    I think race drivers should have nicknames.  Maybe not all race drivers, but many of them should be identified by a cool nickname.  It helps the fans relate to their heroes of speed, and I haven't met a driver yet (with one exception) who doesn't enjoy being introduced by his/her nickname.  Warren Ruffner, the esteemed announcer at the Reading Fairgrounds, was a master at coming up with nicknames that really fit certain drivers, and the fans, along with the racers themselves, loved it.

On September 13th, 2008 the Tri-State Minisprint Association will host a $2000 to win $100 to start the A main at Riverside Speedway. The track owner/promoter have came up with a race that no one will forget. We are expecting cars from just about everywhere. This race is just 5 days from the 3 annual 600 Nationals hosted at I-30 Speedway. Our goal is to catch some of the racers that would be taking off early to catch a race on the way to stop in on saturday for our special event. The race will be TSMA rules. Our normal $25 membership will be waived due to it being our last scheduled event of 2008.
