Now there are more young drivers in the Nationwide Series and Truck Series and a lot of the promising young talent is able to avoid being retained in ARCA. In addition, the K&N Pro Series East has emerged as a series that seems almost preferable for development when compared to ARCA. ARCA has and always will be his series, but it's obvious he's a declining driver and his recent results were showing that. The fact that he's somewhat returned to form just shows the competition level is way down. 3.

Sponsor corrections: #99 HUDL/ Billingsley Towing #17 Reliance Tool #10 Mallory Marine Products #32 Diamond Equipment (811 was only an associate this race) #01 Rettig Motorsports (wrong team name) #02 Josh Williams Motorsports #79 Karl's Plumbing #34 Spirit of Henryville #04 RaceWithRusty.com #06 Great Railing #00 Wayne Peterson Racing Lot of engine failures this race. Will Kimmel was set for a top 5 until his engine blew on the last lap. He still managed to limp it across the line. 5.

Jordan posted: 08.20.2012 - 10:56 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I should have specified, I was referring to the change by the NASCAR guys to restrict drivers to earning points in one major series. 9.

CBASS posted: 08.21.2012 - 2:16 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Another correction is the #04 should be listed with ignition failure, NOT an engine failure. 11.

His first dirt win was ARCA's one-off at West Virigina Motor Speedway in 1997. 22.

Would assume that he was driving the #1 before I'd guess that it's actually a #0. 24.

Choquette, who was a part-time NASCAR Truck Racer at the time, qualified in the top-10 but blew a motor before the 3/4ths mark. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
