. Continue reading “Two Great Lakes And A Blue Deuce”

Berlin, Winston, and Crystal have all already cancelled their openers while here in Northern Michigan we have snow in the forecast for the foreseeable future. Continue reading “Homestead Motorsports & Michigan Dirt Cup Are On Track For 2013”
Near a quiet little cemetery in a quant town in North-Central Ohio there is a place where speed and power culminate for an ultimate show of competition and adrenaline.
Attica Raceway Park is in the heart of the Attica Fairgrounds and although locals are used to the rumble of a fast moving train trekking on the property line frequently, the hauling locomotives can’t even begin to hold a candle to the rumble that emits from the speed plant every Friday night and occasional Saturday’s.

It was definitely a wet weekend throughout the nation. But on a hope that the weatherman and his 0-20% chance of rain prediction was correct I headed down to Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio for the UNOH Sprintacular featuring the All Star Circuit of Champions, the 360 NRA Sprint Invaders, and Eldora Stocks. Of course, being mid-October I know the chances of a weather change were great, but I was really hoping to avoid the monsoon that’s ending line was mere miles from the famed half-mile track in rural Ohio.

The Michigan Auto Racing Fan Club prides itself on encouraging race fans to visit new Michigan speedways and become more diversified in their tastes.

While sitting in the bleachers at I-96 Speedway one car always seems to catch the eye of every fan. It’s not the neon orange no.94 on the side that grabs ones attention, but instead the smooth stealth-like moves of the driver behind the wheel of the blue hued Modified.
