7.24.10 Wow! The move to drop Kil-Kare out of my schedule has really paid off. The crew and I all agreed that we needed to focus on one track. I think it was the right decision, for now. I will let the stats speak for themselves. We have had three history making weeks in a row! At Columbus Motor Speedway, I was the first female to set fast time. The following week, I was the first female to win all three events-fast time, dash, and feature winner. Last Saturday, I hit another first milestone at the same track. On an extremely hot night, with potential investment partners at the track, we set a new track record. The crew deserves all the credit and I am so proud to be part of our team. The GreenPro NASCAR Whelen Late Model was great in the dash race. I had to start in the rear again! However, I was able to work my way up to second by a few inches!! Honestly The feature was awesome. It was the John Nuckles Memorial Race so it was a special race that was 75 laps instead of the usual 35. It was great because I had 20 cars to race with. The Bond Machine crew gave me a great car to drive. My line didn’t move so I had to drop back to start to go forward on the inside line. At about lap seven, I started to pick off cars one at a time on the outside. By lap 30, the Koehkle Component NWAAS Late model was in position to challenge the race leader. It was quite the battle. It was back to back and side by side racing for the rest of the 45 laps. I was able to bring home another top 3 finish! I am amazed and blessed to be doing so well I am doing in spite of not having an anchor sponsor in 2010. We made the trip to get my birthday present. A male Australian Shepherd puppy and he is a red merle. I have a miniature Aussie already. Jill is around 8 yrs old and a great best friend. We have an awesome outside guard dog. Jack doesn’t let anybody near the house. He is very protective but not playful. Dad got invited to a Rotary Club meeting in Cincinnati. It is where he met Mr. Scherzinger. Dad and I will be meeting him after the 8:20 am Fox 19 interview on Wednesday. We are also opening up an office in Mason soon. We want to thank Intelligent Office for the very nice office space and Business support Services. You Probably don’t know anybody that want to be part of NASCAR Whelen History in 2010 but if you do, We still are looking for partners so we can start running at Kil-Kare again. FREE lunch Thursday. I will be at National Bank and Trust Company’s Midsummer Break on Thursday, July 29 from 11:00 am to 1 pm in Springboro with the Rebel 105.9 NASCAR Whelen LM race car Sunday, I will also be on NASCAR Sirius radio channel 128 with Pat Patterson at 9:10 and 700 WLW , that’s August 1st, from 7:00-8:30 pm. “don’t think I can talk that long” . Lastly, I will also be in the Carlisle River Days parade.
Thanks Sloan and Crew

July 11, 2010 The weather hasn’t been too bad just hot. However, my engine has been a real problem which has been making me and the crew sweat! It all started just before the Franklin, July 4th Parade. More about that later! The Franklin, July 4th Parade was very fun. I have never been a Grand Marshal before so it was all new to me. White-Allen Chevrolet sent a really awesome truck that was supposed to pull my car. However, the guys were busy trying to get my engine back together so my car didn’t make it to the parade. The crew had worked on my car until 4 am on Saturday morning. I was up until 1 am so I was tired. However, I was so excited to get to rededicate the Lyon’s Bridge! I am really proud of my hometown. It’s a great place to learn about life, God, and values! I want to thank everyone for their kind words and encouragement during the whole parade! The whole engine issue …. Race engines are not like everyday car engines. You are trying to get about 2 horsepower out of 1 cubic inch. Well, that puts a lot of strain on parts. We had Gary’s engine for his car out to a shop in Springfield so we tried a new builder. It was unlikely to get both motors back in time if we sent them to the same builder. Dad head up to get my motor on Thursday. However, when he got there they were still working on it. It was also decided to do some more to help get a little more power. Dad got in at 3 am Friday morning. Everybody got to the shop early Friday evening to start putting the motor in. It was around 11 pm when we started it up. It didn’t sound right so we pull the valve covers off. We started it back up and it was better but still had a weird sound. At midnight Gary called the engine builder, Ross, and they deiced to let it run a little longer. After that we saw what looked like water in the heads, somehow water was getting through the stud in the block and in the heads. Ross, the engine builder, decided to come to the shop. I decided to go home to get sleep because of the parade and Saturday race was a double point race. I need to do well. I was told Ross and his son got to shop around 1:30 am. At 2 am, dad decided to call it a night because the car was show ready and the volunteer crew was getting tired. Ross and his son said they would stay and get motor torn apart. Dad left at 3am and I’m told they finish up at 4am. I got up at 7 am to get ready for the parade. After the Parade, we met mom and dad’s families at Pisanello’s and had a quick lunch. Dad and I got down to the shop about 2 and they were all still working on the engine. In addition, we needed to do 2 hours of set up. About 4 PM, we started the motor and still didn’t get