Borneman slates busy weekend

Johnny Borneman has busy plans for his Fourth of July holiday this year – with travel, visiting the beach and a couple of stock car races.

The beach he is visiting is actually Daytona Beach, Fla., where Borneman will attempt to qualify for Friday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway. He then plans to fly from the East Coast to the West Coast to compete in a NASCAR Camping World Series West race on Saturday at Toyota Speedway at Irwindale, Calif.

News & Notes: Myers Ready To Visit Victory Lane At Caraway

Burt Myers (No. 1 Capital Bank Ford) is no stranger to success in the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour. In fact, Myers is no stranger to success in any type of race car.

Competition Starting To Heat Up

While Morris is off to a strong start – seven wins and 13 top fives in 16 starts and is second in points as the racing season hits the unofficial halfway point, challengers are abundant and come from all over the map.

News & Notes: Out Front At Home

In last year’s chase for the championship in the NASCAR Camping World Series West, Jason Bowles (No. 6 Sunrise Ford.com Ford) gained a lot of momentum when he followed up a win at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., with a victory at his home track of Toyota Speedway at Irwindale (Calif.).
