4th of July Weekend 07/01/2009 This weekend John Memmer Racing has decided to race at Bloomington Speedway and Vermilion County Speedway in Danville, IL. We look foreward to seeing each and every one of you there
Close But No Cigar 06/24/2009 JMR took this past Friday off do to fact that John received food poisoning the previous evening. Saturday morning John and the entire team were ready to go to the fabulous Lawrenceburg Speedway. The team arrived at Lawrenceburg early that evening and had the car ready to go, so John and another member of the crew decided to go have some stress free fun at others expense at the go kart track next door. After that was over we got down to business. John started the pole of his heat race and won comfortably, because of that result John started 2nd in the feature. As the green flag waved John rocketed out to a commanding lead and would lead the first laps of the race. All was looking great until lap 14 when Robert Ballou put a slide job on John and as a result John fell back to second. After that Chad Boat and John traded slide jobs back and forth for the next several laps with John prevailing and holding the second place spot where he would finish for the night. John was happy with the result but yet disappointed because yet again the first victory alluded him. Next on the schedule is Vermilion County Speedway in Danville, I, this Saturday night. Hope to see you all there.
Illinois Sprint Week 06/17/2009 This past week John Memmer Racing toured the state of Illinois in chase of the Inaugural Illinois Sprint Week Title. The sprint week started Tuesday and continued at a different venue each night until the final Sunday at Shep’s Speedway. The first night of ISW was in Danville at Vermilion County Speedway. John enjoys racing there and has had success there already this year. For that evening the sprint cars qualified, John qualified 16th and started the feature in 11th. John raced his way up through the field and finished a respectable 6th place. On Wednesday JMR traveled west to Spoon River Raceway in Canton. The evenings festivities again kicked off with qualifying where john timed in 8th quick. John then started the feature in 8th and had a strong run finishing in the 2nd position. Spoon River was without a doubt John’s favorite track through out ISW. Jacksonville was next on the schedule, but mother nature halted all hopes of getting the show in for the night. Friday was off to Tri-City Speedway in Granite City. John started 2nd in his heat and won. As a result of passing points john started 4th in the feature event. JMR totally missed the setup on the car and fell back to 10th the worst finish of the week. Saturday JMR traveled back north to Lincoln Speedway. John started 3rd and finished 3rd in his heat race. John started 9th in the feature and was up to 5th before jumping the cushion and hitting the wall creating a puncture in the right rear tire, John came home in the 8th position. By this time john had slipped back to 3rd place in points. The last night of ISW was at Shep’s Speedway in Alexandria. Again they qualified and John qualified 7th, won his heat race after crashing and getting out of his car with 4 laps to go. Finished 2nd in the dash, starting 2nd in the feature and finishing 3rd. John finished 3rd in ISW points and had a great time along with the rest of the team. This weekend JMR will be back to the normal schedule. Bloomington Speedway Friday and Lawrenceburg Speedway on Saturday.
TRI-STATE SPEEDWAY 06/03/2009 After last weekends racing at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. It has been a dream for John since he was little to run a wing show at the famed half mile. John Memmer Racing has decided not to race with MSCS this weekend and focus on the upcomming Illinois Sprint Week that starts this comming Tuesday at Vermillion County Speedway. If JMR does race anywhere this weekend it will be at Bloomington Speedway on Friday, but again that is not for sure yet. So for the first time in 3 years JMR will not be racing at Tri-State Speedway. We would hope to see abunch of people out suporting the Inagural Illinois Sprint Week with 6 races in 6 days. Check back next week for more of JMR's latest racing news
