Thanks Dick. I thought I remembered that when I saw one of the drivers at Eldora tonight, Johnny Mackinson. Must just be a coincidence.

No, I believe that is him. Note that he's still running #65. USAC has the name spelled wrong. He has previously announced his plan to run the Eastern Swing, so I assume he's running Eldora to get tuned up for that.

It's amazing how slow everything seems to be when you're sitting at home watching Twitter and USAC Now and IOW. When you're at the track, everything seems to just flow along. :-)

Hi all, Jersey here--- Johnny Mac runs wing sprints at Lincoln PA on a pretty regular basis. He ran 3rd or 4th last year at Lincoln during the USAC Eastern Storm. He has also run Big E once non-wing years ago and ended up on his head pretty hard. Gotta give him credit for going off the porch.
