KOKOMO, IN. (January 18, 2012)- The JFR/Redbuck sponsored series rolls into the flat lands of Indiana this Tuesday night to race on the 1/4 mile Kokomo Speedway. This track was voted track of the year in 2k11. That means it will provide damn good racing for the series.
Executive spokesman of Redbuck Chris Lund explains how thrilled the ride with JFR has been, "It has been a blast, These guy's put on great show when they operate each Tuesday night.
"We just want to thank the drivers and track owners for letting us visit they're tracks a couple times a year." Said Chris Lund. When asked if the RedBuck Cigar group was pairing up again after this season comes to a close he responded, "Yes, In the summer we will be sponsoring JFR with the Summer Smackdown Series."
So far this season, JFR has saw a host different winners with, JFR_Dustin, VLR 18, WFO_RAINMAN, JFR_A2D and VLR_Shock all finding victory lane at least once in just six races. Shock earned the mid season title by 4 points over teammate and defending points champion at JFR, VLR_18. A quick run down of the top 5 in points look's like this.
VLR_Shock 223 pts
VLR_18 219 pts
JFR_Jim 186 pts
BLS_F1yer 176 pts
BLS_34 164 pts
Several drivers are on the outside looking to turn the season around and change the top 5 immediately.
So this Tuesday, Expect to see drivers such as, Shock,Wheel,Faschek,Jim,17,Duster,V6,BW,34,Dustin,SB.Flyer,Bullet,Blaze,and many others take on the fast 2 grooved track.
***Some updates & reminders on the future races and drivers***
February 7th race at Brownstown will be a DOUBLE POINTS race.
Jan 31st race at Canadiyuga has been cancelled, Due to the tracking being closed down. Will be replaced with BMS_Atomic raceway!
JFR A2D who had a shot at winning the title lost his ride due to an arguement with car owner, Look for him to fund himself racing on weekends at local tracks.
Before closing the statement, We caught a few comments on how drivers have been latley with JFR and there shot a title. A couple regular drivers at JFR:
VLR Shock "I'm happy to be leading the points right now and anytime I am able to have a lead over VLR_18 after six races I'm happy. This means nothing now, though, and I got to finish the last half of the season the way I've ran in the first half otherwise nobody will even remember who was leading with six races to go.."
VLR 18 "It's been a struggle so far this season as far as luck goes and I haven't got the finishes I've wanted. Hopefully the win last week will turn things around for the rest of the season."
JFR JIM "Its been a moody month for me, But im back with team JFR for at least another week or two and plan to keep putting on my best showing for them."
JFR Dustin "Eh I got one win for JFR this season, I plan to get a couple more, So get your big country asses ready."
JFR_Faschek "2011 was a bad year for us, Didn't collect any wins, We got a 3rd a first night out in the 16 car and jumped up in points, I think we are back"
WFO_Rainman "I plan to continue to pick and choose when I run JFR, and stop the VLR playground, i wish i could run the full season but it just isn't within costs this season. I was glad to break up the VLR party for a weekend"
JFR_17 "I just want to keep making the A Mains and get better throughout the season. I've got six races left to get better and improve and I hope people know who I am by the end of the season."
