The second night of
the season at Illiana Motor Speedway dawned cold and partly
cloudy. When Josh took to the track for his first and only
practice there was a slight problem after the first lap. He came
onto pit road and Carl Kolbe was under the right rear of the car
checking to see if the spring was seated, turns out that it was.
As Josh went back onto the track Jason and Butch Kolbe were
talking to him through the headset. Jason was timing Josh's laps
and was calling them out to our fearless driver. His best time
during practice was 21.029.

Josh Nelms will not only be running for the Mid-Am Championship at Illiana, he will be running for the Grundy Mid-Am Championship. Grundy opens April 29th and Josh will be driving the Penrod Racing Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Josh and car owner Mike Penrod struck a deal last Tuesday to drive the car for the season. Josh stated, "Mike and his family are great people and I'm looking forward to working with them. It's going to be tough the first couple of weeks getting adjusted to running every week but I'll get used to it." The CJ Motorsports team will also pull double duty and crew the car for Josh. Butch Kolbe will be calling the shots as crew chief. In Josh's few visit's to the 3/8 mile track he has scored 3 top 10 finishes in 3 starts with two top 5's. The car will be sponsored by Towing Express and Jimmy's Roofing. |

Opening fell upon Illiana
Speedway for it's 58th season. The CJ Motorsports team was all fired
up as the car was just finished this week! Carl and the rest of the
team arrived at the track bright and early to get through the tech
process and everything went fine.