it 100% sealed up. The decision to throw in the towel in was made. I didn’t get to race Columbus on July 3rd. We were all disappointed that we had worked so hard with little to show for it. However, we got a break because my point’s competitor had a bad night and didn’t finish well. Bad for him but good for me! At that point, I still had a 1 point lead in the state and lost 6 positions at CMS. Finally, I got to race at Columbus, Saturday, July 10th. It was a long road to get there! We had a flat tire on the trailer on the way. I had one practice to shake down the new motor. I had to push the car to the max in qualifying to learn what it could do. I got fast time!!! It was a first for me. Gary and the crew gave me a great car. The Dash race was fun, I finished 2nd after starting forth just behind the Oakley Asphalt car. Because I was the fastest car, I had to start at the end because of the inversion. It took 3 starts to get one green flag lag in. The leader cars just didn’t fire hard and we would have to start again. The nose of the car got pushed in and the car pushed really bad!!!! All I could get out of this car was 7th in the feature. Not enough to stay in front in the points. This Friday I be at Sonic in Sidney just off I-75, from 5-700pm so if you know someone that live up north please tell them to stop by!!! I will be also doing a recorded interview on MRN radio in Iowa, this Wednesday night at 4pm. Also, I am doing a promotional commercial for Columbus Motor Speedway next Friday. I will also be at National Bank and Trust’s street/block party in Springboro on July 29th. I will also be doing an interview on 700 WLW on August 1st. In addition, I will also be in the parade for Carlisle Railroad Days in late August. Finally, don’t forget my weekly radio racing update on the Rebel 105.9 on Tuesdays at 2:45!! We have been talking with a producer in California for about a year. He has been asking me to do a reality show. We finally have the contract worked out and signed. The next step is for him to sell the show to a network. He hopes to have it sold soon. If that goes well, they will be here filming soon. We still got an opportunity for local company to do a cash and/or product sponsorship. Any regional company can still get involved in a life time endorsement opportunity like GreenPro Landscaping and Koehlke Components. We still need at least 18k to have a chance to be the first female in America to win a state NWAAS championship. Sloan and the Crew.

6.26.10 No rain but lots of humidity! Yuk! I went to Sonic on Wednesday. The humidity was terrible. Several people came out which was nice. Hopefully, I will get a referral to their corporate office to help with Camping World Trucks in 2011. Also, this week a film company came to the shop and Kil-Kare to do a promotional film for Richard Petty Company. The local company called NASCAR and they gave them my name to help do some of the commercial. It was awesome that they referred me to them. I sometimes I think NASCAR doesn’t know I exist all the way up here in Ohio. Friday at Kil-Kare, Channel 2 and Miller Media both came to the track to do interviews. I had no idea they were coming. It made for very hurried evening. I missed my first practice. The second practice went well. I had fast time at that point even thought the car was bottoming out. Gary and the guys made the adjustments on the Rebel 105.9 Koehlke Components NASCAR Whelen LM. There was a bad wreck in the street stock practice so Kil-Kare cancelled the third practice. We couldn’t get a good feel for how the car would act in feature. I qualified second with the Sunoco racing fuel provide by Estes Oil in Franklin. We had fast time till the last Oakley Asphalt car came out. I ended up finishing 3rd in the feature. I was happy that I finished in the top three. I thought I had a great chance to win this race but my strategy didn’t work out. You will have to see it on utube. It was a good night for my sponsors. I had 30 plus people take advantage of the free tickets they get for sponsoring me. Dad really worked hard to get them to come out. I heard GreenPro Landscaping brought a big group and some people came from Cincinnati. I will most likely only be racing at Columbus on Saturdays for the rest of the season. I will be racing at Kil-Kare on a limited basis because of budget constraints. We needed four co anchor and a primary anchor but haven’t got it done, in spite of being the top ranked female NASCAR Whelen LM driver in America. Plus I’m the first female to lead a State championship. Sometimes God works in strange ways. I just have to live with it. I got to thank the two co anchors Green Pro Landscaping and Koehlke Components’ because I would of never made it this far. Hopefully something will come in and we can but together the new car Gary just picked up and start racing at Kil-Kare again soon. There was no race for late models in Columbus this week so I enjoyed the night off. My Facebook friend page is at limit so I can no longer add new friends. My fan page is doing very well. It is at 4,600 fans. I really enjoy all the encouragement and great comments that I get on Facebook. It’s a lot of work trying to keep up with it all. I will see you all at the July 4th Parade in Franklin on Saturday, July 3rd at 10am. White Allen Chevrolet is supply the truck to pull my car. I want to send them a big thank you! If you want a SHM T-shirt for the parade you can get them online if we still got any. Sloan and the crew.
