SPRINGFIELD IL (8-15-08) - At 8 am Friday morning 5 ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series officials and our illustrious PR guy set out on a 420 mile journey to Springfield, Illinois for the Saturday running of the Best Western Challenge - on a mile dirt track.

The journey, as we like to call it, kind of reminds me of the grass roots style of racing that we have all come to love.

We all usually travel in one vehicle along with all the equipment needed to put on the show. We usually get meals to go so we can get back on the road.

SPRINGFIELD IL (8-12-08) - The ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series, in conjunction with the Tony Bettenhausen 100 USAC championship race on the World's Fastest One Mile Dirt Track, returns to the 156th Illinois State Fair as part of Conservation Day. The 2008 race, Saturday August 16, will be the third running of the Best Western Challenge for the Lincoln Welders Truck Series participants.

2006 ARCA Truck champ Paul Hahn, of Canton, Michigan, leads the 2008 title chase in a quest for his second championship. He is being chased by 2006 ARCA Truck Rookie of the Year Nick Gullatta of Cleveland, Ohio.

DELAWARE ON (8-1-08) - ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series veteran Nick Gullatta out-dueled veteran Steve Christman during a late-race battle to win the curfew-shortened Lincoln Welders 100 Friday night at Delaware Speedway in Delaware, Ontario.

Gullatta, in Stan Rosen's Thomson Automotive-Mr. Heater-Enerco Chevrolet, edged Christman at the final stripe by a half-length to earn the hard-fought victory, his seventh series triumph of his career.

"It's always a lot of fun racing with Steve (Christman)", said Gullatta. "He's a veteran; I knew he would race me hard, but I also knew he would race me clean."

NEWTON IA (7-20-08) - When it comes to the ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series these days, Canton, Michigan's Paul Hahn has nary a challenger.

That proved true again Sunday afternoon at Iowa Speedway where Hahn, in his father Rick Hahn's no. 7 Hahn's Powder Coating-Fox Auto Parts-Howe Racing Chevy Colorado, raced from last to first to win the inaugural ARCA Lincoln Welders 50.

The victory was Hahn's sixth of the season after nine events and his 21st career series triumph, placing the 2006 series champion just three wins shy of Chad Guinn's all-time victory mark of 24.

GROVE CITY OH (7-5-08) - O' Canada!
It was great to be in Canada the last two races! A couple of weeks ago we didn't think we would be able to do the Canada races so we were just glad to be there! Ed Yoak of Ed & Co. Racing Supplies called me just before the Kil Kare rainout and we worked out a deal for him to tow our race truck up there for us. Tom, everyone on our team and I want to say "thanks" to both Ed & Jackie for doing that for us. Without them we might not have been there. Next we have to "thank" Ted Hayes from EPH Tools. He not only sponsored the race at Sauble but put together enough sponsorship money for each team to get an extra $290 each above the race purse! We were proud to carry the EPH Tools logo on our hood for this event. Thanks Ted!

NELLES CORNERS ON (6-28-08) - Nobody does it quite like Nick Gullatta, at least not Saturday afternoon at Cayuga Motor Speedway where the Cleveland, Ohio driver won the 2BKool Pole Award, led the most laps and won the ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series 50-lap main event.

"It may have looked easy but it was anything but simple," said a tired Gullatta from victory lane. "This track is very challenging, very bumpy - we worked very hard on the set-up and fortunately it paid off for us. I want to congratulate Mike Young for a great run today - he did a really nice job out there."

SAUBLE BEACH ON (6-21-08) - Apparently, there's no stopping Paul Hahn, at least for now. The Canton, Michigan native nailed down his fourth consecutive ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series (ALWTS) victory Saturday night at Sauble Speedway in Sauble Beach, Ontario.

Race Sponsor EPH Steps Up for Fuel Costs
SAUBLE BEACH ONTARIO (6-19-08) - Much has been said regarding the ARCA RE/MAX Series upcoming venture to Cayuga Motor Speedway in Nelles Corners, Ontario. And rightly so; it's been more than 15 years since the renowned national tour has raced in Canada.

However, the ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series has been a frequent flyer in Canada since 2005; and it's getting ready to return this weekend - to Sauble Speedway in Sauble Beach, Ontario where the red carpet treatment awaits each and every traveling trucker making the Canadian trek.

XENIA OH (6-13-08) - The Friday, June 13 ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series 100-lap race from Kil-Kare Raceway has been rained out. The race has been rescheduled for Friday, July 11.
