In the last article on Delaware international Speedway, March 27, 2008, I had stated some of the dirt on drivers plans for the 2008 season. Below is the correct way the information should have read on Billy Pauch. Sorry for the confusion.
Before - "Billy Pauch will be driving for the #1W Will Brown big block."
Should have read - "Billy Pauch will be driving for the #1W Will Brown big block at Delaware on special events, but will be a regular at New Egypt on Saturday nights, or other tracks."

All Systems Go At The Delaware Motorsports Complex
March 27, 2008
By Bonnie Nibblett
The Delaware Motorsports Complex is all systems go. The Tri-track grounds are already underway at the US 13 Dragway, and the US 13 Kart Club Track with both tracks having practice runs. But this coming weekend the big, fast, tight half-mile clay oval will have there test-n-tune for the circle track. After this weekend all three tracks will be in gear and running each weekend. That’s why it is magnificent that the complex satisfies three types of racing, drag, karts, and stock cars. It may not be enough for all but it can feed the itch a bit for sure.
There is a bit of DIRT on the drivers with some changes for 2008. At the half-mile Steve Downs II # 39W will be behind the Woods big block modified. Downs qualified in all four winternationals races in FL. That’s a big plus with all the competition there. Jamie Mills will be behind the #55 Keith Coulbournes’, while his nephews (Jordan & Joseph) switch to big blocks mods and run the #30. Billy Pauch will be driving for the #1W Will Brown big block at Delaware on special events, but will be a regular at New Egypt on Saturday nights, or other tracks. Billy Pauch will be driving for the #1W Will Brown big block. Ricky Johnson #69, and Norman Short #8M are ready to hit the track. Jeff Brown had a rumor going round he would not race this year but that is false, he has the Chesapeake Paving #9 going strong. Will H. J. Bunting go for 3 champions’ titles in a row? Who will beat him?
Late Model seats have Richard Jarvis, Jr driving the Mid-Coastal Siding #11 owned Steve Nutall super late. Jon Callaway is going to sit in the Gary Simpson’s Construction #12K late model. Kevin Scott, Jr. #12 will move to super lates after running in the Street Modifieds the last two years as well as Callaway from the street mod. 2006 & 2007 defending Champion Donald Lingo, Jr. will return to his #55L when he is not driving for Alex Beaumont # 22A in the MACS Series this year. Derrike Hill will return behind a super late and race against his well known father, David Hill, the winningest driver at DIS. Will Dave Hertz # 15 return at the start of the season? Vic Thomas in the A1 Graphic & Lettering # 77 will hang up his helmet this year to concentrate on his new graphics business. Who will grab the title this year?
The United Racing Club (URC) starts the sixty-first year with the new sponsor Rislone; Advance Auto Parts previously sponsored. Last year’s champion Curt Michael will be behind the wheel to drive the Bill Gallagher's #5G for 2008. While Davey Sammons will take over the Palladino #99, Dave Ely will go with Gene Franckowiak #75; Chris Coyle #4 is new to Chad Simon URC sprint. Both Scott McClaren sprints #21 and 21A will have Scott behind #21, 2007 Rookie of the Year Andrew Hannula drives the #21A. Guy Howie has Brian Seidell driving the #19H. There are at least ten new rookies to the club for 08, Greg Coverdale returns. For all the updates on the URC visit the clubs web at www.urcsprint.com. The Sprints roll into the Delaware International Speedway Saturday, April 19, 2008; there’s much to see.
Brad Trice will power the Mitchell’s Auto Salvage # 57 AC Delco Modified (crate) this year. Will Chad Clark retain another title in 08? How many new drivers will move to this class this year?
The Street Modifieds class once again will run either the Street Modified engines or running the GM crate motor like the AC Delco Crate Modifieds. Last year two drivers had the street specification motors, which were Mark Williams #26, and Steve Ellingsworth #1. Will Jack Mullins, Jr. defend his championship Street title? This class sure had a lot of new drivers last year, what will the new season be like on the season opener Saturday, April 12?
The Modified Lite may have some of the younger drivers that ran in karts and Mod Lite Jr. last year come aboard. Steve White will ease his schedule to help his son in racing. The US 13 Kart Club Track has a few drivers moving up to the Mod Lite Jr. class. Both the Mod Lite Jr. and Mod Lite classes run at Delmarva Motorsports Park in Seaford and serves as a sort of stepping stone from karts to this type car, and then step up again. Shawn Weber, Adam Weber, Ryan Dryden, is a few that will upgrade.
It’s no secret that I love racing, and have this addiction for “NEED FOR SPEED” that must be fed. But I got to admit, I am trying to restrain myself with the enthusiasm to get the season launched at the big oval track. It seems my love of racing is really excitable this year; not sure why but I’m going to ride it out? Yes I love each year, but this year I can’t wait to hear the engines, smell the fumes, and see the cars sliding into the turns. The feeling is hard to describe much like the thrill of catching fish is hard to explain. However, if you’re already a fan you know exactly what I mean. For those that don’t understand, it’s a great night of entertaining thrills; you only live once, its okay to try new things? Come out to the grounds to watch your favorite type of racing.
I really started getting hard to bear the weight of the half-mile not opening yet, after NASCAR kicked off in February. But then I also tuned into Hagerstown races in March and seeing the preview of some of the cars got my engine purring for take off. A lot of us have this addiction, and can’t wait to cheer their favorite driver. Fans can’t wait to be at the track and show off the favorite drivers action wear or to act like a silly nut in the stands jumping up and down and hollering to the drivers; it is perfectly A-okay to do this guess, don’t fall though.
Count down has already started for most of us but after today there will be around 14 days left, before, the gates open at the Delaware International Speedway for the season opener on the oval. There will be test-n-tune the week before on the oval on April 5th from 6 – 9 PM, gates open at 5 PM. The opening date for the first features night is Saturday, April 12, gates open at 5 PM, and cars take to the track for warm ups at 7 PM. Any questions you might have can be answered by calling the office at 302-875-1911, or the tracks hot line at 302-846-3968, or the web at www.delawareracing.com.
The US 13 Dragway will start points this weekend Sunday, March 30, 2008. Gates open 10 AM, time trials at 11 AM. The weather has been little demanding as to letting the drags get on to the test-n-tune, and some of the events already, so hopefully that is all behind the strip.
The US 13 Kart Club Track had practice back on March 14, and the first night of Friday night racing starts tomorrow night March 28. Gate open at 5 PM, Registration 5-7 PM and practice starts at 7 PM. There have been some changes in the classes that will run this year, along with a new starting format, new times for the state races and gate age limit being changed in April to 9 years old and under free. Practice went well so everyone is looking forward to this weekend to get the season started. Check the webs site at www.dekarting.net or call the hot line at 302-846-2646.
With all systems go at all three tracks, the season is shaping up to be a busy, fun, successful year. There will be more DIRT on the drivers in weeks to come.
