Hey everybody. We’re one week away from racing in St. Louis. It’s going to feel great to be back in the Ergon Tundra. For those of you who are just tuning in, David Stremme has been in the truck for the last two races. Our team made the decision to put a veteran driver in the seat to help evaluate our program. We weren’t finishing races like we needed to and we wanted to get another driver’s input, kind of like Red Bull Racing did with A.J. Almendinger earlier this year. Stremme gave us some good advice and helped me with a few things that will make our team stronger for the rest of the season. I think you’re going to see us raise the bar for the rest of the year.
In the next 10 races, we’ll be going to a few of the tracks I’ve already raced at. I’ve raced at Gateway, Talladega, Atlanta and Texas. Experience goes a long way in NASCAR. When we go to a track I’ve already competed at, I don’t have to spend our practice time trying to find the best line around the track or figuring out how the truck needs to feel. We’ll have more time to focus on fine tuning the Ergon Toyota, not making big swaps. Things are coming together and we’re going to finish this year strong.
Football season kicks off this week. I’m stoked. I’m an Auburn grad and it looks like my Tigers are going to have a good year. I’m sure that a lot of you Ergon folks are big Mississippi State and Ole Miss fans. I know the SEC rivalries run deep, so we’ll all have to make an effort to get along over the next few months. Of course, my sister went to University of Georgia and I grew up in Tallahassee, so it seems like my friends and family never agree on anything football-related.
Have a good week. If anyone wants to email me about racing, football, or anything else, my address is mmitchell@nettally.com. Talk to you soon.
Take care,
Marc

Hi Marc! Yeah, football season is the greatest!!! Well, next to anything NASCAR for me, anyway. :) I'm a Big 10 gal myself - looking forward to watching my Wolverines, but will be keeping an eye on your Tigers as well (you're not the only Auburn grad I know). Here's hoping both you and your Tigers get wins!
