The day at Perris starts off with this Jesse Hockett memory decal on the Kittle Motorsports entry driven by Danny Sheridan.
There were 3 Williams cars unloaded out of the Jory trailer this week, leading me to wonder if Rip Williams would be back. No, Rip told me that he was having problems with the nerves in his hand and couldn't even hold on to the steering wheel like he wanted. He is going to wait until he has more recovery in the hand.
Cody Williams and Heidi Tresler were side by side in the Jory Mule. Is this a budding romance? When was the last time you saw a sprint car driver dating a lady sprint car driver?
