General question. What does your local track charge for pit passes for a normal show. With that question, how much are pit passes for kids five and under?

One track has “discounted” their pit passes, for ages five and under, to $20.

DAY 2 — THE PLAN IS STARTING TO COME TOGETHER… SORT OF 😂

Yesterday we told you Joe Duvall's race car WILL be at the 28th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree.

We also told you that beautiful Duvall Electric truck and trailer WILL NOT.

Well, apparently Shelley Duvall has already solved that problem.

Shelley told Joe to tell his crew chief John Potter to dig out the old cube van, fire that baby up and get it pointed north toward Deer Creek Speedway. 😂

And John…

Don't be afraid to throw a mattress in the back.

You're going to need somewhere to sleep.

Good thing Deer Creek Speedway has showers at the campground, because apparently Shelley has John's transportation AND lodging all figured out. 😂

Yesterday it was:

NO JOE = NO BIG RIG.

Today we've learned:

NO BIG RIG = FIRE UP THE OLD CUBE VAN!

So let's see where we're at…

Joe's race car has a way to get to Deer Creek.

John has a ride.

John has a place to sleep.

Deer Creek has showers.

There's only ONE pretty important thing we haven't told you…

WHO IS DRIVING JOE DUVALL'S RACE CAR?

Now it's your turn.

WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR GUESSES!

👇 Put the name of the driver YOU THINK is climbing into Joe's car in the comments below. 👇

Don't be afraid to throw out a wild guess either. We're not telling you if you're right.

At least not yet. 😏

And you might want to take a pretty good look at that old cube van picture before you make your guess…

There may be more to that old picture than you think. 👀

The mystery continues tomorrow.

WHO'S YOUR GUESS?

POST #1 — THE STREAK WILL CONTINUE…

Sometimes racing is about a lot more than racing.

Most of our USMTS fans know by now that longtime USMTS racer Joe Duvall was seriously injured in an accident at work on August 25, suffering burns to more than 50% of his body.

Joe remains in the burn unit recovering, and thankfully he continues to make great progress. He still has a road ahead of him, but anybody who knows Joe knows he’s one tough SOB.

Joe has also done something pretty special this season. He hasn’t missed a single USMTS event in 2026.

And we’re not going to let that streak end at the 28th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree.

USMTS will be allowing Joe’s team to use a substitute driver at the Fall Jamboree so Joe can keep his perfect attendance intact while he continues his recovery.

Now here’s where things get interesting…

The beautiful Duvall Electric hauler pictured below normally carries Joe and his race car up and down the highway.

IT’S NOT COMING TO DEER CREEK.

Joe’s wife has made that pretty clear. 😂

If Joe isn’t riding in that truck, that truck and trailer isn’t leaving Oklahoma.

And we’re certainly not going to argue with her.

There’s just one little problem…

JOE’S RACE CAR IS COMING.

Somehow that race car is going to make the trip north to the Fall Jamboree.

And when it gets there…

Somebody will be climbing behind the wheel.

Who is it?

We’re not telling you.

Yet.

We’re going to have a little fun with this over the next several days. We’ll give you some clues, show you a little history and see if the longtime race fans can figure out who is going to wheel Joe Duvall’s race car at the 28th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree.

For now, take a good look at that big beautiful rig.

Because it isn’t coming.

But Joe Duvall’s race car damn sure is.

Stay tuned… this story is just getting started.

Attention all sprint car drivers or you fans of certain drivers. Want to know your documented, career stats? Kevin Eckert, who I’ve know since 1986, and his Sprintcarstats has that information for you. Each documented race you competed, your finishes and total victories (and where) can be in your hands.

He has helped me a ton with stats for Wayne Johnson, Mike Peters, NCRA 410’s, NCRA 360’s and NCRA 305’s. It’s well well worth the money.
