A locked up oil pump at New Paris, forced the team to pull the motor and take it to Mid-America Motorsports for precautionary measures. With the motor not being ready in time, the team has decided to drop in the backup motor and go racing this weekend. Due to the backup motor not being fresh, the decision was made to run a shorter local race at the 3/8 mile Springport Mid-Michigan Speedway, instead of a longer race at the 1/2 mile Sandusky Speedway.
