Dan Lowther

The season opener for the In Front Motor Sports #63 sponsored by Specialty Paint Works, The Chefs Hut, Dalton Zehr.com,Fire Snacks, Identify Sign Works and Performance Design started off pretty good. Both practice sessions went good we just could not get the set up right. We qualified 10th with a 14.393 putting us inside second row for the heat race. After 2 yellows we were in the lead and Dan walked away with it for the rest of the race.

For the main event the car starting on the pole had problems with his car and decided to start at the back so it put us on the pole. The green flag dropped and Dan was gone pulling ahead by 4 car lengths then a caution came out and put the # 16 outside of us. They got the green flag and coming into turn 3 Dan had him but he came down door slapping Dan pretty hard but Dan knowing how to drive a race car knew it was either let out off the gas and give it to him or keep on the gas and they were both going into the fence wrecking both cars.

"Great job to Dan for being the bigger person that's why I love you so much".

Dan fell back to 5th just waiting for his car to come in it likes long green flag laps but another caution came out and Dan took a chance and went to the outside of the #16 on the cone restart. Getting the green flag Dans car was lose and he couldn't get to the gas when he wanted and fell to 4th then coming for the checkered flag Dylan Caldwell in the #40 ran his fastest lap of the night and got us by .086 for 4th place Good job Dylan. 5th place is still a great finish for the first race of the year. We would like to thank Travis, Trevor and Bill for all the help we appriciate it very much, And thanks to all our fans for cheering us on. Our next race is this weekend May 5th hope to see you all out there cheering us on once again hopefully with some good racing and a better finish. 

The Infront motorsports #63 sponsored by Specialty Paintworks had and interesting night. It started when loading the car at home it had a terrible shake. So after getting to the track they pulled the transmission out everything looked normal. We did a few practice laps to see how the car would do after putting it back together. Still had a little shake (but not bad)  Dan Qualified 5th out of 11.

While getting ready for the heat race the car would not start do to starter issues,  So in a hurry we had to get a push start which bent the fenders up but even after all the hurrying and issues we  had a good finish of 3rd.

 After the heat there was lots to be done on the #63 car in the heat race it got a little warm (Not  good)

but After getting a new starter in and thinking the over heating was cured we were ready for the 30 lap main event.

After a long winter of stripping the car down to a bare frame washing or replacing parts and getting a fresh new green paint job the In front motor sports #63 late model team is ready for the 2012 racing season.

Test and tune was on April 14th and was a great start to the year with only 2 minor problems the car was ready to be loaded in the trailer to be washed and looked over before our first race. This year we would like to welcome 2 new crew members Travis and Trevor seems how I wont be much help this year being pregnant they will be greatly appreciated. We would also like to welcome a new sponsor the Chef's Hut on the corner of Cole and Franklin.

Our first race is April 28th we are hoping to pick up where we left off last year with some good race finishes hope to see you all there. 

OK..Here we go with the 2012 Racing Season!!

Auto racing is an expensive sport. The monetary return for local racers is minimal.

At best, the money they make racing may pay for some gas and a tire or two.

The rest of the money required to compete and provide you with a night's racing entertainment has to come straight out of the drivers pocket.

With the economy the way it is right now, it is becoming increasingly harder and harder for a driver to justify spending the money required to keep the car on the track.

The costs to a driver ranges between $6,000.00 and $12,000.00 just for entrance fees, upkeep and repairs Per YEAR.  The costs for other classes is as much and in some cases more (Super Modifieds for example).
