Based out of Shasta/Keswick in beautiful northern CA, we run in the Super Late Model Stock Car Division at Shasta Speedway.

A racing fan since my youth, racing motorcycles through my teens, in 1984 sold my race bike and we built our first race car.

HER FRIENDS WERE CELEBRATING. SHE WAS CRYING. RANDY OWEN TURNED THAT MOMENT INTO A #1 HIT. One night in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Randy Owen was performing at a hotel nightclub when he noticed a group of women at a nearby table. Loud, laughing, toasting drinks — celebrating their friend's divorce.

But the woman at the center of it all wasn't smiling. What she said next stopped Randy cold — and years later, he still remembered every word of it. She told her friends she didn't want this. She'd rather be home with her husband. She still loved him.

Randy wrote "Lady Down on Love" from that moment — telling both sides of a broken marriage. Her loneliness. His regret after falling for another woman. The kind of pain no celebration can cover up.

It became Alabama's 11th consecutive #1 hit in 1983, part of a record streak of 21 straight chart-toppers. Thirty years later, Kenny Chesney covered it. Randy just said: "He sang the hell out of it."

Hello everyone, and Happy Sunday!

If you were at the track last Saturday night (May 30) you likely saw the B&G Motorsports #02 Camaro involved in a heavy crash.

First and most importantly, Eric is completely fine and walked away with no injuries.

While the wreck looked dramatic from the grandstands, it was caused by another driver (name intentionally omitted) hitting us in the left-rear quarter panel, which sent us spinning counterclockwise before they drove over the top of our car. We were simply caught up in an incident that wasn’t of our making.

When the dust settled, three cars were left wrecked across the backstretch.

Once we got our car back to the pits, we began assessing the damage. There’s quite a bit of cosmetic damage visible, and we’ll have a better understanding of the full extent today as we tear into it.

The frustrating part is that we had a very strong car — one truly capable of winning — but got collected in someone else’s overly aggressive move.

On a positive note, we now have two months to get everything repaired and sorted out. We’ll be back ready to go in September for Race #4 at Shasta Speedway.

Thank you all for your support and well wishes for Eric and the team. We’ll keep you updated!

I grew up believing that lying under oath was a serious thing no matter who you were. Regular people could lose their job, their reputation, or even their freedom for it. That’s why so many Americans were raised to believe honesty and accountability mattered, especially from people in positions of power.

What frustrates a lot of hardworking people today is watching politicians make promises, dodge questions, and walk away from things that would ruin an ordinary citizen’s life. Somewhere along the line, it started feeling like there were two different sets of rules — one for everyday Americans and another for the people making the laws.

Most people don’t expect perfection from politicians. They just expect the same accountability the rest of the country has to live by every single day.
