@amyjcoons Congratulations Cale. Now that he's broken the ice in a sprint car, I know of a pretty fast Silver Crown car that's for sale.

@ggregga24 @midwestern_ope Chicago and Illinois are two different states

@ripjetson9 I was so grateful to just sit down. All I got from PRI was sore feet and shop envy.

[Dave Whisler @Dave_Whisler]

@ripjetson9 You will destroy productivity resetting camera angles, redoing flubbed lines and editing content. Every hater and troll will nitpick incessantly. Don't do it.

[Dave Whisler @Dave_Whisler]

The motor in @SCracer55 was TIRED! Parts shortages and lead times on custom parts have kept us from competition until this weekend @USACNation Four Crown Nationals. Special thanks to Cale Coons for giving up his race night so that dad, @JerryCoonsJr can wheel #55 again.

Devil's Bowl?

1. Knoxville
2. Eldora
3. Kokomo
4. Devils Bowl
5. Port Royal
6. Millbridge
7. Perris

@connerwade66 @bobdillner Happy Birthday my friend. See you at the races.

[Dave Whisler @Dave_Whisler]

@slidejob_bob All one sentence: Time to drop the HAMMER, the leaders are in traffic.

[Dave Whisler @Dave_Whisler]

@ripjetson9 @BradyBacon @robertballou81 That's some real Chilli Bowl track mitigation!

[americanracefan @americanracefa1]

Incredible run by @JerryCoonsJr and that historic Bateman #55 car. So cool to see them running up front

[Dave Whisler @Dave_Whisler]

Thank you @TEIRacing & @USACNation for the effort to make #TedHorn100 happen. Patty Bateman's ( @SCracer55 ) car started 9th and finished 9th. @JerryCoonsJr was running a comfortable 2nd when a late race gremlin sidelined our effort.

"Straight Outta Tucson"

No driver in champ car racing history at the @DQStateFair has won the pole more often than @JerryCoonsJr.

Jerry has achieved the feat in 2001-10-13-17.

This Saturday night, he'll pilot the @SCracer55 where he'll aim for pole #5 & win #1.

#TedHorn100

Led laps, finished 2nd.

@ripjetson9 Is the penalty applied by the reversing vehicle doing a sudden brake check?

[Dave Whisler @Dave_Whisler]

@Wade_Seiler @connerwade66 Congratulations from Pam and me also.

Jerry always extracts everything Patty's DRC / FOXCO gives him.
