Note: We and others are still very unhappy with NASCAR about the last five “Flowing” broadcasts and the extra money to view it.  That fact and many other things over the past years have turned off many NASCAR fans.

Eastern Storm Opener Stopped By Wet Grounds, Next Thunder Event Is PA Speed Week, Tuesday, July 1 At Grandview

BECHTELSVILLE, PA    JUNE 17,  2025  . . . . . .  When will Mother Nature give us a break?    The Tuesday, June 17 USAC Eastern Storm and 358 Modified Doubleheader  became just another show of many to be cancelled due to weather conditions.    Extreme wet conditions at the track and a miserable weather day with 93% cloud cover, occasional light mist and no sun is preventing the track crew from starting the preparation.  There is also a concern for spectators walking in the grandstand area with the very wet grounds.

How Did New England Drivers Do South Of The Border… Other Notes

How Did New England Drivers Do South Of The Border… Other Notes

Shane Van Gisbergen won the first Cup race at Mexico City.  Ryan Preece of Berlin, CT came in 15th while Joey Logano of Middletown, CT finished in 21st position.

Daniel Suarez won the Mexico City Xfinity race before a cheering crowd.  Kris Wright came in 17th while Anthony Alfredo of Ridgefield, CT was 21st.  Kris Wright drives the Chris and Mary Our entry.  The father and daughter team owners reside on Cape Cod and receive their mail in Chatham, MA.

Note: It was nice to be able to watch the F1 race in Montreal and the Indy Car race in E. St. Louis and the Le Mans Endurance race in France on TV over the weekend.  Again, we have to let NASCAR know that it was not at all pleasant to miss the Amazon-Prime Mexico race because we could not find a way to receive the broadcast.   Nor did I and the rest of the fans, along with some of the media,  feel very pressured by the sanction to spend the extra money, beyond the cable TV charges, when in previous years,  we did not have to make this payment.
