This leads us to picking the champions in the four major dirt series, the WoO Late Models and Sprints, the Lucas Oil Dirt Late Models and the All Star Circuit of Champions!

You may be a little confused as to why there is an episode this week, after it was announced that we weren't going to have one.  The good news is we're still not having an episode, this is a quick update as to what's going on and a quick shout out to our sponsors. Be sure to catch our friend Ryan Missler on the dirtrackr podcast and grab one of our new decals. Thanks to Propane.com and the The Whistle Stop for their support!!
