Gleason Bros. Racing

It's been a long 2 weeks. I went through my 3rd motor in 3 years last week, and worked all week finding a replacement ride or engine, only to get the borrowed motor installed, and have it rain out on 6/23. 

Something needs to be done about these Mini Stocks blowing engines. I know of at least 5-6 engines that have blown this year alone, all due to snapped crankshafts. I'm tired of blowing money on engines that should last a full season AT LEAST, only to have them last 8-10 races because the cranks are weak. They only allow us to run stock cranks and we break them consistently. At this rate I'll be out of racing in no time, its stupid.

I HAD a good year going until then. I was off to my best start ever, a string of consistent top 10 finishes. I had only finished top 10 in a points race once before this year. I was sitting pretty well off when my motor took a dump in turn 3. That pretty much shot my whole season to pieces. Missing one race will utterly doom my final points position. Therefore, I have nothing left to lose. Expect to see a more desperate #4 car at the next race. All I wanted was a shot to prove myself behind the wheel, and I'm all done playing nice and conservative. Points no longer matter, and if I'm moving forward, NOBODY will get in my way.

Thanks,
Brent
