Getting The Bugs Out Of Both Quaker State Cars
By: Elliott Racing PR

Mechanical problems were the key reasons both the Quaker State Impala and Honda struggling on Saturday night. Our Late Model was completely rebuilt after the carnage the week before to the drive-train. Problems started early when the clutch would not disengage. The new parts must have rejected the rest of the car, but we never stopped working on the problem and made every race, getting lots of seat time on our new home track.

ARRIVE AND DRIVE INTRODUCES: WILLOW BABERSTOCK
By: Jamie Horner, Horner Racing

Exhilarating, thrilling, and fast paced are words used to describe racing. Racing can also be described as an increasingly expensive hobby. Starting out in the sport is one of the most difficult ventures to take part in. In order to drive in many of the organizations across Ontario you need to have your own equipment, or at least be willing to dish out a considerable amount of money to have someone else do the work. In my opinion this is one of the reasons that the sport seems to have dwindled in past years in combination with the economic downturn throughout North America.

Thank you. <3 #14
By: Jamie Horner - Horner Racing - 3/15/2012

Due to all of the help from members of the fan site and friends from my facebook page I have been given a recurring writing spot on female racing news. As long as people keep reading them I can keep writing. I am extremely happy about this development and it has already started to open doors for the Horner Racing team that I never thought were possible. So I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who ready the intro blog and took the time to like the article. Another big thank you goes out to Amanda Martin for allowing this Canadian driver (me!) the chance to wrtie for femaleracingnews.com. My next blog will go live tomorrow Thursday March 15th at noon. The fans voted that they wanted to hear about my favourite racing moment. Soooo that is exactly what i wrote about. :) In future if you all have other ideas you would like to see me write about just post them on the horner racing fan site and I will see what I can do.
Thanks, Jamie Horner #14

A little note from the driver.
By: Horner Racing - 3/15/2012

Over the years there have been many off seasons. Non as long as the two year off season that i have been on since my injury. I could not be more excited to get back in the drivers seat and behind the wheel. Im setting a few goals for myself.I am currently still able to win the rookie of the year in Kawathas Late Model division. I would like to add that to my other rookie of the year trophies from a variety of other tracks. My all time goal is to finish within the top ten in points. There is also a program called drive for diversity that i would like to apply to next year. If we have a decent season this year i think that we could be more then elligable for the program. I feel very positive going into this season and I truly hope that this positivity will carry through and help the team to get faster every week.

Shawn McGlynn Preparing For Trip To New Smyrna Speedway
Prepared by Shawn McGlynn Racing - 1/24/2012

Shawn McGlynn of Kitchener, Ontario will be racing at New Smyrna Speedway in Florida during Speedweeks. The team has acquired a Super Late Model from Ritchie Bros. auctioneers employee Les Harding. The Lefthander Chassis is one that McGlynn is currently tweaking and using ideas he has compiled from some of the big names like Chase Elliott, that competed at the Snowball Derby. Shawn’s father Roger is building a 700hp engine to go along with Shawn’s conventional sprung set-up, which some say will not be competitive against the teams running bump stops.

“We are excited to see if we can run at the front with this car and are preparing a number of moment centre and spindle combinations to test throughout the week” said McGlynn. “We have two sponsors so far for the week in Marvin Freiburger and Sons Truck Repair and Service out of Walkerton and Blast Floor Coating - an epoxy concrete restoration company in Waterloo.”

Watch for the #81 along with several other Canadians already registered to compete during Speedweeks in February. For more information visit: http://newsmyrnaspeedway.org/

Three weeks after the original scheduled start date for the Oktoberfest Classic weekend at Flamboro Speedway, the Spira - Grant’s Automotive Team were more than ready to get the show on the road. Unfavourable fall weather was not cooperating with track promoters and since it was possibly the last race of the year for the Spira Team, there were mixed emotions about the long off season ahead, from excitement of rebuilding the cars to disappointment about the routine schedule being broken by a long cold winter.
