R after the hometown denotes Rookie contender.
Delaware had Johnny Benson running one weekend this past summer and I didn't hear about it until afterward and I keep my ear to the ground on this stuff. Tracks need to do a lot more PR stuff and get the chat going. If this report is not totally correct about Cayuga (we have heard lots of stuff about Cayuga that hasn't panned out) then so be it. Last years ARCA race at Cayuga was a huge disappointment as far as fan turn out goes because there was zero PR. Get the buzz going.
p.s. speaking of Delaware, whats up with their site? You go there and the site has been suspended and gives links to pay the bill.
OK now that I have posted both races where Nascar drivers drove at Cayuga. Why is it not possible to have drivers here again. Why should we believe the doubters?
Why look for the bad in the release? Doesn't make any sense. Ross why not get the drivers you mention and approach a track and put a good race show on for us?
See and when the press releases and we get chating about it we have people doubting it and why should they bother reporting it if all we do is knock it before the event even happens. I know Cayuga made a lot of promisses and they intended to do a lot with the track but the cost was just too much but for racing is a different story I have seen and hear great racing there.
If it doesn't happen come on here and complain but doing it before doesn't help racing.

I own a hosting company and this can happen for many reasons. The system never processed the payment, They are transferring to a new host or someone forgot or was late in sending out the payment. This happens all the time some hosting company's have a 10 day non payment and the system suspends the account. 10 days is to fast to do and I set mine at 2 month before it suspends the account with that notice.
I have contacted someone that works at the track to let them know if they don't know already.
The track is doing well and the 2009 schedule will be out shortly.
