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.

Better luck in the 2012, season, Freddie!
