Speed weeks are here! The 2011 FASCAR Head 2 Head Series Season is set to begin this weekend with the running of the Bud Shootout! There are some changes to the Point System and three brand new teams this year. Not many changes were announced during Silly Season, but there were a few new Sponsor deals and one manufacturer change. Let us get to the run down of the Teams this year. Little Diva, Inc. – Last years Overall Champ, is hoping to avoid the sophomore slump that claims many teams each year as she takes her #18 M&M’s Chevy out for the 2011 Season and attempts to claim Back to Back Titles. Smoke Motorsports – Last seasons surprise Team. This Team floated on the border of the Play-Offs all Season long and finally claimed the final spot, and created several upsets defeating Teams that no one expected. Still riding the momentum, this Team is optimistic for 2011. No changes to the #39 Bakugan Chevy. Dega Racing – Dega Racing had an up and down Season last year, nearly claiming the Truck Series Title and defeating the top team all of 2010, Whooz Racing, during the Playoffs. The #31 Dr Pepper Toyota is looking for more consistency this year. Whooz Racing – The top team all of last season until the Playoffs when this team lost its momentum and failed to capitalize on its strong Chevy’s, though they did manage to take the Cup and Nationwide Titles. The #23 ND Fish & Game Chevy is looking to close out this season as the Champ to make up for a disappointing Chase. L&K Racing – The Truck Series Champ had a difficult start to 2010, but after a Crew Chief change at mid-season, this Team came to life when it counted. The #55 Diet Coke Chevy is ready to defend the Truck Title. AE Motorsports – Another team like Dega Racing, had an up and down year, never able to put together strong runs for more that a couple races. This team is looking for some extra momentum coming into Daytona. The #11 Dodge brings a new Sponsor with her, as Folgers will be on the hood. Renegade Motorsports – This team had a tough 2010, managing to win a little more than half of their match-ups. The #95 Bass Pro Shop Chevy is looking for a better performance in 2011. Raisin’ Kahne Racing – This team missed the Playoffs though managed to take 8th Place over all. After a poor performance in 2010, the #10 Little Debbie Ford is looking for improvement all around. Scarlett Motorsports – After finishing in last place, this team made a manufacturer change, hoping for any improvement from a dismal 2010. The #99 Kool-Aid Ford is ready to prove last season was just the dreaded sophomore slump. DJC Racing – This team is a true rookie team, though she finished out the season for JCR Motorsports, giving her valuable seat time. The #5 PetSmart Chevy is looking for a great first Season. ND Bad Ass Racing & Erickson Racing – Though considered rookies this year these two teams are anything but. They decided a year off was what was needed to recharge their respective teams batteries, the #24 Malibu Rum Dodge & the #1 Mountain Dew Dodge will be tough competitors this season. This Season promises to be even better than 2010, and we will be kicking off things on Saturday night, followed by a Triple Header weekend at Daytona beginning on February 18 ending with the Great American Race, the Daytona 500 on February 20! See you all at the track this weekend!
I would like to thank Joseph for taking the time and writing up this great preview for all the teams. You hit on some very good points of last year and some I really didnt want to read about (LoL).
At the Whooz Racing Shop here in Minot, the guys have been putting in some extra time to get things better not just for the regular season but, for the post season as well.
This year it will be very imporant to stay in the top 4 in the standings because if you are 5th to 12th you need to win in the wild card race to move on, if not your season will be over.
I would like to thank all my sponsors for coming aboard this year
I would like to thank ND Game & Fish with Northland Tackle & Jiffy Ice Drills in the Cup Series.
I would like to thank Bud Light with Coleman & Johnsonville in the Nationwide Series.
I would like to thank Rhapsody with Vh1 & Bret Michaels in the Truck Series.
The one other thanks is to Chevy for the Best Cars & Trucks out there.
That was a great write up Joseph Cardwell I'm glad to be back in the League, and I sure hope everyone has a great year. Thanks for having me back in the league.
I like to talk trash, lol, I speak the truth. OK your right I love talking trash, it gets people pumped up and makes them want to kick my butt when they face me.
It's good to be back, now I just have to make sure my wife doesn't kick my butt in these leagues as she has done in the past.
It sure feels good to get back to the shop and get back to working on our Cars & Trucks for the up coming season. We have had a pretty good off season, doing a little ice fishing, took in some wrestling & hockey games.
We are looking at a very strong season this year with our NEW Primary Sponsors Bass Pro Shops, WWE & KISS.
It seems like its been a very long off season for us here at the Little Diva Inc. shop. We are so ready to defend our championship.
We are happy to see that GoDaddy.com came on as our Primary Sponsor in the Nationwide Series & Taylor Swift as our Primary Sponsor in the Truck Series.
Good Luck To Everyone This Season as we go for Back 2 Back Championship.
