JamesKnight2010James Knight battled through chemotherapy and 35 competitors to win a championship in the Pure Stocks at DeSoto Speedway in 1999. After being schooled by Gus Coorssen, one of Florida’s best, he beat all the odds becoming DeSoto’s fan favorite and taking home the first place trophy. James told his story on Inside Florida Racing Tuesday night with hosts Jack Smith and Racin’ Jason Beckner.

Also in the studio Tuesday night were Phil and Michelle Ellis. Phil is a first year driver in the Pro 4 Cylinder division at Punta Gorda Speedway. Phil is having the time of his life, running in the top three in points with his wife helping all along the way.

The first public statement from a Florida speedway ownership in the wake of Monday’s owners meeting came today in the form of a press release from Punta Gorda Speedway.

The speedway issued the following press release:

Punta Gorda Speedway’s Track Manager Greg Roeback attended the owners meeting on Monday at Auburndale Speedway.  Many topics were discussed from all tracks using the same tire to all purses being the same at all of the Florida tracks and puting caps or limits on visiting or touring classes.  After a long discussion with Kevin Williams and Mike Chase, owners of the speedway, we have decided to make the following statement:

Punta Gorda Speedway will continue to stride to be the premiere short track in the state with fair purses, entry fees and tire costs for the racers, fair ticket prices and a friendly clean environment for the fans.

We are going to stay with our current tire company (Goodyear) thru the 2011 season. We as businessmen have made a commitment to them and in return they have made a fair commitment to us and our racers.

We will make an attempt not to create schedule conflicts with the other tracks.  We will not participate in an across the board purse schedule for all tracks as this may create undo hardship for our racers and ultimately our fans.

We will do what we feel is right by the racers and run our business accordingly.

We have already achieved many of our short term goals and we feel by running our business by our standards we will achieve long term success.

We look forward to seeing you at our racing facility.
