Summary: The race started out with a bang as on lap 7, Jared Kash in the 50 hooked Landon Rody into Shawn Donnelly and Jason Miller, all would continue. The race stayed clean until lap 38 when Lorenzi Rossini collided with Eric Webler and Brandon Corna, they all spun, but continued. Mike Oppenheimer was getting into tussles throughout the remaining 20 laps with DiCario and Landon Rody. DiCario and MO99 were fighting for 3rd when the 96 clipped the 99, Oppenheimer saved it, and eventually got in the back of the 96 later in the race. Landon Rody, severely off the pace, would get in the way of the 99 with only 5 to go. Oppenheimer dropped from 5th to 23rd. He would eventually regain a transfer position. Legge took the lead and really never looked back.

Summary: Race again started off with a bang. Four laps in, Shawn Glossum hooked the 98 of Todd Bradshaw on to the apron and into the wall. The rookie was then slammed into by Nate Knowitall in the 83. The race was calm again until lap 30 where Siam Rossini hooked Kimo Talofa in front of Carson Crompton, Mike Johnson, Jonathon Ringer and Tyson Lautenschlager, who all recieved damage in the wreck. The battle for the transfer spot was heated the entire race by Bill Sabo and Bruce Wilkinson. They swapped 15th and 16th several times before Sabo barely edged out the 32 on a pass attempt. Jen Smith took the lead 39 laps in and really never looked back, getting challenged by Todd Kinsin and Patrick Eichholtz.

I could, if you'd like, make a Livonia Entry List with the HTML Template I have.

You have enough on your plate with the NORA cars, I don't want to put any more work on you.

Alright then.

Nick, Ive got time to get a car done while watching Sebring this afternoon, which shoud I take?

If you could, take the EVM cars, I struggle with those every year.

TBH, If Antknee doesn't want to take the time to paint his cars/care about his team, just throw him out.

Ill need sponsors and Manu for those cars....?

I believe they are Ford Taurus with Cabelas. Thats what they were the past couple of years

Yes, I figured you would look in the entry list.

On the entry list they're listed as:

Evans Motorsports/Ford Taurus
10 - DRIVER TBD -- SPONSOR TBD -- ?
30 - DRIVER TBD -- SPONSOR TBD -- ?

No I mean the one in this thread, I updated it in this thread.

Durr...my bad

If I don't qualify, I might cry.

I need the Taurus Temp though.

It slipped my mind XD

Activison sponsors tthe 05 AYG car, I'm sponsored by Old Spice. I sent you the car a while ago, if you need it tell me.

And I'm on Webler Motorsports not Brandon Wears

If both of my cars miss the race, I shall join Tyson in a chorus of misery.

I also noticed I'm not on the entry list. I sent you my TGA

That was for AYG...

I noticed that Clezl has made it.... locked in to the race.

thats awesome!

I sent the AERS one too..

You can send again?

Can you use the same TGA? Only difference is is the AYG/AERS contig, not a big deal..
