Nicole Bower. You go, girl!

Nicole Bower is the one and only girl who races at Port Royal Speedway religiously. She is only 21-years-old, and has been racing for five years. She hasn't won a race yet, or even been in the top five, but she gets major respect, especially from women, for having the guts to get strapped into a sprint car. Many people say "she's to scared to get up there with the big dogs," but that's not true. It just takes time to get a good handle on the car, and to know the track. Anyway, Nicole is from Camp Hill, PA, and she says her parents, Gina and Gary, and her sister, Brooke Bower, are her biggest supporters. Her sponser is ABC West Lanes, which is a bowling alley she goes to when she's not racing. Nicole's second hobby, racing being first, of course, is bowling. Bower is going to Delaware State University. Nicole's favorite band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers, her favorite restraunt is Hoss's, and her favorite drink is Iced Tea. When Nicole first started racing, she raced Quarter midgets. Bower's favorite track is Selinsgrove Speedway, and her chassis is made by Schnee. Her motors are made by Rider Racing Engines, and her future goals are USAC, and NASCAR. That's all I can say about the 75 of Nicole Bower!

Justin Henderson.

Justin Henderson is a 30-year-old lean mean racing machine. He is from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Henderson has a dog named Zeus, and aside from racing, his hobbies are golfing, paint ball, and working on his El Camino. Justin began racing when he was only five-years-old. He started out racing karts, then 4-wheelers, and before he even turned 16, he was behind the wheel, and strapping into a sprint car. He began racing IMCA 360 sprint cars near his home in Sioux Falls after his father, Rod, turned over the family car to him. He was fairly successful as he finished in the top two in points at all three of his local racetrack. Justin quickly showed he not only had the desire to race professionally, but also showed he had the talent to do so. In 2006, opportunity knocked, and Justin was offered a chance to race wih the World of Outlaws, and he made the most of it by finishing 7th in points as a rookie out of 16 full time traveling cars. The mild mannered Henderson always has time to talk to the fans, and sign autographs, even though it can get annoying, and even if he loses a race, he still talks to them, and puts a smile on his face. That's what I like about Justin. He's very mannerly, and respectful. In 2009, Justin joined the PA Posse team for the entire season. Justin is a very successful driver. In 2010, he raced 73 races. With one win, 10 top 5's, and 23 top 10's, and over 50 wins altogether, he's an amazing driver, and I'd be highly disappointed if he ever stopped racing.

Daryl Stimeling.

Daryl Stimeling was born on March 21, 1966. He was born and raised in good ole' Lewistown, Pennsylvania. He's married to his wife, Paula, and has two daughters named Rachel and Tiffany. Aside from racing, to put dinner on the table, he is a logger. His hobby is obviously racing, and his favorite food is a cheesesteak from Parkway on Shaw Avenue. Stimeling is a country music fan, and his favorite singer is Garth Brooks. Daryl started racing in 1978. He first raced Go-Karts, then later switched over to Sprints in 1987. Stimeling has a very successful 15 career wins title. His chassis are J&J, and J&B, and he would never get someone else to make his chassis. Stimeling's motors are 410, and 358 Ford. Daryl's crew members who he gives major credit to, are Cliff, Duff, Harry, and Craig. Daryl says his favorite track is Sharon Speedway in Hartford, Ohio. Stimeling says the biggest impact on his racing career was his dad because his dad took him to the races all the time, and his racing heroes are Todd Shaffer, and Bobby Davis. Stimeling plans to stay in the Sprint Car division, but he wants to move from 410's, to a limited division like 358's, and his career dream is to run with the All-Stars.

"The winner ain't the one with the fastest car. It's the one that refuses to lose."

-Dale Earnhardt Sr.

This will forever be my favorite quote.

Not only is it by one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history,

but it also means something to me. It reminds me that even if I don't win something,

I still won because I didn't give up.

Todd "Mr. Excitement" Shaffer.

Todd Shaffer, AKA Mr. Excitement, was born on November 8th, 1961 in Millerstown, PA. His wife's name is Allyson, and they have a daughter together named Salene. Todd is a building contractor. Gary and Patty Beam are Shaffer's race team owners, and his head wrench's name is Jim Russell. Todd has four crew members, and four sponsors. Mr. Excitement's chassis is a JEI, and his Engine was made by Don Ott. Outside of racing, he likes hunting, snowmobiling, riding his motorcycle, and golfing. Shaffer raced go-karts for 19 years, has 300+ feature wins, eight Grand National Championships, and he competed for three years as a touring prfessional in the World Karting Association for Link Enterprises of Dove, Delaware. After go-karts he moved up to the 410 Sprint Cars. He's been racing Sprints for 25 years, has 195 feature wins, and 13 track championships at Sharon Speedway, Williams Grove Speedway, Port Royal Speedway, and Selinsgrove Speedway. After everything went down with Tyler Walker, (Read post below), he got in the number 17's driver seat. A lot of people, including myself, do not like Shaffer. On the other hand, a lot do. He races dirty, and he'll do anything to win a race. I hate dirty racers. He's a nice person, but a dirty racer!

Bye, bye, Walker!

Tyler Walker used to be one of the best racers to ever set foot on the Port Royal Speedway. He won the King's Royal race in Eldora, Ohio, and he has so many more accomplishments. He ruined it all by not taking a drug test. Drivers are randomly drug tested in every single form of racing machines that there is. They have to make sure that the drivers are able to get behind the wheel of a car safely. All he had to do is take one simple drug test. Walker refused. Walker is out. Bye, bye, Walker!

Happy Birthday to the best racer I know.

Stephen Michael Yarnall was born on December 2nd, 1989, in Nook, PA. He now lives in Mifflintown, PA. He moved to Mifflintown when he was just five-years-old. Right down the road, there was this guy, Gary, who raced Pro Stock cars. Stephen went to Gary's house everrrrrrryday, and learned so much from it. Gary got him started in his racing career, and I'm so happy he did, because Stephen is the most talented driver I know. He won 96% of his races this year, and that's over-the-top good. Yarnall rarely gets into an accident, but if he does, LOOK OUT. He's coming after you, if it was your fault. I'll never forget the night of the 66-lapper at Penns Creek. Some idiot wrecked him, and Stephen went up in the air and flipped three times, and landed on his head. Thinking about it now gets me shaking. After that race, I was determined to seriously injure that man. I went up to him, and got in his face, and he raised his fist at me, and out of nowhere Stephen comes and punches him in the mouth. The guy went and complained to the track officials, and they said, "Hey, man.. We saw what we saw. What you did was wrong, and you deserved what you got." That made me extremely happy. As you can tell, it can get a little heated at the race tracks. But it's so much fun, and it's what I live for. Stephen is not only my boyfriend, but he's my best friend, and my hero. Happy Birthday, <3.
