no you won't.

Throw me in that Belle Isle and Portland jawns if you would.

The 22 AERS team will run all available races.

The other 3 AERS will run 2 races a piece.
 - The 7 will run races 2 and 7.
 - The 10 will run races 4 and 5.
 - The 12 will run races 6 and 8.

The other teams will not participate.

Could get this thing going here pretty damn soon. Just have 3 cars to paint for race 1 and its a go.

Carbondale named Pre-Season finale.

Updated first post with Results from Race 1 at Cayuga!

PJ Boucher Wins at Cayuga

After a disaster happened to Ian Fallon's #15 with just 13 to go, forcing him into the pits for a flat tire under caution, it left PJ Boucher, first time in a stock car race, no less, in the first spot in search of the preseason win at Cayuga. Marathon Regional Tour drivers swept the top 3, with Fallon rebounding after a late race pileup to finish a disappointing 12th. Nate Smith paced the field at the beginning amongst a couple of cautions, one for a 5 car pileup in turn 3 caused from Steven Cortez spinning up the track that send Ricky Greene's 34 car to the garage, and for a Cortez spin on the frontstretch. Once green, Tyler Smith inherited the lead for a mere lap, before his engine expired to take him out of the race. Smith lost the lead on a restart for a Jack Collins spin to Aaron Parker in the 36, who controlled the long green flag run until a caution came out on lap 68 for Ryan Barley's #80 doing a quick flip in turn 2. On the restart, rookie top prospect Ian Fallon jumped out in front of the 36 to take the lead. There were some fireworks between the 83 and 36, as the 83 of Nate Smith pushed the Parker driven Dodge into the outside wall and back to 11th on the ensuing restart. A late race caution for a Patrick McKenzie spin saw Fallon jump into the pits for a flat right front tire and give the lead to PJ Boucher, who had been slowly climbing his way through the field all race. Nate Smith would get into the wall and go around with Seth McGuire, Jack Collins, Bjorn Brewer, and Ian Fallon just 4 laps later to end the race, giving PJ Boucher the first preseason victory. Madison Vermette's KGI #1 quietly placed 2nd, while Mike Yuill's JN #36 in the MRT snuck into 3rd.

Those in race 2 need to get me their cars ASAP!

Stewart Dominates Nashville

Frankie Stewart made Chautier Motorsports get their 2nd dominant performance this preseason with a dominating win at Nashville, taking the lead away from Joey Kington on a restart on lap 18 and never looking back to win his first preseason race. Beau Phillips started from the pole but faded quickly after the first yellow for a Miles Marcou spin on lap 12. Casey Lester took the lead shortly before, and stayed up front with 20th starting position Aaron Parker and Griffin Sharp all race long. AERS drivers, aside from Lester, rookies Greg Knee and Seth McGuire, were seemingly in a hurry to get this one overwith, as none of them really gave a strong push to make it to the front all race long. Dalton Forrister had a rough race, getting into Marcou for the only yellow and damaging the right side of his Rite Aid Toyota early on and never recovered. Zach McRae used a bit of strategy to take the lead under yellow, but his #5 Ally Chevy never really cooperated with him all night after the restart. Stewart started 8th but didn't make his way to the front until after the restart, where he went from 4th to 1st on lap 18, taking the lead away from Joey Kington, who had led lap 17 and only lap 17 off of the restart.

Gonna shut this down.
